Insta Media Downloader is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to simplify downloading media from Instagram. It seamlessly integrates a download button onto every Instagram media post—including grids, articles, stories, reels, and IGTV—allowing users to download single items or entire sets with one click.

The extension adds intuitive download buttons on the bottom right corner of Instagram media. A single-arrow button downloads the current media, while a triple-arrow button downloads all media within the post. It operates directly within Instagram pages, avoiding external websites, and saves files directly to your downloads folder, keeping the process fast and secure.

With no configuration needed, Insta Media Downloader provides a user-friendly experience. Right-clicking the single-download button offers additional options like opening media in new tabs or saving to custom locations. This extension ensures smooth, easy media downloads, enhancing your Instagram experience without hassle.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Insta Media Downloader requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
