How to Download Instagram Carousel Posts (All Photos)

Carousel posts pack up to 10 photos and videos into one swipeable post — and Instagram gives you no way to save them all. xi at apiproai.com extracts every single photo and video from a carousel so you can download them individually in full quality.

How to download in 4 steps

1. Copy the carousel post link: tap the three dots (⋮) on the post, then Copy Link.
2. Go to apiproai.com in any browser.
3. Paste the link and tap Download.
4. xi shows every photo and video in the carousel — tap each one to save it.

Why use xi for Instagram carousel posts?

There are many ways to save Instagram carousel posts — screen recording, browser extensions, third-party apps — but most come with trade-offs. Screen recordings lose quality and capture notifications and UI elements. Third-party apps often demand your Instagram login (a real account-theft risk), show aggressive ads, or quietly upload your contacts. Browser extensions can read everything you browse.

xi avoids all of that:

• No login, ever. xi never asks for your Instagram username or password.
• Original quality. Files come straight from Instagram's servers — no recompression, no watermarks added.
• Nothing to install. It runs in your browser on iPhone, Android, tablet and desktop.
• Free with no caps. No accounts, no subscriptions, no daily limits.

Saving Instagram carousel posts on iPhone, Android and desktop

On iPhone (Safari): open xi at apiproai.com, paste the link and tap Download. When the file is ready, tap the download icon in Safari's address bar, open the file, then tap the Share button and choose Save Video (or Save Image) to move it into your Photos library.

On Android (Chrome): the process is even simpler — after tapping Download on xi, the file saves straight to your Downloads folder and appears in your gallery app automatically.

On desktop: paste the link into xi, click Download, and the file lands in your browser's download folder. From there you can rename it, move it, or import it into any video editor.

Troubleshooting

"No media found" or empty result: the most common cause is a private or deleted post. Copy a fresh link directly from the Instagram app (Share → Copy Link) rather than from a screenshot or a third-party site, and try again.

Download starts but never finishes: switch to a stable Wi-Fi connection and avoid VPNs that throttle traffic. Very long videos can take a minute or two to prepare — give it time before retrying.

Button doesn't respond on iPhone: make sure you're using Safari (not the in-app browser of another app). If the page seems stuck, pull down to refresh and paste the link again.

File won't play: MP4 and MP3 from xi play in every modern player. If your gallery app can't open it, try VLC — it's free and handles everything.
