Independent Instagram backup guidance
Your Instagram is a feed. Your archive should be more.
Post Grabber explains how to preserve original media, request account records, keep permission notes, and avoid shortcuts that put account access at risk.

How to export your Instagram information
Request a package from Accounts Center, choose HTML or JSON for the job, select media quality deliberately, and store the result somewhere you control.

How we approach the work
Useful guidance starts with limits.
01
Official tools first
Use account exports, archives, and original project files before considering a third-party shortcut.
02
Originals over platform copies
A downloaded post may be useful, but it is not automatically the same file that left the camera or editor.
03
Credentials stay private
A public-link workflow should not need an Instagram password, session cookie, or two-factor code.
Post Grabber field notes
Keep the files. Keep the context. Keep control of the account.
