The extenstion adds a download button to each post, story or highlighted story on Instagram.  

You can find this button in the top right corner of the displayed media.  

In order to download a profile picture you have to navigate to the profile page.  

## Notes

Downloaded images and videos are in their highest available resolution, independent of your screen resolution or the resolution displayed on the Instagram page.  

The download button is fully functional across all posts and stories, supporting both images and videos, including carousels with multiple media.
