InstBackup — Backup for Instagram

Privacy-first personal backup for the Instagram data you can access from your own account. Everything stays on your device.

Your Instagram, archived. Private. Forever. InstBackup turns the data you can already see in your own Instagram account into a beautiful, searchable personal archive — stored entirely on your computer. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Ever. WHAT IT BACKS UP • Posts, reels and carousels you posted — with captions, hashtags and stats • Stories and highlights available to you • Saved posts and posts you're tagged in • Your followers and following lists • Comments on your posts • Direct message conversations you can access, including shared media • Your profile details A REAL BACKUP ENGINE • Full, incremental or selective backups — you choose what to capture • Resumes interrupted runs right where they stopped • Duplicate detection so re-runs never bloat your archive • Honest reporting: see exactly what was saved, skipped or needs a retry • Verification and integrity checks for peace of mind • One-click retry for anything a run couldn't fetch A BEAUTIFUL ARCHIVE WORKSPACE • Dashboard overview of everything you've protected • Media library with grid, list and timeline views, search and filters • Full-screen viewer with zoom, slideshow and keyboard shortcuts • Browse and search your followers and following • Read archived conversations in a clean messages view • Collections, tags, favorites and notes to organize it all • Gorgeous light and dark themes EXPORT ANYTHING, ANY TIME • Followers, following, comments, messages, content, profile — each exportable on its own as CSV or JSON • One-click complete archive: all media in organized folders plus a portable index — a ZIP that's yours to keep • Import your index back any time. Your archive is never locked in. PRIVACY IS THE ENTIRE POINT • 100% of your data stays in your browser's local storage on your device • The extension talks only to Instagram and its media CDN (cdninstagram.com / fbcdn.net) — the same hosts your browser already uses — inside your own session • It never sees, asks for or stores your password • No analytics, no telemetry, no external servers, no exceptions • Remove everything instantly from Settings HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in to instagram.com as usual (the extension never handles your login) 2. Open the InstBackup workspace and connect your account 3. Pick what to back up and press Start — then browse, search and export InstBackup archives the content that is visible to your own signed-in account. It does not bypass authentication, private-account restrictions or any other access control, and it does not collect data about other users beyond what your account can already see. Please respect the rights of people whose content appears in your archive and use your backup for personal purposes. InstBackup is an independent project by GrabFlow.
