The layout of Instagram.com is not optimized for the desktop. This extension improves this.
The default Instagram.com layout is not optimized for the desktop. This extension improves the design.
It also lets you view your saved ("Collections") and liked images on the web. To view them, click the 3-dots menu on the top right.
Next, as Instagram is optimized for phones, they never load the highest quality and prevent the right click download of images.
This extension changes that.
My extension does not collect any private data and your images are only stored on your PC.
Also, the code is Open-Source for you to check/contribute: https://github.com/kurtextrem/Layoutify-for-Instagram
Privacy Policy: https://kurtextrem.de/chrome/PRIVACY.html (Sensitive data is only collected and stored on your own PC, options are synced if Chrome Sync is turned on)
Permissions: "*.instagram.com/*"; means that it only has access to Instagram APIs and the Instagram web. *://*.fbcdn.net/*, *://*.cdninstagram.com/*: Needed to display images/videos on the 3-dots page.

v3.6.0: DMs now have dark mode support; Modals with images/videos now appear larger (thanks Dominic for the suggestion)
v3.4.0: Adds a new permission, as Instagram added a mechanism to prevent images/videos from loading on the 3-dots page
v3.3.3.7: Tagged users now show up again. Also, this release fixes the "watch" functionality. Really sorry for that!!
v3.3.3.6: Fixes the repeated likes on the 3-dot page (click the "Clear" button on "About" to fix it)
!!! This version needs new permissions, as Instagram now prevents other pages from displaying images - which the 3-dots page does (fbcdn.net) !!!
v3.3.3: Fixes clicking on stories in the feed and speeds the loading a bit up.
v3.3.2: Added "System Night Mode" option. Turned on by default. When turned on, the night mode automatically activates when your Operating System is in Night/Dark Mode.

v2.8.0: You can now see Collection folders. However, it is in a beta test at the moment. So you see an ID instead of the collection name.

v2.5.4: You can download videos in stories now

- (2022-09-23) Davi Bartav: Possibilita acessar as COLEÇÕES de itens SALVOS e os POSTS que você deu LIKE. Mas, NÃO é possível SELECIONAR nem reorganizar os POSTS SALVOS nas COLEÇÕES. Também NÃO dá para visualizar o FEED nem acessar DM.
- (2022-09-20) Mercury Lampe: totally broken layout
- (2022-09-10) Shyam Shah: amazing extension, , sometimes it does not work, but when it does its a charm . thank you
- (2022-09-07) rcbbr: all i see is a white screen, had to download again so i can rate it 1 star
- (2022-08-29) Shawn Herrin: Throws everything off to the right side and makes IG 100% unusable. Don't waste the install.
- (2022-08-28) Lyon Chen: The layout is broken.
- (2022-08-22) Tom Martin: Works OK for me except that if you left click to enlarge an image and then return to the feed, it puts you at the top rather than at the clicked image. This used to work fine so it's apparently due to an IG change.
- (2022-08-21) Cristi M: Doesn't really work properly, makes a mess of your Instagram homepage. It seems that it needs updating.
- (2022-08-11) H “Heist”: Doesn't work at all for me. Won't show the main feed leaving it blank and the sidebar doesn't work properly. What an absolute mess!
- (2022-08-03) Scott Ever: It was great.......until recently, when it stopped displaying my liked pics (on the 3 dot button). This is while I'm using the Chrome extension in Opera Is it a bug? In Chrome, it seems to have broken in a different way. The main page seems almost superimposed in front of the rest of the page and I can't access the likes button (or any other button)
- (2022-07-06) Katie Willems: - the sidebar is really janky. - for some reason it shows a selection of posts at the top of the page without being able to see any multiple images in those posts, and then repeats those posts under a line of stories, now being able to see the multiple images. - you can't scroll on the stories on the main page to see the ones hidden. also, clicking on stories on that section just results in a broken link page pop-up. It almost delivers, it just really needs ironing out. not usable in its state.
- (2022-06-10) Knight of Eleum Loyce: Now it doesn't work. Single ig posts take up the entire webpage and i can't get to that button that lets me view my likes. What the hell happened?
- (2022-06-02) A type: It was the best extension program before the recent Instagram update. It doesn't work anymore from today. The extension needs to be updated.
- (2022-06-02) David Allen: used to be 5-star-amazing but now doesn't function, almost at all (1-star-bad), averaged to 3 :) desperately needs updating
- (2022-06-02) João Pedro: Its broken, sadly.
- (2022-06-01) Lytha Fraggle: Completely broken since latest updates
- (2022-03-21) Ekrem: seems outdated but good when i first downloaded liked and saved posts was working well but now i cant make it work
- (2022-03-14) Naga: I can now see posts each 3rows and post I've liked. And I can now save images with a right click.
- (2022-03-14) JustforEu: this extension has so many issues and the devs aren't even fixing it, this is very irritating. not recommend download this extension
- (2022-02-09) Mary Dorra: a BIG thing that's missing is being able to send your liked posts. that's what i'm really looking for
- (2021-12-20) Rafaela Santos: I like the extension, the one thing that i would change is the way that you put the storys, instead of being in a row, be in a column. then it will be perfect. please consider that
- (2021-12-07) Jeremy Tso: 經常發生錯誤
- (2021-11-09) Richard: this extension is a gem
- (2021-10-07) M. Mustafa Murat: Settings are not working at all. Nothing is changing.
- (2021-10-04) babab bab: Stop CRASHING my browser dude!
- (2021-10-02) Anoir Ben Tanfous: This extension will cause your account to be deactivated unfortunately since it is doing something in the background apparently that infringe Instagram policy...
- (2021-09-29) Martin VanBuren: I want to give the extension five stars, but it's not there yet. Scrolling is buggy. I see the same posts repeatedly which, unfortunately, makes it unusable. It's a very promising extension and hope its development continues.
- (2021-09-29) iiFiRe: this extension got my account deleted. got flagged twice(verify by sms) before the ban for most likely looking like a bot (loading too much stuff) and then Instagram reviewed my account and deleted it. I used this extension for a long time then Instagram updated their bot detection and they hate this extension now. after I got flagged the first time I disabled the extension for a while. made the mistake to re-enable it thinking something has changed and after a short time got flagged again. DO NOT USE THIS EXTENSION IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT
- (2021-09-22) John Winslow: Apologies. I recently wrote a review accusing this app of hijackings your account and liking random Instagram posts. It turns out it was Nano Defender. This extension is great. Many thanks to the developers who keep it up and running.

- (2021-09-21) John Winslow: THIS EXTENSION HIJACKS YOUR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT AND LIKES RANDOM POSTS. I was wondering why my account kept getting disabled after installing this extension. Then I looked at my like history...hundreds of likes to random Instagram posts a day! No wonder my recommendations are so screwed up. No other device has my account logged in, so it's doing all the work through this extension (change your password either way though). Report this extension and uninstall it immediately.
- (2021-08-31) Steffan Cushion: Amazing amazing addon, however this quite literally got my account disabled, I assume it was sending too many requests to the IG servers or something idk :/
- (2021-08-23) Faysal Ahmed: That is so useful thanks
- (2021-07-26) Viktor F: "Try again later, we restrict certain activity to protect our community. Based on your use, this action will be unavailable for you until 2021-07-27. Tell us if you think we made a mistake." Getting this literally 5 minutes after using this extension. Ive gotten this like 10 times already within the span of a month. I dont even have to like or follow people, i can just open instagram and watch a couple of stories and i get blocked for a day. This extension is unusable
- (2021-07-23) Sam LOL: I do like the options this gives but for some reason I keep getting disabled by instagram, which locks me out of my account for a day. I don't know why and I feel like it's this extension doing it
- (2021-07-12) João Carlos: Cumpre o que promete. Mas senti falta de uma opção de desabilitar fácil ou voltar para o modo tradicional.
