Instagram Profile Downloader

This Tampermonkey script allows for downloading Instagram profiles (feed posts and videos only for now).

✔ Tested on Chrome and Firefox

Installation

1. Install the Tampermonkey browser extension: Chrome Firefox Brave
2. Important: Under the tampermonkey settings, set the Config mode to Advanced and enable the Browser API in Download Mode (BETA).
3. Copy the contents of https://github.com/backwards221/InstagramProfileDownloader/raw/main/dist/build.user.js
4. Create a new Tampermonkey script and paste the contents you copied in step 3 (dist/build.user.js).
5. Save the script (Ctrl+S).
6. Visit any profile to verify the installation (Download button should appear next to the Follow or Following button).

Output

Each profile can contain the following directories based on its contents:

• Images - All images are written to this directory.
• Videos - All videos are written to this directory.

Chrome

For Chromium based browsers, the files are not zipped and written directly to Instagram folder.

Example: The profile itskaslol will be downloaded to:

Default Browser Download Folder/Instagram/itskaslol

Firefox

For some reason, Firefox doesn't allow writing to custom directories so the profile is zipped.

Example: The profile itskaslol will be downloaded to:

Default Browser Download Folder/itskaslol.zip

Updates

The script should automatically update from GitHub. If it doesn't, simply repeat the steps 3-6 from the installation section.

Limitations

When navigating to a different profile, the download button does not appear. Simply refresh the page and the download button should appear. This will be addressed soon.
