What iGram does with your data

Your Instagram login and password

The site never asks for the Instagram password. It has no login form, so there is no iGram World password to create or enter. The service never connects to an Instagram account and has no access to it. Public links open in a browser without signing in, and nothing is posted, liked or followed from your account.

The links you paste and the files you save

The site does not store the links you paste or the files you save. After the download, the file exists only on your device. The author of a post or Story does not get a notification about the download. Photos and videos still belong to their authors, and the saved copy is for personal use.

Cookies, analytics and ads

The privacy policy says the site collects usage data, such as the IP address, browser type and the pages visited. The site uses cookies: necessary ones, functional ones that remember choices such as the language, and third-party cookies for analytics and advertising. A browser can be set to refuse cookies, although some parts of the site may then not work.

Payments for Premium

Premium adds HD, 4K and MP3 downloads, and its payments go through a third-party payment processor. The privacy policy says the site does not store or collect payment card details: the card details go directly to the processor. The processors follow PCI-DSS, the card security standard of the PCI Security Standards Council. Downloads in standard quality are free.

Can using iGram get your Instagram account blocked?

The service never connects to an Instagram account, so nothing is posted, liked or followed from it. The service does not control Instagram rules or decisions about accounts.

A third-party app that gets the Instagram login can act from the account, for example follow or unfollow people. Users of such apps describe the result:

if you login with a third party app and unfollow a lot then instagram find that as fishy behaviour. That's why if you go around you'll find a lot of people complaining about their disabled/ banned accounts.

Fake iGram sites and apps to avoid

The answer to “is iGram safe” holds only for igram.world: the sites and apps below use a similar name.

The official website and its full list of addresses are on About iGram.

Sites and apps that use the iGram name
Site or app What it is Run by iGram?
igram.site Uses the iGram name and has its own about page Not run by iGram
igram.website Website with iGram in its address Not run by iGram
igram-world.in Calls itself “IGram World” Not run by iGram
igram.gold Website with iGram in its address Not run by iGram
igram.video Parked domain Not run by iGram
“iGram World Video Downloader” on Google Play App by MS Apps Studio Not run by iGram

A login or password form

A page that asks for an Instagram password or an iGram World login is not the official site: igram.world has no login form. Phishing means a fake page that tricks people into entering a password. Close such a page and type igram.world into the browser bar yourself.

A private account viewer

The official site does not open private accounts and sees only what a browser shows without an Instagram login. A page that offers iGram World for private account viewing is not part of igram.world. A promise to open a private profile is a sign to leave the page.

An app on Google Play with the iGram name

The Google Play app in the table is by MS Apps Studio, and igram.world does not run it. A Google Play listing names the developer of the app, so check that line before you install an app with this name. The table above lists the names known so far.

A WhatsApp number or support chat

The site does not publish a WhatsApp number or a phone number. There is no iGram World WhatsApp number on igram.world, and the contact address there is contact@igram.world. Before you answer a chat that offers support under this name, write to that address and ask.

How to check you are on the official iGram

Typosquatting means registering a look-alike address to catch typing mistakes, so the address needs a letter-by-letter check.

  1. The address in your browser bar is igram.world, not igram.site, igram.website or igram-world.in.
  2. The page has no field for an Instagram login or password.
  3. The page does not promise to open a private account.
  4. A WhatsApp number or a chat that calls itself igram.world support is not listed on the official site.

What to do if you entered your Instagram password on a fake site

These steps are for an account blocked or hacked after an iGram World login on a site that is not igram.world.

  1. Change your Instagram password.
  2. Turn on two-factor authentication, which asks for a second code when someone logs in from a new device. The setting is in Accounts Center, under Password and security.
  3. Check which devices are logged in to your account and log out of the ones you do not recognize.
  4. Remove access for apps and websites you do not recognize.
  5. If someone else has already changed the password, recover the account through Instagram.

FAQ about iGram safety

Does iGram need my Instagram password?

No. iGram never asks for the Instagram password and has no login form, so there is nothing to enter. The service works with public links that open in a browser without signing in. A page that asks for your Instagram login under this name is not the official site.

Is igram.world the official iGram website?

Yes. The official website is igram.world, and iGram World is another name for the same service. Sites such as igram.site, igram.website, igram-world.in, igram.gold and igram.video use a similar name but are not run by iGram. The official site has no login form and never asks for the Instagram password.

Can iGram show a private Instagram account?

No. The service sees only what a browser shows without an Instagram login, so private accounts are not supported. A site that promises to open a private profile is not the official service. To get a file from a private account, ask the author to send it.

Will the account owner know I saved their post or Story?

No. The author of a post or Story does not get a notification about the download, and the site does not contact the account. The same applies when you save Instagram Stories. Only public posts and Stories can be saved, and a Story disappears from Instagram after 24 hours.

Does iGram keep the links or files I download?

No. The site does not store the links you paste or the files you save. After the download, the file exists only on your device. Usage data, such as the IP address and the pages visited, is described in the privacy policy.

Is it legal to download Instagram videos with iGram?

Saving a public video to watch offline gives you no rights to it. Photos and videos belong to their authors. Reposting them or using them commercially without permission can break copyright law and the Instagram Terms of Use. The site rules are in the terms of use.

Is iGram legit or a scam?

iGram works in 28 languages, publishes a contact address, contact@igram.world, and a privacy policy. The official site never asks for the Instagram password or connects to an account. Automated security scanners rate igram.world differently, and each verdict depends on the scanner and the date of its check.

Is iGram safe on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The same facts apply on every device: the service works in a browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, without an Instagram login. On iPhone, Safari puts the file into the Files app, in the Downloads folder. The password, links and files rules on this page apply to every device.
