An Instagram bulk downloader is a tool that lets you download multiple Instagram posts at once — instead of saving them one-by-one. With SnapDown, you get three powerful modes to cover every use case:
How to Bulk Download Instagram Posts (Step-by-Step)
Choose Your Download Mode
Go to the Instagram Bulk Downloader page. You'll see three tabs: Profile Download (download posts by username), Carousel ZIP (download all carousel slides), and Multi-Link (paste multiple post URLs).
Enter Username or Paste Links
For Profile Download, type the public Instagram username (e.g. @natgeo). Choose how many posts you want: 10, 20, or 50. For Carousel ZIP, paste the Instagram post URL. For Multi-Link, paste up to 20 post URLs.
Download Your ZIP File
Hit the "Download as ZIP" button. SnapDown's servers will fetch all the media, package it into a single ZIP archive, and start the download automatically. Photos are saved as JPG, videos as MP4 — all numbered and organized.
