How to request your export from Instagram

It takes two minutes to request, and Instagram usually delivers within minutes, sometimes up to a day. Choose JSON, not HTML.

1. 1

   Open Accounts Center

   Instagram app → your profile → menu ↗ → Settings → Accounts Center.

   Also available on instagram.com under Settings.

   Pick your Instagram account if you have several.

   Large accounts get several files. Upload all of them to the same import.
