Your Questions Answered: Saving Substack Videos, Photos & Audio with Instag

Paste any Substack URL into the box above and press Download. Instag does not require you to sign in to Substack — public links work out of the box.

On the Substack photos endpoint Instag returns the original file (JPG, PNG, WebP, or animated GIF) without re-compression. Multi-image Substack posts come back as a single batch.

Substack photos downloads come at whichever is the largest version the platform exposes — usually the source upload, not the thumbnail you see in feed. No re-compression.

Instag treats Substack URLs the way the platform itself serves them — no transcoding, no quality re-encode, no metadata stripping unless the source already lacks it.

Most Substack downloads are people saving content for personal offline viewing. Instag does not charge per download, does not require an account, and does not log what you saved.

Substack is a social network where the same URL can resolve to a video, a photo, an album, or a profile. Instag inspects the URL pattern and routes to the right extractor.

There's no daily limit on Substack photos downloads. Multi-image posts come back as a single batch — you don't need to paste each image URL separately.

Yes — JPG, PNG, WebP, and animated GIF are universally supported. iOS Photos, Android Gallery, Windows, macOS, and Linux all open Substack photos downloads natively.

Substack photos downloads through Instag are free. Free users see ads; Pro removes them and adds bulk album downloads. No sign-up required either way.

Saving Substack content for personal use is generally fine; redistributing copyrighted material without permission is not. Instag does not own or license Substack content — you are responsible for how you use what you download.

Instag does not store Substack photos URLs or the files themselves. Each photos download streams through and is discarded — no album history, no per-user gallery.

Confirm the Substack post is still public. The most common photos failure is a hot-link-protected CDN URL — paste the post URL instead of the image URL itself and Instag will fetch with the right Referer header.
