By Andy Day
4K Stogram is a handy tool for downloading media in bulk from Instagram. Whether you want to download photos and videos from a certain user, or for a specific location or hashtag, 4K Stogram is quick and convenient and is packed full of useful features.
4K Stogram is a great way to back up your Instagram account or to gather together a large number of posts without having to scroll, take screenshots, or trawl your way through a person’s profile or sift through search results for a hashtag.
If you regularly repost content from certain Instagram users or want to gather a pool of photos and videos onto your computer that has been tagged with a specific hashtag, 4K Stogram automates this process so that instead of sifting through Instagram for great content, you have it all on your computer, ready to upload instantly.
Whether you’re archiving your own data for fear that your profile might be hacked or suspended, or whether you’re putting together a mood board for your boss, 4K Stogram is a handy tool for anyone who needs an Instagram downloader.
What is 4K Stogram?
Is 4k Stogram anonymous?
4K Stogram doesn’t require you to sign in to your Instagram account unless you want to save a user’s stories. For photos and videos, no-one can see what you have downloaded, and nor does anyone receive a notification of what you are downloading.
Features
- Backup your own Instagram
If you’ve ever been concerned about losing thousands of posts in the event that your account is hacked, randomly suspended, or even deleted, 4K Stogram offers users a quick and easy way of saving everything you’ve ever posted.
Simply type your own Instagram username into the search bar and hit Subscribe. The free version will save up to 200 Instagram photos and videos to your hard drive, but if you pay to unlock 4K Stogram, you can download Instagram photos and videos as much as you like.
- Download another user’s Instagram posts
It’s not just your own Instagram posts that you can subscribe to. You might be gathering together a photographer’s work, collating every product and advert that a company has posted, or just indulging in a bit of fandom for a particular celebrity or sports team.
Whatever it might be, 4K Stogram allows you to retrieve every post made by multiple Instagram accounts. Once you have set 4K Stogram to subscribe, it will continue to gather their posts each time you run the program.
- Subscribe to a hashtag
If you closely follow what’s happening with a particular hashtag, it might be convenient to download every photo and video where that hashtag appears.
Just type in the hashtag to 4K Stogram and hit Subscribe and each Instagram post will be saved to your computer.
- Subscribe to a location
4K Stogram allows you to save every single photo and video that has been geotagged with a location.
- Specify a timeframe
You can tell 4K Stogram to only retrieve posts that were made between two specific dates.
- Download Stories
Instagram Stories made by other users are impossible to save without capturing your screen — unless you use 4K Stogram. You will need to enter the login details for your Instagram account to enable this feature.
- Download your Saved items
Instagram makes it easy to bookmark your favourite photos and videos, but they’re not much use if you can only view them through the app, and what happens if a post gets deleted? You won’t be able to find it again.
Once you’ve entered your Instagram login details to 4K Stogram, you can tell it to download every post that you add to your Saved items.

4K Stogram Review
I installed 4K Stogram and started testing its various features to look back on my Instagram account and also to download and backup everything that I’ve posted over the years.
Design
4K Stogram’s interface is simple and easy to use, and the styling is smart and easy on the eye. Menus are clear and simple to follow.
Download & Installation
The installation file is relatively small, and the installation takes a matter of seconds. Once installed, you can immediately start subscribing to users, locations, and hashtags, but you will need to log in and buy the full version to subscribe to Stories.
Performance
4K Stogram does not load posts instantaneously as doing so would cause Instagram itself to assume that 4K Stogram is doing something dodgy and block it from its servers.
4K Stogram works best if you set it running and then come back to it after a few minutes, or perhaps even longer if you’re subscribing for the first time to hundreds or even thousands of posts.
Ease of Use
4K Stogram is very easy to use with a simple interface and a logical layout. Accessing the files that you’ve downloaded through the app itself makes it practical and quick.
Support
If at any point you get stuck, you can click on Help in the menu. You’ll find links to a handy video guide on the 4K Stogram website that runs through every aspect of the app, and a “How to” guide that walks you through the basics.
In addition, you’ll find a Facebook page, Twitter profile, Instagram account, and a Reddit page that is for 4K Stogram and several other apps made by the same company. All of them are active and responsive.
Pricing
The free version of 4K Stogram limits you to downloading 100 posts per subscription and 100 posts per day. Purchasing allows you to download as many as you like.
A one-time fee allows you to use 4K Stogram on up to three computers. There are three options available:
- A Personal license costs $9.95 and gives you up to ten subscriptions with no adverts.
- The Pro license costs $40 and gives you infinite subscriptions, no adverts, and the option to export captions.
- The 4K Bundle gives you a suite of software including a Personal license for 4K Stogram, 4K Video Downloader, and 4K Youtube to MP3.
