Description

Image Downloader for IW is a lite addon that lets you easily download desired images from the Instagram website. Simply add the add-on to your browser and open the Instagram page. Once the add-on is active (the toolbar icon is dark grey) you will see a download icon next to any image (on the top left corner side). Please click on the icon to download the image to your machine. Please note that the download location is the default location for download in your browser. This add-on tries to capture and download the highest-resolution image to your machine. To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/image-downloader-for-instagram.html).

As of yesterday when you click the download button, absolutely nothing happens. Developer completely killed their app yesterday. Back to the drawing board.

* Doesn't download full-resolution images until I open them. This is not readily apparent and can be very annoying. * The names of the downloaded files are just a bunch of random numbers. Useless for sorting, grouping or archiving. Some attempt should have been made to put the IG username in the downloaded files' names. As it is, utterly useless and a BIG ZERO.

Instagram changed its code, and Image Downloader for IW didn't follow. It is broken since January 2022. Useless. Previously (2019), I've said: It does save the image you have on your screen. But that might not be the highest available resolution, unfortunately. It works beautifully when you first click on the thumbnail of the image you want to save! Thanks a lot for it!

It downloads the lowest resolution version! Utter garbage!

Downloads only 1 image from the stack, gives it a weird name "[image] - randon number", and does not remember last download location. As stated, it will not grab any videos, but it does get the video's preview image if visible in the feed. So it's somewhat useful but also weirdly awkward. Looking at the extension code, [image] is just set in stone, and the number is randomized! You could save the same image repeatedly and never know it. Why couldn't the Dev use the filename from Instagram? It does not make sense even for a first-time app, unless maybe they didn't write the code? The extension works, it's just weird. if (url) { const ext = config.find(url); const name = (Math.random() * 1e7).toFixed(0); background.send("download", { "url": url, "filename": "[image] - " + name + '.' + ext }); }

I loved this extension but it's not working properly anymore. Maybe it was an update to the extension, chrome, or instagram website? Now when I access instagram website with the extension enabled, the formatting is very weird (the whole site is left aligned). Stories don't work at all - when I try to open a story it just shows a blank white page.

It downloads, just not the largest format available. It only downloads the displayed version of the picture, but in the HTML code there are the larger versions. 3 stars for now until it's fixed!
