Instagram Image Opener

An extension to open Instagram images in large view and download them easily.

Instagram Image Opener adds three action buttons directly onto every Instagram post — view large, download, and copy to clipboard — so you never have to leave the feed or open a new tab just to save a photo. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔎 View Full-Size Open any Instagram photo in a full-screen overlay. Click anywhere outside to dismiss — clean and instant. 💾 Download Photos Save the original-resolution image with one click. The file is automatically named after the post's author (e.g. "johndoe_1718800000000.jpg"), so your downloads stay organized. 📋 Copy to Clipboard Copy the photo directly to your clipboard as a PNG, ready to paste into any app — no saving to disk required. 🎬 Download Reels & Videos Download any reel or video at the highest available resolution. The extension resolves the direct CDN URL via Instagram's own internal API, so you always get the best quality. 🖼️ View & Download Video Covers For reels and playing videos, you can also view or download the cover thumbnail separately. 🖱️ Right-Click Context Menu Right-click any Instagram image to get a "Save Instagram Image As…" option via the browser's native context menu. 🎚️ Adjustable Button Size Open the extension popup to resize the action buttons anywhere between 24 px and 64 px. A live preview shows exactly how they'll look on a post before you apply the setting. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Once installed, visit instagram.com. Action buttons appear at the bottom of every photo and reel as you scroll. No setup needed. The buttons update automatically as new posts load, including infinite-scroll content. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PERMISSIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • instagram.com — required to inject the action buttons on the site. • downloads — required to save photos and videos to your device. • storage — required to remember your button size preference across sessions. • contextMenus — required to add the right-click "Save As" option. No data is collected, sent, or stored outside your own browser. The extension is entirely client-side. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NOTES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • You must be logged into Instagram for video/reel downloads to work, as the extension uses your existing session to resolve the media URL. • The extension only activates on instagram.com — it has no effect on any other website.
