How to Save Instagram Photos post image

Instagram is all about sharing your pictures, videos, stories, and reels. Instead of posts and statuses like on other social media sites, you’ll find an Instagram news feed full of catchy captions under some praise-worthy photo or video.

While liking the photos of cute puppies and serene sunsets, for once, you would have wanted to set them as your phone’s wallpaper. Or maybe you’d want to hone your Instagram photo skills.

But how can downloading someone’s photo boost my Instagram, you may ask. Well, you can save the images, analyze them, learn the tricks, and create similar photographs. That’ll help improve your content. Remember that getting more followers on Instagram is all about quality content, especially photos.

But the app ensures users’ privacy to the maximum extent. You won’t see any save or download option with any users’ posts because of Instagram’s copyright rules. But, there should not be an issue if you are not using someone’s own pictures or taking user consent before saving their Instagram photos.

Saving Instagram posts to your profile is a no-brainer – a single-step task. Simply tap the bookmark icon at the bottom to save a post on your profile. Having said that, downloading IG photos to your camera roll could be a little tricky as the social media app doesn’t have a direct option to save or download any content to your iOS or Android mobile device or desktop browser.

The good news is that there are ways to go around Instagram’s photo-saving restrictions. To make it simple, we’ve broken down the entire process into a few simple steps. Be ready to have your gallery filled with pictures or inspirational quotes images that you see on Instagram.
