Troubleshooting Checklist

Verify that the Instagram account is set to Public. Private posts cannot be processed by web tools.
Ensure your link is clean without tracking query strings (e.g., strip ?is_from_webapp=1 if pasting manually).
Confirm your internet connection or try loading the link in an incognito/private browser tab to bypass stale local cache.

Diagnostic FAQs: How to Download Instagram Content When Phone Storage is Full

Todo lo que necesitas saber sobre la descarga de contenido de Instagram.

Why does Instagram remove line breaks when I paste captions?

Instagram natively collapses consecutive empty lines. instadnl solves this by injecting an invisible zero-width space (\u200B) on blank lines, forcing Instagram to preserve your paragraph spacing perfectly.

What is Instagram’s character and hashtag limit?

Instagram allows up to 2,200 characters and up to 30 hashtags per post. instadnl provides a live character and tag counter with visual limit indicators.

Can I copy only the hashtags from a post?

Yes! Click "Copy All Hashtags" to copy just the tags, or click any individual hashtag chip to copy it separately.

Can I extract captions from private accounts?

No. instadnl only processes publicly accessible Instagram content. Captions from private profiles cannot be retrieved.
