Instant Save for Instagram and Flickr
Extension Actions
- Extension status: Featured

This extension allows saving of any Instagram or Flickr image via a single click on the context menu.
This extension is the only way to immediately save any image from Instagram or Flickr with a single right-click context menu click!
Images from the main feed, a post or photo's page, or a user's overview or favorites page will save directly to your browser's default download location when you click on the option this extension adds to the right-click context menu.
Version 1.0 added support for saving from the Timeline and Post Instagram pages
Version 1.1 added support for saving from the user overview page
Version 1.2 added support for higher quality, un-cropped images
Version 1.3 fixed the plugin for Instagram's updated page layout model
Version 1.4-5 updated name and logos in response to trademark complaint from Instagram
Version 1.6 fixed handling for new types of videos
Version 1.7 IG changed their app, and I can no longer modify the URL to get the un-cropped version, so this update gets the version currently loaded on your screen (if you click on a picture from a timeline to see it large, it'll grab the full version). I'm looking into a solution, but none are obvious.
Version 1.8 Chrome v65 changed the behavior of <a> downloads in a way that broke this (opening images in a new tab rather than downloading them) - the download logic has been modified so that things work properly again. As an added bonus, the source user's name is now prefixed onto the file name.
Version 1.9 changed the download logic because of another Chrome update that broke the previous download type
Version 2.0 added the ability to download from Flickr
Version 2.1 fixed an odd bug
Version 2.2 updated the IG save logic for videos due to updated website structure
Version 2.3 fixed a bug downloading videos with no comments
Version 2.4 fixed a user-reported issue where file extensions had characters appended to them
Version 2.5 added a "Labs" menu item off the main icon with in-development features
- SaveStorm: When checked, any single click on IG or Flickr is interpreted as a download request. Works properly, but needs to be only enabled for short periods.
- DL All Flickr: saves all open Flickr single-image tabs at one go. Still buggy when pulling large numbers down.
Version 2.6 makes the Ctrl+Click (open in new tab) block that IG put in place work properly again
Version 2.7 fixed an issue where videos downloaded from IG would have characters after the file extension
Version 2.8 fixed an issue where clicking within a tag on the image would prevent the download from working
Version 2.9 added the ability to download full-resolution photos or videos from Instagram Stories by left-clicking on the application icon in the top bar during playback
Version 2.10 fixed video downloads
Version 2.11 Added the ability to download IG TV posts
Version 2.12 Updated the logic used to retrieve the username for the file prefix based on updates to IG's page structure
Version 2.13 Updated the username retrieval logic when the page structure changed again

- Good job. Better if I can set the download directory.
- Barra Darcy
- Don't know why people are saying this doesn't work anymore; I just set it up and it works right away (no need for any tinkering like other extensions). Absolutly wonderful!
- Sun Zhi (Gee)
- Works well for me! Was doubtful when I saw older reviews saying that it's not working anymore. I still tried it and luckily, I was able to download a bunch of Instagram photos (May 20, 2025)

- App is not working anymore. When you right-click on the IG image and click the 'save instagram image' button, nothing happens.
- Kate Ronquillo
- Had been looking for an extension that lets me download images on IG with just a right-click. This works perfect.

- Used to work great, but now seems to download flickr images in low res instead of full res. Not sure what changed, but it doesn't work properly anymore.

- Essa extensão é excelente já uso há bastante tempo e é a unica que salva sempre na maior resolução e hoje parou de fazer isso, está salvando somente em uma resolução mediana, pode verificar. Esse problema está acontecendo no flickr.

- Works well for flickr, my only complaint is that if you are saving images on the accounts photostrem, it saves it as the size of the photostream image and not the full size. Also, for some reason it saves images as Jfif files. Not sure why there isnt a place to change the file type. PNG or just jpg would be preferred.

- Works great except for the fact that it does NOT download the pictures in high quality. The file sizes and image size is much smaller than the original. Everything else about it is good but I want to save things in high resolution!!
- Леопольд Аркадьевич
- Still saving same photo in photostream, need to press F5 every time. But there is nothing better then this addon on a chrome store.

- Works beautifully. It would be even better if there was no need to right click, open the context menu and only then choose download IG image. Just have a button on the image that I can left click and download seamlessly, like other extensions.

- It just plain works! As of today, this is the only convenient and functional downloader I could find that didn't get the account I was logged into blocked by Instagram even though I downloaded nearly 400 images over the span of an hour while browsing.

- Hello, giving a bit more detail to the last user who mentioned the lower quality vids, so I made some screenshots. The First is a test vid, from a Nat Geo IG Story that's posted only 5 hours ago, you can also see the video res. The correct res is 1280x720 for all IG Stories normally, so something is going wrong when pulling the vid. https://i.imgur.com/jiH1kcm.jpg per Story Saver.net, if I post the direct link to the story https://www.instagram.com/stories/natgeo/2852695530377605542/ into the website, it pulls up all the storys, and the raw filename for this story is shown in the next Screenshot https://i.imgur.com/qhvHaIS.jpg Also, the Resolution is shown as 1280x720 for the raw file, so I'm not sure if it's relation to the extension's naming system or that can be kept. All in all, you have the best app out there, and have been a very responsive dev, so hopefull this can be worked out.
