Features & Capabilities

Insta Media Downloader is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to simplify downloading media from Instagram. It seamlessly integrates a download button onto every Instagram media post—including grids, articles, stories, reels, and IGTV—allowing users to download single items or entire sets with one click.

The extension adds intuitive download buttons on the bottom right corner of Instagram media. A single-arrow button downloads the current media, while a triple-arrow button downloads all media within the post. It operates directly within Instagram pages, avoiding external websites, and saves files directly to your downloads folder, keeping the process fast and secure.

With no configuration needed, Insta Media Downloader provides a user-friendly experience. Right-clicking the single-download button offers additional options like opening media in new tabs or saving to custom locations. This extension ensures smooth, easy media downloads, enhancing your Instagram experience without hassle.

User Reviews

Users describe Insta Media Downloader as useful and easy to use for downloading Instagram media (photos and videos). When it works, it’s fast and highly valued, with reports of it being fixed and back online after issues. However, reliability is inconsistent, especially for Stories and video downloads, the download button can fail or disappear, and Instagram can slow down or become unusable. Ongoing updates are needed to keep up with Instagram and Firefox changes, and compatibility varies across setups.

Not working with stories in a long LONG long time. Also some weird glitch where in a batch post with many pictures, it keeps downloading only the first picture of the post no matter how many times you try/click to download other pictures in the post

2026-06-29: It's no longer working with videos. - I've been using this add-on for years and it works great but recently it stopped working with videos/reels whether it's in post or stories.

This was the longest standing, but eventually story video download broke.

Is Insta Media Downloader Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Insta Media Downloader requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
