Instagram-Downloader

How this work

With regex and some ReactFiber magic, I'm able to know which post you wanna download and fetch the api to download the photos for you.

Browser compatibility

This extension should work fine on the following browsers with fetch() API and Chromium base browser, tested Browser:

• Google Chrome
• MS Edge
• FireFox

Chrome or other Chromium browsers

• Enable Chrome extensions developer mode
• Drag and drop extracted folder to chrome://extensions/

Usage

• Go to any post, reels, stories, etc. Then click Download button to fetch data.

• If you scroll on the home page, this app will auto detect the post you wanna download so you don't have to click to comment section to open modal. Thanks to ReactFiber.

You can modify anything you want except some constants start with "IG_" that definitely gonna break this extension.

Edit Hide / Show Transition effects

.display-container.hide {
    transform-origin: 85% bottom;
    transform: scale(0);
    pointer-events: none;
    opacity: 0.6;
}

Keyboard shortcut

Some keyboard shortcuts will not work if you use an external application for typing.

• Download: D
• Close: esc C c
• Select all S s
• Keyboard shortcut should work if you don't focus on special HTML Elements like input textarea or any element with textbox role (ex: comment, search, ...)

Deprecated features

These features was deprecated for some reason.

Notes

If you save extension on external partition or drive and your Linux Distro doesn't mount automatically, extension will disappear. You have to mount that partition/drive and restart browser.
