[Instagram] gallery-dl not downloading best image quality available
I noticed this issue in this post. Using the script Instagram Download Button I got a 1440x1800px image, while with gallery-dl the downloaded image only has 1080x1350px.
Related to https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/941. Instaloader is the only tool that I know of that can download pictures in the highest resolution

What's the output of gallery-dl --verbose -K -- "https://www.instagram.com/p/CejXi9LLCgx/"? (This may contain personal information if you care about that).

I'm using --cookies-from-browser so I'm not sure which ones are necessary.

That might be because I migrated from the release binaries of gallery-dl and yt-dlp to pip earlier today.

So the issue is solved? 🤔
@bradenhilton :
I'm using --cookies-from-browser so I'm not sure which ones are necessary.
How to use it?
Either on the CLI with:
gallery-dl --cookies-from-browser="firefox" <Your URL> (optionally --cookies-from-browser="browsername:profile name/path")
or in the config file like this
Does getting the high resolution image only works for individual posts? I've been trying with whole profiles and it downloads the 1080x1350 version
With the latest commits, gallery-dl can now download high(er) resolution photos in all cases (up to 1440px in width), including whole profiles.
The only case that still uses an old GraphQL endpoint with low resolution media is https://www.instagram.com/USER/channel/, but it seems IG has fully replaced that with /reels/ on its website.
So for reels media type there is no higher resolution videos available?
@afterdelight They already download at 720p which is the highest resolution available as far as I know
i mean there is only one resolution available for reels? Not two, like low resolution and high resolution version?
Well, at least when logged in, video posts like this one do have several available sizes.
This post has both a video_versions entry as well as a video_dash_manifest with several different resolutions and bitrates up to 1080x1920.

gallery-dl only extracts the highest resolution version from video_versions due to lacking DASH support. There is also no option to make it select a lower quality one.
Why is the bitrate info isnt available to see? What about video stories? Does gallery-dl grab the highest resolution too?
Why is the bitrate info isnt available to see?
It is available as bandwidth in the DASH manifest.
What about video stories? Does gallery-dl grab the highest resolution too?
Yes, always has been.
With the latest commits, gallery-dl can now download high(er) resolution photos in all cases (up to 1440px in width), including whole profiles.
The only case that still uses an old GraphQL endpoint with low resolution media is
https://www.instagram.com/USER/channel/, but it seems IG has fully replaced that with/reels/on its website.
Is there a specific option needed to use the latest commits for a whole profile? I just got the new .exe, but I'm still getting the 1080x1350 when downloading by profile; I checked an individual post and it was able to be a 1440px DL that way.
What do yo mean by new .exe? The latest build artifacts from here? https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/actions/workflows/executables.yml
Then the latest changes should be included. They're not included in the latest release version 1.23.1
install version 1.23.2 https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/releases/tag/v1.23.2
Does the Instagram page from where the cookies are exported matters?
I'm using
--cookies-from-browserso I'm not sure which ones are necessary.
Is there still any benefit in using this over "username" and "password"? (Has there ever been?)
I could not find any mentions here in the issues about which cookies are necessary and which aren't..
It's probably not so simple as Twitter, where you only need "auth_token" and "ct0"?
I just checked in Chrome, and I have 9 different cookies on my Instagram page..
You only "need" sessionid for Instagram, but I'd think it is far less suspicious to use all the cookies Instagram hands out to a real browser in terms of bot detection than using only one.
The login performed by gallery-dl with given username and password "works" in the sense that it manages to get a sessionid cookie, but it would be very easy for IG to detect that it is not a real browser that is logging in.
Right, makes sense. It seems there's also a csrftoken cookie now, which I assume gets used for cross site request forgery detection?
Also, there is rur, which has a per-session expiry..
Using exported cookies is probably more reliable, then?
csrftoken tokens get used since 447488fb1876f507a6409be12864e9f22cac83e6,
but any csrf cookies just get overwritten with a randomly generated value.

Exported cookies is what I'm personally using together with "cookies-update": false (only to reduce unnecessary disk writes) and it works for at least a few months before IG doesn't accept the login session anymore.
Good to know. I'm also using exported cookies for Instagram now..
But why could disk writes be an issue with "cookies-update": true? How many writes can it be?
