Reviews & Comments of Instant Save for Instagram and Flickr chrome extension

anyone facing problems with this app? out of sudden frequent log out if use this app

Overall good. But there should be a shortcut.

Used to work great, but now seems to download flickr images in low res instead of full res. Not sure what changed, but it doesn't work properly anymore.

Actually does what it says on the tin :)

For me extension stop working as always used to be. From Flickr downloads come only in Large 1024. Noticed this like 2-3 weeks ago. Keep trying once in a while after, but getting the same low resolutios.

Works well for flickr, my only complaint is that if you are saving images on the accounts photostrem, it saves it as the size of the photostream image and not the full size. Also, for some reason it saves images as Jfif files. Not sure why there isnt a place to change the file type. PNG or just jpg would be preferred.

Works great except for the fact that it does NOT download the pictures in high quality. The file sizes and image size is much smaller than the original. Everything else about it is good but I want to save things in high resolution!!

Works beautifully. It would be even better if there was no need to right click, open the context menu and only then choose download IG image. Just have a button on the image that I can left click and download seamlessly, like other extensions.

Works great! Thank you!

Working for inst. images, but please add video download!

It just plain works! As of today, this is the only convenient and functional downloader I could find that didn't get the account I was logged into blocked by Instagram even though I downloaded nearly 400 images over the span of an hour while browsing.

Hello, giving a bit more detail to the last user who mentioned the lower quality vids, so I made some screenshots. The First is a test vid, from a Nat Geo IG Story that's posted only 5 hours ago, you can also see the video res. The correct res is 1280x720 for all IG Stories normally, so something is going wrong when pulling the vid. https://i.imgur.com/jiH1kcm.jpg per Story Saver.net, if I post the direct link to the story https://www.instagram.com/stories/natgeo/2852695530377605542/ into the website, it pulls up all the storys, and the raw filename for this story is shown in the next Screenshot https://i.imgur.com/qhvHaIS.jpg Also, the Resolution is shown as 1280x720 for the raw file, so I'm not sure if it's relation to the extension's naming system or that can be kept. All in all, you have the best app out there, and have been a very responsive dev, so hopefull this can be worked out.

Still works

Perfect for images. Really like that it remembers the last folder that you saved images to so you don't have to keep re-navigating. My only complaint is videos don't download in highest quality. When I open them and compare them to the original, they are extremely pixelated and distorted. Wish there was a way to download highest quality.

It just plain does not work. I right-click the image, select Save Flickr Image, and nothing happens.

Nothing happens when I right-click save instagram image. I don't think it works anymore.

Works as expected

its not working, i kept on clicking "save instagram image" but nothing happened!

So great to see addon that works and have constant updates to tackle instagram change in code. great work from author. Wish you could download videos on instagram. i don't know if it supposed to but if so the video download feature don't work not from the main page of the user and not inside the posts themselfs (posts with videos and pictures combined or just multiple videos at one post) stories will be a great feature also but may be i'm asking for too much. good work from the creator!!! keep it up

It works perfectly! I used it to download my own Instagram photo!

The issue of missing username in save option has started recurring again. Please fix it.

this extension didn't work, on Flickr i right clicked an image then i clicked the option that said "save Flickr image" but it didn't do anything Edit: it works now I found a way to make it work I wasn't patient enough it works perfectly

It's still working as of March 2021, however: 1) Images downloaded is smaller than the original. I know this from comparing images downloaded form a 3rd party app. Slightly smaller but it's a little annoying. Can there be a fix where you (Dan) pick up the url for the original dimension/size? 2) You cannot download video. I kept getting either the .jpg thumbnail or .htm. Is there a fix for this? I've tried it from my main page and even going to the user's direct site. Thank you. EDIT: 1) Maximum height for instagram images that can be downloaded seems to be 1350. With another 3rd party app, I can download the same image with a height of 1700. 2) Some videos can be downloaded, but some cannot such as this one (if you can see the url): https://www.instagram.com/p/CMt4SUFLvMV/

works perfectly great ! no issues and stuff

Thank you for this! I've been desperately searching for an extension which makes saving individual images, even within multi-image sets, easy. I do kind of wish it used a download button instead of right click, but that one extra click is nothing compared to the cumbersome nature of other extensions for Instagram downloading. Very useful, and functions well.

Was fine for a long time, but started hijacking search results on top hits, sending me to all kinds of shady ad servers that Peter Lowe's blocker would halt. Other weird redirects, for example, would be any time I head to Asus' website, it would redirect me to the Russian subdomain. Functionality is great when it's doing its job, but it has no business hijacking other websites. EDIT: Apologies to Dan. It seems something else had hijacked his extension. Completely removing it and then re-adding it removed all the redirect issues I was getting. Rating adjusted.

The downloaded file has 47 characters + the user profile name. Can this be made shorter or provide the option to create our own file name before it is saved?

Just downloads *.htm photos

Excellent. The only thing I'd change is that the saved photo is invariably the one of the original link by which the Flickr album was accessed. When you scroll through an album and find a better photo, you have to re-enter the album through that one to be able do download it. At least with me. But otherwise excellent.

Why have you taken out the user profile name in save option? Please re-add it.

OMG this had changed my life and given me back so much more time!!!!! Now if it would just provide the same service for saving images from HOUZZ !!

Nothing is happening after I right click the image to save it...Although I enabled it through the advanced features AND the Options...

It doesn't work.

I was trying it for Flickr and surely it has potential: Immediately save from thumbnail, but not the largest size. When SaveStrm is on, it save also a smaller and large file from the sing image page, so you need to delete what you don't need, which is waste of time. Also, it doesn't save in original flickr filename (numbers), but instead gives title author gave or undefined if there is non or when saving from the All sizes page. If saving from view all sizes, some jpg is downloaded, but it is just an empty screen. Save from all tabs is also working, but without selecting which tabs to save (left or right, for example), it is useful, as you always have at least one tab open from which you don't want to save. Obviously a lot of potential, but there are just too much flaws and impreciseness that I cant use it...

Works perfectly

its not saving the image

It's a great add-on! It would be awesome if it also trimmed the white margins of the downloaded images. Still better than screen capturing though.

cool

one click save is great but needs to be disabled for albums so you can view the whole thing without downloading the images

cannot download video
