How To Repost On Instagram

If you want to repost someone’s content, you can use a free app called Repost for Instagram.

This app will allow you to repost any photo or video without having to download it from Instagram. It includes single images, carousel, video, IGTV, and reels.

To repost on Instagram using the app, follow the instructions:

  1. Chose the post you want to repost and tap on the post options;
  2. Copy link;
  3. Open Repost for Instagram;
  4. You will see the post In your list;
  5. Select this post and choose the repost tag style;
  6. Hit Repost to launch your Instagram app;
  7. Chose if you want to repost to your story or feed;
  8. Publish your Repost.

Choosing Instagram Private Viewer

If you are looking for an Instagram private viewer, you can use another free online tool like insta-stories.online.

This simple Instagram profile viewer will show you the feed and stories of any public Instagram profile. While keeping you anonymous.

You can use this tool as an Instagram downloader too. And download any photo or video from any public Instagram account.

How To Download All Your Content From Instagram

If you ever decide to leave Instagram. Or, if you are concerned about the safety of your account, you can always download all your Instagram content for peace of mind.

  1. Open your Instagram profile;
  2. Go to Settings;
  3. Select Security;
  4. Tap on Download data;
  5. Provide your email;
  6. Hit Request Download;
  7. Enter your Instagram password;
  8. Chose Next;
  9. Hit Done to finish and exit the process.

It may take up to 48 hours for Instagram to process your request. And send you an email with your files and data. In my case, it took just under an hour.

If you do not see the email after 48 hours, check it in your spam folder.

If you still don’t see the email, chances are you specified the wrong email address. Just repeat the process following the above steps.

When the email arrives, you have 4 hours to download your content before your download expires.

Play Fair

When you download a video or photo from someone else’s Instagram account, make sure you do not violate any copyrights or trademarks.

Please also make sure you are not creating any precedent for personalization or confusion about the origin of the content you download for use.

If you use someone else’s content in your work, it’s always a good idea to ask the owner first. Or at least credit the owner in the post caption.

Finally, please note that the tools mentioned in this guide are not official Instagram apps. Although I used them for years, and they work fine.

Can I Download A Post From A Private Instagram User?

At this moment, you can download a video or photo only from public Instagram accounts.

I would not recommend downloading content from private users. Who show their content only to the followers they manually approve.

Instagram is very strict with letting apps pull private data. Therefore I decided not to include any Instagram downloader for private accounts in this guide.

But if you’re still looking for a way to download a video or photo from private Instagram accounts, you should be aware that all of the online tools that claim they can help you are either scams or highly unstable.

Conclusions And Next Steps

Now you know how to download a video, photo, reels, or story from Instagram.

If you use the content you download to inspire your own feed or stories, make sure to check our other guides that will help you get your Instagram juice flowing. And amplify your influence.
