Today, when Instagram is gaining popularity, many are not aware of some of the features and unusual functions of this social network, for example, some are looking on the Internet for information on how to download photos from Instagram. The fact is that among the standard functions of Instagram there is no such possibility.

But there are just a huge number of ways to accomplish this task. This can be done on any device, whether it is a smartphone on the Android platform, iPhone, tablet or computer. Therefore, we consider the simplest and most popular ways to upload photos from Instagram.
In most cases, in order to upload a photo from Instagram, you do not need to use any additional programs or sites. Instead, it’s enough to have a browser installed on your device and nothing more. Unless a separate Instagram application, if it is a smartphone. Although you can also do without it. Next, we will discuss how to download images from Instagram using standard tools on different devices.
The easiest way is to simply open the page code and find there a link to a particular photo. Using this method is as follows:

• Open the image on Instagram.
• In any place on the open page, right-click and select "View Source." This feature is available in absolutely any browser.
• In the window that opens, press the key combination Ctrl + F, after which a small search box opens at the top. In it we write "display_src" and press Enter.
• As a result, the browser highlights one single result, in which after "" display_src ":" https: // "there is a link to the image. It ends on the extension, in our case it is .jpg. So, we need to select and copy by pressing the combination Ctrl + C keys everything that goes after "https: //" and ends on the extension.
• The copied link must be inserted into the address bar of the browser. Then the image will open in a new tab without any Instagram elements.
• On the page that opens, and specifically on the image itself, you need to click the right mouse button and select "Save Image As ...".
• After that, the standard save dialog opens, in which you will need to specify the file name and its location, and then click the "Save" button.

Another easy way is to use the Alt and PrintScreen keys. The combination of these keys makes a screenshot of the active window. Therefore, anyone can very easily take a screenshot of the screen, and then cut out the desired part and save it.
This method involves the following steps:

• We go to any page and open any photo. Press Alt and PrintScreen at the same time.
• Open the most common Paint. We insert the image by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + V.
• Press the button “Select” (shown in figure №5 with an arrow).
• We select the part we need, that is, the image itself. Move it to the far left corner.
• We remove the rest. To do this, move the cursor to the lower left corner of the active Paint window and drag it to the desired part of the image to be saved.
• As a result, only the image we need remains. To save it, you need to open the Paint menu (the button of this menu is highlighted in blue in Figure # 8) and select the “Save” item or simply click on the save icon (highlighted in yellow).
• Then, again, the standard save dialog opens, where you will need to specify the file name and the folder where it will be saved. Optionally, you can also change the extension. To do this, there is a lower menu (highlighted in figure number 9).

This impossibly simple method allows you to quickly download a picture from Instagram very quickly and without any additional means.
