How to save IG carousels in 4 simple steps
Follow the steps below. No account needed, no app to install — just a link and a click.
Step 1 — Open the carousel
- Find the multi-slide post on a public account. The dots under the image tell you how many slides it has.

- Drop the URL into the field on this page and press Download.
Step 4 — Save one or all
- Use each card's button for individual slides, or 'Download all' for the complete album.

IG link formats this page accepts

- instagram.com/p/ABC123/
- The carousel's permalink — the same from any slide.
- instagram.com/reel/ABC123/
- Accepted, though a reel is a single item rather than an album.
- instagram.com/share/…
- The wrapper the app's share sheet produces. Followed to the real post automatically.
- …?igsh=… and other tracking parameters
- Stripped before the lookup, so a link copied on a phone works exactly as pasted.

About the IG carousel downloader
A carousel can hold twenty slides, and the manual route means swiping to each one, screenshotting it, and then cropping twenty images. Photo dumps, tutorial threads and before-and-after sets are all built this way, and all of them are miserable to keep by hand.
One link gets the whole album. Every slide is enumerated in the order the creator arranged them, with photos returned as JPGs and videos as MP4s in the same result list — no need to handle the two kinds separately.
The IG carousel downloader is a browser-based tool that saves public Instagram carousels to your device as MP4 / JPG, with no account, no app and no Instagram login required. “IG” is simply how people abbreviate Instagram — the tool, the file and the result are the same either way.

Frequently asked questions
How many slides can an IG carousel hold?
Up to 20 items per post. All of them are listed here regardless of how the photos and videos are mixed, and regardless of which slide you were viewing when you copied the link.
Can I take just one slide?
Yes. Each slide has its own download button, so there is no need to take the album to get the third picture in it.
Do the slides keep their original order?
Yes. They are listed in the sequence the creator arranged, which matters for tutorials and step-by-step posts where the order is the content.
What is a carousel on IG?
A single post holding several swipeable slides — up to 20 — which can mix photos and videos. The dots under the post are the giveaway that there is more than one.
Does the IG carousel link change per slide?
No. The whole album shares one URL, so copying the link from any slide gives the same address and lists every slide.
Can I save an IG carousel on my phone?
Yes. Paste the post link in your mobile browser and each slide appears with its own button, plus the option to save them all in sequence.
