Downloading all Instagram posts at once is possible through two different routes depending on whose posts you want to save. For your own Instagram account, you can use Instagram’s official data export tool to download everything in one go.

From experience: A travel photographer I know who had been posting on Instagram for six years used the official data download to back up all 847 of her posts after her account was temporarily restricted during a security review. She had not kept the original files for many of her older posts, assuming Instagram would always have them. The data download gave her back full-resolution copies of every photo and video she had ever posted. She now runs the data export every three months as a routine backup, treating it as essential account insurance.

What Types of Instagram Content Can You Download
The Toolizo All in One Instagram Downloader handles every type of public Instagram feed content: single photo posts in full original resolution, video posts in HD quality without watermark, Instagram Reels in HD quality, IGTV long-form videos, and carousel posts where all slides are downloaded individually. Instagram Stories are handled by the dedicated Instagram Story Viewer tool at Toolizo rather than the all-in-one downloader. All downloaded files are stored locally on your device and remain available permanently regardless of what happens to the original Instagram post.
Can You Automate Bulk Downloading of Other Accounts’ Instagram Posts?
Automated bulk downloading of other Instagram accounts’ posts using scraping tools or bots violates Instagram’s Terms of Service and can result in account suspension or IP blocking. Instagram actively detects and blocks automated scraping activity. For research purposes, the practical approach is to download specific posts of interest individually using the Toolizo All in One Instagram Downloader rather than attempting bulk automated downloads of an entire account’s history. For your own content, the official Instagram data export handles bulk downloading within the platform’s Terms of Service.
Saving Instagram Posts vs Downloading Them Key Difference
Saving an Instagram post using the bookmark icon stores it in your Instagram Collections within the app the file is not on your device and disappears if the creator deletes the post or you lose account access. Downloading using the Toolizo All in One Instagram Downloader saves the actual photo or video file permanently to your device as a JPEG or MP4. The downloaded file stays on your device regardless of what happens on Instagram, can be used in other apps, shared through any messaging platform, and viewed offline without any internet connection or Instagram account.
From experience: A social media manager I know maintains Instagram content archives for three brand clients. Each month she downloads all the top-performing posts from each client’s Instagram account using the Toolizo All in One Instagram Downloader and stores them in dated client folders on a shared drive. This archive has been invaluable twice when clients wanted to repurpose their best-performing posts for other platforms and no longer had the original production files. The downloaded Instagram versions were high enough quality to use directly in the repurposed content without any additional processing.
How to Download Instagram Carousel Posts All Slides
When you paste a carousel post link into the Toolizo All in One Instagram Downloader, the tool automatically retrieves every slide in the carousel and displays them for individual download. Carousel posts can contain up to 20 images or video slides. Each slide is presented separately for download. For a carousel that mixes photo and video slides, the tool handles both types and downloads each in its appropriate format JPEG for image slides and MP4 for video slides.
