How to Save Instagram Carousels & Multi-Slide Albums

October 2026• 3 min read•Verified for iOS & Android

Carousel posts can hold up to 10 or 20 mixed photos and videos. Here is how to download individual slides or grab the whole album in one ZIP file.

Understanding Instagram Carousels

Carousels allow creators to post multiple slides in a single post. These often contain sequences of educational infographics, travel photos, or photo dumps containing both static pictures and short videos.

Downloading each slide one by one can be tedious. DropIG provides both individual item checkboxes and a one-click "Download All (.ZIP)" feature.

How to Download Carousel Posts

1. Copy the URL of the carousel post from Instagram.

2. Paste it into DropIG.com/instagram-carousel-downloader.

3. Our system scans the carousel and displays each individual slide in a clean thumbnail grid.

4. Either click "Download" on the specific slides you want, or select "Download All (.ZIP)" to archive the full album.

Frequently Asked Questions
