Layoutify: Improved Layout for Instagram

Download extension

The layout of Instagram.com is not optimized for the desktop. This extension improves this.The default Instagram.com layout is not optimized for the desktop. This extension improves the design.
It also lets you view your saved ("Collections") and liked images on the web. To view them, click the 3-dots menu on the top right.

Next, as Instagram is optimized for phones, they never load the highest quality and prevent the right click download of images.
This extension changes that and lets you save the highest quality using right click.


My extension does not collect any private data and your images are only stored on your PC.
