Temporarily unavailable
Highlights are temporarily unavailable. Please check back later. Profiles, posts and reels still work.
Private accounts
A private Instagram account can only be seen by people its owner approved. PostsViewer never asks for Instagram passwords, cookies or logins and cannot show private posts, reels, stories or highlights. You can check whether an account is private:
What is supported for private accounts
| Tool | What You Can Do | Login / Authorization Needed? | Accounts Supported | Status |

| Private Profile Picture | Not verified for private accounts. Use the Public account tab for accounts that show their photo publicly. | No login | Public accounts | Not Available |

Why not more? Our data provider supports public accounts only. Instagram's own login route for apps works only for the owner of a Business or Creator account, and needs an app approved by Meta. We will not use shortcuts such as cookies, stolen sessions or password collection.
How to use the Instagram Highlights Downloader
- 1
Type the username of a public account.
- 2
Press “Show highlights” and tap an album.
- 3
Press the save button under any item.
What you get
- All highlight albums of the account
- Photos and videos in the original order
- Files named with the username and date
Good to know
- Only public accounts work. Private accounts can't be shown.
- Save content for personal use only and respect the creator's rights.
- If the account has no highlights, we tell you.
Keeping a highlight album
Highlights are the stories an owner chose to keep. Search a username, open an album, and each photo or video inside has a save button. It is a handy way to keep a price list, a menu, a recipe series or a travel guide before it is changed or removed.
To look at the albums first without saving anything, use the Instagram Highlights Viewer. The Instagram Story Downloader covers stories that are live right now (both are temporarily unavailable). If you are not sure what an account has, open it in the Instagram Profile Viewer.
Only public highlights can be saved, and only for personal use. Please read our editorial policy to see how we describe what each tool can and cannot do.
Before you download
- Open one album at a time. Large albums can contain many files.
- Photos save as images, videos as MP4.
- If the page says this feature isn't enabled on this site yet, it needs a service plan we have not enabled. It will not show invented results.
- Always credit the creator if you share what you learned from their highlights.
