Welcome to SaveInsta.me

The new best way to save media from Instagram without a hustle

Instagram doesn’t allow their users to download a picture or video from their site directly. To achieve this users must use a 3rd party software.

The problem with this is that there is a lot sites to choose from. Most of which is slow, filled with irritating ads, or doesn’t work at all!

Sounds scary right? Makes you want to quit IG at all!

Now you don’t need to get rid of your favorite social media app just yet! Just read and learn how to make the most of IG possible

What makes SaveInsta.me the best

  • Great intuitive design!
    • Download files faster with an app that understands your thinking.
    • Working doesn’t have to be dull… SaveInsta is pleasant to look at!
  • Born to be fast!
    • From the begining the idea was to make Saveinsta as fast as possible and then enhance it to be even better.
  • It’s a fully working PWA!
    • Yep. That’s right. And it means that you can save it to your local device just as if it was a native app!

If you’d like to know how the app works please read the docs below.

  1. First the user has to copy a link directly from Instagram (it’s important to keep the https prefix).
  2. After hitting the download button, the app check if the link is correct.
  3. Then it downloads the html file (a site that user pasted) on client side and matches it against a regular expression.
  4. When the direct download link is found it is send to ExpressJs and downloaded right on the server.
  5. Later a user is prompted with a download and the file is safely deleted from the server.
