User reviews
Users appreciate Instant Save for Instagram and Flickr for its straightforward ability to download images via right-click and mostly reliable functionality. However, many report frequent failures—especially with videos and at times images saving in lower resolution than expected. The extension sometimes stops working entirely and requires restarting Chrome. Users desire features like video downloads and simpler one-click buttons for downloads. Despite issues, it remains one of the best available tools for saving Instagram and Flickr photos, with responsive developer support.
