Who uses it
Built for literally anyone but mostly used by these
Curious people
Looking for a way to take a peek without anyone knowing.
Parents
Making sure their kid is safe online.
Looking up an account that messaged you
Without worrying about accidentally opening their message letting them know you see it.
Content creators
Needing an easy way to download pictures and videos to create more engaging content.
For privacy-conscious
Who are absolutely paranoid about their digital footprint, lucky for them we never ask who they are and never share their lookups.
Instagram live follower count
Once a profile loads, the follower number stays live: we check it every minute for the next 15 minutes. That's useful when someone is close to a milestone. After 15 minutes it stops, so press View profile again to restart it.

Instagram post viewer: can you see posts without an account?
Yes, but for public accounts only. The post viewer will show their posts with no login and no Instagram account needed. Tap a thumbnail to open the full post in case there is a carousel you want to swipe through, or paste its link into the Instagram downloader to save the photo or video.
Can I view private accounts, and what do I see?
Our tool works on private accounts, but you won't get anything useful out of it.
Public account: Profile picture, name, bio and the follower, following and the post count. As well as the posts with its likes and comments, and a follower number that updates every minute.
Private account: Picture, name, bio, and the three counts.
Posts aren't public, so there's nothing to show.
Is it anonymous?
Yes, in the sense that matters: our servers fetch the public profile for you, so the account is never told and you never appear in a viewer list no matter what.
What are the risks?
There are no risks to you, as the middle man between you and the data we take on all the risk which could happen. We never share data on who viewed what. You have nothing to worry about.
Is it legal, and are you connected to Instagram?

Frequently asked
Can I check the engagement rate?
You can use our profile analyzer which will show you detailed information on the exact engagement rate, as well as how it's calculated, a total profile score, and even more.
Can I see who viewed my Instagram profile?
No. Instagram shows you who watched your stories and lives, but never who looked at your profile.
Can I get this data in my own app?
Yes, through our Instagram API. It returns the same profile, posts and engagement numbers as JSON.
Can I see someone's Instagram posts without following them?
Yes, if the account is public. Public posts are visible to anyone, so the viewer shows the latest ones without a follow, a login or a notification. For a private account you only get the profile's info.
Can I see an Instagram profile picture in full size?
Yes. After a lookup, the download button on the profile photo saves it at the largest size Instagram serves, much bigger than the small circle in the app.
Is there a viewer for private Instagram profiles?
No. A private account's posts are only visible to its approved followers, so any site that claims to show them is guessing or wants your login. For a private account you still get the profile card: photo, name, bio and counts.
Can I see their stories and highlights too?
Yes, for public accounts. Stories can be viewed using the story viewer and highlights with the highlight viewer. Neither will reveal you to the profile owner.
Why won't a profile load?
Most likely the username is spelled wrong, or you simply used up your free budget. If you've used your lookups for the day, it will work again tomorrow.
Is there a limit?
Yes, you get 20 lookups a day. Then it resets the next day.
