How Independent Musicians Can Recover Their Own Instagram Content

A practical tip for independent artists and bands who use Instagram to promote their music and share live performance clips. Many musicians build their entire visual presence on Instagram but lose the original quality files over time. When it comes time to update a press kit, submit photos for a music blog feature, or reuse promotional content for a new release, Instagram provides no built in way to retrieve previously published photos or videos in original resolution. I have been using snapinstaink as a browser based solution that retrieves original quality files from public Instagram post URLs with no installation required making it easy for any independent musician to maintain a proper content archive outside of Instagram.
