How Can I Print Instagram Photos? (Mobile & Desktop)

So as mentioned above, there are two ways to get your IG photos printed. You can simply go to the post of your choice, take a screenshot, and print it out. But you can also download the posted image using a third-party app and then get your Instagram prints. But let’s check out the step-by-step guide:

#1 Download Your Images

Before getting to know how to print your Instagram pictures, let’s first see how you can download them. If you’ve posted any story, then you can download photos and videos from your IG story. But as you can’t do that with your posts, you can use other methods. So for downloading images as well, there are two methods.:

Take A Screenshot:

You can simply take a screenshot of your desired image and crop it to get a print of Instagram photos. To take a screenshot:

1. Open your Instagram app.
2. Find or go to the post you want to get printed.
3. Take a screenshot of how you usually do it on your mobile phone. For better picture quality, use a computer. For Windows users, Windows + Print Screen is your command to take screenshots; for Mac users, it’s Cmd + Shift + 4. 
4. Now, go to the place where your screenshot is saved.
5. Click on edit and crop the image by removing the IG background.

You can use the saved image and send it to print.

Request Instagram Data:

Another way to get your images is by requesting data from Instagram. You can print Instagram photos by getting images sent to your mail by Instagram itself. But to complete this procedure, you must use Instagram through a browser because you can only ask for it through the website platform. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open Instagram on your browser.
2. Click on your profile picture. And go to your Settings.  
3. Select Privacy and Security.
4. Now scroll down and stop when find Data Download; under it, click on Request Download.
5. Check your mail and then hit next.
6. Enter your password and click on Request Download.
   

After this, Instagram will ask for your email Id and password. Once done, you’ll be sent your files through mail, and you will have to look through them to find the required image. Also, another thing you must keep in mind is that this process will take some time, which completely depends on how much data you have. So keep this in mind!

#2 Print Your Instagram Photos

So now that you’ve understood how to get your images ready for printing, let’s see how to send IG pictures to print:

Mobile Devices:

1. Locate the image you want to print on your phone gallery.
2. Tap on the share icon.
3. Now choose the print option, and you’ll be directed to format the image before printing.
4. Now choose and send it to the connected printer.

Laptop or Computer:

1. Locate your image file on your PC.
2. Now right-click on the image and hit the print option.
3. Change the print settings however you like.
4. Select the printer name.
5. Then hit Print.

This way, you can print Instagram photos in a few easy steps. This method surely does not require any external app or platform hence is doable by everyone. But if you want to maintain the quality of images or directly download the images from the IG app, you can do that too!

How To Get Instagram Prints Using Third-Party Apps?

So Instagram does not allow its users to download the images directly since there is no such feature. However, you can still download posts using a third-party app. Several third-party apps are available on the web, like ByClick Downloader, Regrammer (for iOS), InsTake Downloader (for Android), and many others. You simply need to visit the website, download the app or go to the app store, as these are completely free.

But there’s a drawback to this method. Many apps like these can easily breach your privacy. They ask for many privacy permissions. You just need to be careful about what you’re agreeing to. Always evaluate to what extent you’re agreeing to give out access.

These apps might even ask you to log in to your IG account through their app, so make sure you read all cookies and track the amount of data you’re allowing them to handle.

That’s it you’ve now learned how to print IG pictures through your mobile phones and desktops with or without third-party apps. This way, you can create or print Instagram photos book and keep a physical album of your loving memories.
