How to View Instagram Posts Without an Account & Legally

13 September, 2023 — James Brandon

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, with billions of users sharing photos, videos, and stories every day. While having an Instagram account is the standard way to access and interact with content on the platform, you may want to access Instagram without logging in to your account.

Accessing Instagram without logging in to your account is not a straightforward process but some legal workarounds can help you view Instagram profiles and posts without logging in. In a previous related article, we discussed how to use TikTok without creating an account. In this article, we will explore these methods, ensuring you stay within the boundaries of Instagram’s terms of service.

Using a Known Username

If you know someone’s Instagram username and their profile is set to public, you can still find their profile without having your own Instagram account. To do this,

• Simply go to the Instagram website in your web browser

• Type in Instagram’s URL followed by a forward slash and the username of the profile you wish to access and add the person’s username to the end of the website address. For instance, you can type “www.instagram.com/[username]” and you’ll be able to see their pictures and posts.

Use Third-party Websites (with Caution)

Some third-party websites and tools allow you to view Instagram posts legally without an account. One of the commonly known third-party websites is Imgsed. The website works by allowing users to search Instagram usernames and browse through the profiles.

To use Imgsed:

• Type in the Imgsed URL on your browser and click enter

• While on the launch page of the website, type in the username of the account you wish to view and click the search button

• Several usernames will appear in the search results. Click on the one you wish to view
