SquamifeR Media Downloader for Instagram by SquamifeR

Save the media you choose, directly from Instagram. SquamifeR adds download icons to posts, Reels and the current Story. Processing takes place in your browser.

FEATURES
• Photos and videos: save the best source available in the page or the selected item's metadata.
• Reels and Stories: download the currently displayed item when a usable image or video file is available.
• Carousels: choose the current item or media already loaded; incomplete collections are identified.
• Batch downloads and local ZIP archives: select up to 100 items, with a 256 MiB limit per ZIP.
• Video player: pause, resume, seek within available ranges and enter fullscreen. Choose always-visible controls or show them on hover.
• Profile grids: show or hide thumbnail icons while keeping controls on opened posts.
• Download queue: follow, cancel or retry tasks; customize filenames and the subfolder.
• French and English interface, dark/light/system themes and keyboard-accessible controls.

PRIVACY
No additional account, advertising, analytics or telemetry. No data is sent to SquamifeR. Settings, the queue and ZIP creation stay local. Requested downloads contact Instagram or its media CDN. The extension does not read passwords or cookies. CDN access for ZIP creation and notifications are optional. Private browsing is not supported.

HOW TO USE
Open Instagram in a normal browser window and grant the extension access to the site if prompted. Display a media item, then use its download icon or the popup. Player and icon preferences are in Settings → General.

LIMITATIONS
An Instagram session may be required. Files must be accessible in your session; the extension does not bypass access restrictions. It does not automatically load an entire profile or Story sequence. Segmented streams without an available progressive file are not reconstructed. The best exposed source is not necessarily the original file; temporary URLs may expire.
