How to Capture Individual Instagram Posts

Capture multiple Instagram posts at once using a list of URLs

Capturing multiple Instagram posts doesn’t have to be a click-fest. Page Vault offers two efficient workflows depending on how you prefer to operate: directly through the Page Vault Browser or via the Batch tool in your Portal. Both methods create individual, fully expanded PDFs of each post.

Method 1: Capture a List of Posts in the Page Vault Browser

  1. In your Portal, click Capture to launch the Page Vault Browser.

  2. .Navigate to Instagram.

  3. Ensure you are logged into an Instagram account to access all available content.

  4. Click the red Expand button.

  5. Under Capture Type, select Capture a list of posts (URLs).

  6. A blue button will appear—click it, then paste your Instagram post URLs into the text box.

    • Each URL must be on its own line.

    • Limit the list to 50–100 URLs at a time.

    • Posts can come from more than one profile.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Select the folder where you would like to save your captures. You can also update the capture name and case matter ID field if needed.

  9. Click Expand and Capture.

The Expander will load each post one at a time, starting with the most recent, and create an individual PDF for each post with all comments expanded.

Method 2: Capture Instagram Posts Using Batch + Bulk URL Capture

If you prefer a more Portal-centric workflow—or you’re already organizing other bulk jobs—Batch offers another streamlined way to run Instagram URL captures.

  1. In your Portal, go to Batch.

  2. Create a new job and choose Social Media for the job type.

  3. In the Social Media dropdown, select Instagram.

  4. Choose Bulk URL Capture.

  5. Paste your Instagram post URLs into the Post URLs box (one per line).

  6. Since Instagram requires authentication, choose one of the following:

    • Authenticate via the Page Vault Browser Extension if you're logged into Instagram in Chrome or another supported browser.

    • Toggle Enter cookies manually and paste your Instagram cookies.

  7. Click Capture to begin the batch job.

Each post will be processed individually, and PDFs will be generated automatically once the batch completes.
