Download all slides from an Instagram carousel
Carousel posts — swipeable albums with dots — share a single instagram.com/p/SHORTCODE/ link. Paste that URL here and we list Image 1, Image 2, and so on via /api/extract on our servers. Save each file from the preview. Mixed carousels with video slides may also return video files for those slides.
How to download an Instagram carousel
- 1. Copy the carousel link — Open the carousel post, tap Share → Copy link. Do not copy a profile URL — use the post link with swipe dots and /p/ in the path.
- 2. Paste and preview all slides — Paste the /p/ URL above and click Download. SMDownloader resolves every slide via /api/extract on our servers — wait for the full list in the preview.
- 3. Save each image — Download slides one at a time from the preview. Most mobile browsers let you save to Photos in quick succession.
Why use SMDownloader
- Every slide listed. Multi-image posts show separate download entries in the preview — save slides individually without screenshotting each one.
- One /p/ link for all slides. Carousels and single photos both use /p/ URLs. Paste the Share link from the carousel itself — no separate URL per slide.
- Server-side resolution. SMDownloader resolves carousel slides via /api/extract on our servers. Most public /p/ links return every slide Instagram exposes to logged-out viewers in seconds.

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
What links will not work
- Bypass private accounts, close-friends stories, or login-only posts.
- Bulk-scrape entire profiles, hashtags, or channels automatically.
- Promise universal no-watermark, 4K, or DRM-free output when the source does not expose it.
Common questions
How do I download an Instagram carousel?
Copy Share → Copy link on the carousel post, paste the instagram.com/p/ URL above, click Download, preview every slide, then save each image or video from the list — one /p/ link covers all slides. Reels use /reel/ URLs; use the Reels Downloader for those.
Is this an instagram carousel downloader?
Yes — paste one public carousel /p/ link at a time. SMDownloader resolves every slide via /api/extract on our servers and returns whatever images or videos Instagram exposes for that post URL.
How do I download instagram carousel images?
Paste the public instagram.com/p/ share link, click Download, and save each image from the preview panel. You do not need a separate link per slide — one /p/ URL lists them all.
How do I save instagram multiple photos from one post?
Use the same Share → Copy link URL from the carousel. SMDownloader lists each photo in the preview so you can batch-save slides one by one in under a minute.
Is this an instagram album downloader?
Yes — Instagram carousel albums use one /p/ post URL. Paste that link here and we fetch every slide Instagram publishes on the public post payload via /api/extract on our servers.
Can I download all carousel images at once?
The preview lists each slide separately. Save them one by one from the download panel — most users batch-save every image from a single /p/ link in under a minute.
Do carousels with videos work?
Mixed carousels may return both images and video files when Instagram exposes them on the public post URL. Photo-only carousels return still images only.
How do I copy an Instagram carousel link?
Open the carousel, tap Share → Copy link, and confirm instagram.com/p/ is in the URL. Carousels use the same /p/ shape as single-photo posts — see the Instagram photo copy-link guide for step-by-step screenshots on mobile and desktop.
