InstaDP is a very useful Chrome Extension to download Instagram Display Pictures in just one click! Its User-friendly, Beautiful and Simple. The utility is made using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Chrome's Manifest. The Chrome Extension is activated only when user visits the Instagram Profile of someone. On all other pages, this Chrome Extension is disabled. This feature makes more personalized and efficient.
Instagram doesn't provide the feature to view/download the user's profile pictures and everyone on instagram zooms their browser to see it; still fails to do so. This was the motivation for developing this Project. Initially the idea was to develop a website for this utility, but after research for a better alternative; Chrome Extension seemed to be best fitting for such small but large-audience based application.
This utility is for a larger audience for varying age, nationality, literacy etc. Moreover, the Instagram users are always fleeting and scrolling the feed or texting, it is rare that they open a new website by googling just to download the DP. Also, it doesn't seem user-friendly as majority aren't familiar with random websites. Thus, a simple Chrome Extension can be handy and can SAVE developer's Server hosting cost of website to a larger scale.
Moroever, this chrome extension is PAGE-specific and thus avoids the illegal Data-Scrappers to fetch Image Data of the Users from this utility; since this is developed for users. Also, as this is a Chrome Extension, it is completely on Client Side. So no worries for Data-security aspects.
Open any User's Instagram Profile and then click on the InstaDP Chrome-Extension icon on top taskbar in Google Chrome.
