I made a free open-source browser extension to download HD Instagram profile photos and track unfollowers
Built this as a side project a while back and figured I'd share it here. It's called WeXProfile Downloader and it does a few things:
- Downloads Instagram profile pictures in full HD (way bigger than what you'd get just right-clicking)
- Shows follower/following counts, bio, verified status
- Tracks follower changes over time with a chart
- Has an unfollower scanner — finds accounts you follow that don't follow back, lets you unfollow them in bulk with rate limiting so you don't get flagged
- Exports profile data as JSON, CSV, or TXT
- Dark/light mode, 5 color themes, 9 fonts — genuinely more customization than it probably needs 😄
Where to get it:
- Microsoft Edge → Edge Add-ons Store (one-click install)
- Chrome / Brave / Opera → manual install, takes about 30 seconds:
- Download the ZIP from latest release
- Extract it
- Go to
chrome://extensions, enable Developer Mode (top right) - Click "Load unpacked", select the extracted folder
- Done — go to any Instagram profile and click the extension icon
Firefox version exists but it's behind on updates, so I'd recommend the above for now.
Everything runs locally — no accounts, no servers, no data collection. Full source is on GitHub if you want to check what it's actually doing: github.com/Wek1d/WeXProfile-Downloader
Happy to answer questions or take feedback. Still actively working on it.
