Download Instagram carousel — free online tool

Get every slide of a public Instagram carousel in one ZIP of up to 20 photos and clips, with the item count shown before you download.

What to know

Carousels are the one Instagram format that always ends in an archive. When the preview detects more than one slide it prints the number, for example 7 items, and Original quality delivers a ZIP holding every photo and clip in order.

The size rules are stricter here than for a single file. With the default 750 MB budget the service keeps room for both the downloaded slides and the archive being written, which leaves roughly 18 MB per slide. A carousel of photos fits easily; a carousel with several long clips can hit the source-too-large message.

Slides keep their own formats, so a mixed carousel produces JPG images next to MP4 videos inside the same ZIP. Nothing is re-encoded when you keep Original quality, so the archive holds each slide as Instagram stores it.

Carousels are often product photos, recipe steps or event albums made by a single creator, and the whole set is protected as a body of work. Taking one slide for a reference is different from lifting all ten for your own feed, and brands usually want to be asked before their carousel is reposted.

  1. Open the carousel and copy its link; it must be a /p/ address such as https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx1AbCdEfGh/.
  2. Wait for the preview and read the item count shown next to the image size, for instance 7 items.
  3. Leave Original quality selected, because that row returns every slide untouched.
  4. Tick the rights box, press Prepare selected file, and save the .zip once it shows the number of media files inside.

Quick answers

Why did my carousel show only one file in the preview?

The service reports an item count only when it can read more than one slide from the public page. If you see a single image, check that the link is the /p/ post and not a story or Reel.

What is the per-slide size limit inside the ZIP?

With the default job budget it is about 18 MB per slide, because the budget is shared between the source files and the archive. Heavy video slides are the usual cause of a size error.

Can I pick only some slides of the carousel?

No, the ZIP contains every slide. Open the archive afterwards and keep the ones you have the right to use.
