Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum resolution of downloaded photos?

Instagram caps image uploads at 1080 pixels in width. Depending on the post orientation, the image resolution will be up to 1080x1080 (square), 1080x1350 (portrait), or 1080x566 (landscape). SnapVideo delivers the highest resolution available on Instagram.

How do I open a downloaded ZIP file on my phone?

On iPhone, open the Files app, tap the downloaded ZIP in your Downloads folder, and iOS will automatically extract it into a folder. On Android, tap the ZIP file in Files or My Files and select 'Extract'.

Can I download photos from a private Instagram account?

No. SnapVideo only works with publicly accessible Instagram posts. Photos from private accounts cannot be accessed or downloaded with this tool.

Does Instagram notify the creator when I download a photo?

No. Instagram does not notify creators when you download a public photo, and SnapVideo does not connect to your Instagram profile.

Is it legal to download photos from Instagram?

It depends on how you use them. Saving public photos for personal offline viewing or reference is generally low-risk, but copyright belongs to the original photographer or creator. Do not repost or use them commercially without permission.

Why are some carousel slides missing?

If a carousel contains a mix of images and videos, each item is shown in its respective format. If the creator has removed or restricted a particular slide, that specific item will not be available.
