Most users browse Instagram on their smartphones and if you come across a profile picture, it’s a tiny picture in a circle. There are times when we want to zoom in on a profile picture to see it clearly. Thankfully, you can easily do so. Let’s check four ways to enlarge profile pictures on Android, iOS, and Web.

1. Using Instagram App (Android/iOS)

There is a native feature to enlarge Instagram profile pictures. In the Instagram app, open the profile of the user whose picture you want to zoom in on your Android or iPhone. Long press on the profile picture to view an enlarged version of the picture. This will work even if a user has added a story to their profile.

2. Using Online Tool (All Devices)

If the native method doesn’t work or you want to download the profile picture in its actual glory, you should try this method. Basically, the profile picture is uploaded in full resolution, and Instagram’s API can be used to retrieve the image with a simple command. Don’t worry, we’re not doing any tinkering with code because there are plenty of apps and tools that do this for us.

We’ll use an online tool that can pull up an HD image using the Instagram API. The website works on the web as well as on mobile which is great. All you need to do is enter the username or paste the profile link.

To enlarge the profile picture of a user on Instagram, follow these steps:

1. Go to instadp.io on a web browser on your computer or phone.

2. Click on the Instagram profile picture downloader.

3. Enter their Instagram username and or paste their profile link. Click on Get or press Enter and it will pull up the profile picture of the user in high definition.

4. Click on Download to save the profile picture on your device.

In case the above website doesn’t work, here are some alternate websites to zoom in on Instagram profile pictures:

3. Using App (Android)

You can also use third-party apps to zoom in on Instagram profile pictures and view enlarged versions of the photo. You simply have to look up a profile by their username and the app will fetch a high-quality profile picture. The only drawback is that these apps will ask you to watch a video before showing you the big profile picture.

1. Install the HD Profile Picture Viewer app on your Android phone.

2. Open the app, enter the username of the profile in the text box, and hit the Search button.

3. Tap on View rewarded ads. Watch the full ad.

4. You’ll find all the possible results similar to the username you just entered. Tap the one you’re looking for. You can now see the HD profile picture and clearly make out who they are. If you want, you can even download their profile picture by tapping the Save button.

If the app stops working in the future, try the Profile picture downloader HD app.

Tip: Learn what happens by making your Instagram account private or public.

4. Using App (iPhone)

Just like Android, you can use a dedicated app to enlarge profile pictures on your iPhone as shown below:

1. Download and open the Instadp app on your iPhone.

2. Enter the Instagram username and tap on Find.

3. Tap on Full Size to enlarge the profile picture of the Instagram user.

An alternate app to use is HD Profile picture. However, it comes with in-app purchases.
