Apart from the above method, you can also use three easy-to-use Android apps to download Instagram profile pictures.

1. Insta Profile Pic Zoom & Save

If you want to fetch someone’s Instagram profile picture in full quality without having to open the Instagram app, this is the perfect tool for you.

The app is available for free and lets you view and save Insta profile pictures. You just need to enter the profile name and hit the Get Profile Picture button.

The app will then scour the Insta-world and fetch you the picture of your desire. You can then hit the Save icon at the top-right corner of the app beside the Share button.

You can also view saved profile pictures by tapping the Gallery icon at the top-right corner on the home screen. The app weighs just about 3MB.

2. Insta Big Profile Photo

You often miss out on recognizing known faces when they appear in small sizes in the form of Insta profile pictures. Hence, it’s better if you have a photo-enlarging app like this one.

All you need to do is open the Instagram app, copy the image URL and paste it on to the Insta Big Profile Photo interface. Then, hit Load It to see the profile picture in full size.

The app is available for free and weighs around 10MB.

3. Profile Picture Download for Instagram

With a 4.7-star rating on the Play Store, this Android app is probably the most clutter-free Insta profile picture saver.

Much like Insta Profile Pic Zoom & Save, this app also doesn’t require you to have the Instagram app installed on your device.

You only need to type in the profile name on the top of the screen and hit Search. Once the desired profile picture appears on screen, tap the Download this picture button at the bottom. This will save the picture to your phone’s Gallery.

The app comes free of cost and takes 3MB of space.
