Import from Instagram
Move finished photographs from Instagram into ISO100 without publishing them immediately. Review the proposed galleries and files before the normal upload begins.

Prepare your Instagram export
Request your Instagram information and include the exported media and metadata files in one ZIP. An official connection will appear only if Meta provides suitable read-only access without paid API access, licensing fees, commercial terms, per-import charges, or a required source-plan upgrade. Until then, the connection remains disabled.
- Choose the best available image quality or original files.
- Keep each gallery in its own folder when the export does not include a recognized manifest.
- Keep the source portfolio active until the ISO100 drafts have been checked.
Preview the migration
Selected photographs, carousel images, captions, and dates can be imported when supplied. Reels, comments, likes, followers, Stories, and distribution history do not transfer.
Studio shows proposed gallery names, selected photographs, storage use, unsupported files, and plan limits before it prepares any ISO100 content.
- Rename or deselect galleries before continuing.
- Deselect files that do not belong in the portfolio.
- A web-size source may be suitable for display but is not presented as an archival original.
Prepare private drafts
- Open the importer
In Studio, open Photos, open More, then select Import portfolio. An empty library shows Import portfolio directly.
- Choose Instagram
Choose the platform, then upload the export ZIP or select the organized folder.
- Review and prepare
Confirm the selected galleries and photographs. ISO100 creates unpublished draft galleries and adds the files to the normal upload review.
- Check before publishing
Review processing, crops, titles, captions, alt text, and gallery order. Publishing remains a separate action.
What remains at the source
ISO100 does not delete or modify the source account. Themes, custom pages, commerce, comments, followers, passwords, client activity, and domain settings are outside the photo migration.
Open Studio to make the change.
