Download all slides from an Instagram carousel
Instagram carousel albums allow creators to bundle up to 20 swipeable slides (combining both still photos and short video clips) under a single /p/SHORTCODE/ link. Rather than forcing you to screenshot each frame individually, SMDownloader parses the multi-item JSON structure to extract every individual asset at native resolution, organizing them into a browsable gallery list.
How to download an Instagram carousel
- 1. Copy the carousel post link — Open the multi-slide post in Instagram, tap the Share or three-dot icon, and select Copy link.
- 2. Submit URL for batch extraction — Paste the /p/ link into SMDownloader above and click Download to parse all slides in the collection.
- 3. Save each slide — Browse through the numbered slides in the preview list and click Save on each photo or video you want.
Why use SMDownloader
- Up to 20 slides parsed. Inspects the complete carousel structure, enumerating all photo and video slides up to Instagram's 20-item album cap.
- Mixed-media slide support. Directly handles albums containing both JPEG photographs and progressive MP4 video clips in a single post.
- Slide index preservation. Maintains the creator's exact slide order so you can view and download images sequentially.

Supported link formats
https://www.instagram.com/p/SHORTCODE/
Carousel posts use the same /p/ pattern as single photos — one link covers every slide; the preview reveals how many images or videos exist.
If only one file appears, the post may be a single image — the Photo Downloader page describes the same workflow with simpler copy.
Where files save
After you confirm a save, the file goes to your browser's default download location — usually Downloads on desktop or your photo gallery on mobile. SMDownloader does not host or email files.
Limits

- Bypass private accounts, close-friends stories, or login-only posts.
- Bulk-scrape entire profiles, hashtags, or channels automatically.

Common questions
How do I download all photos from an Instagram carousel post?
Copy the single /p/ link from the carousel, paste it into SMDownloader, and click Download. Our servers parse the album payload and display every image and video slide for individual download.
Does SMDownloader support mixed carousels with both photos and videos?
Yes. Many Instagram carousels mix still photos with short video clips. Our parser identifies each item type, providing high-res JPEGs for photos and MP4s for video slides.
How many slides can an Instagram carousel contain?
Instagram allows up to 20 photos and videos in a single carousel album. SMDownloader enumerates every slide included in the post.
Do I need a separate link for each slide in the carousel?
No. One /p/ post URL represents the entire carousel. You only need to copy the post link once, and all slides will be loaded automatically.
Can I download all carousel photos at once as a single ZIP file?
Due to mobile memory constraints and edge processing limits, slides are delivered individually so you can quickly save whichever items you need without browser crashes.
Why does only one image appear when I paste a carousel link?
If only a single image loads, the post may have been published as a standard single-photo post rather than a multi-image carousel.
