How to get your Instagram Wrapped 2026
Every tap in Accounts Center, the settings that matter, and what to do when Instagram gets in the way.
We'll walk you through it step by step.
Open “Download your information”
In the Instagram app (easiest on a phone):
Profile → ☰ (top right) → Accounts Center → Your information and permissions → Download your information
In a browser: open Meta's Accounts Center and log in. Menus move around now and then: if you can't find it, search the settings for "Download your information".
Export all your information to your device
- Tap Download or transfer information.
- Pick your Instagram account, if you have several.
- Choose All available information. "Some of your information" makes it easy to leave out the parts your Wrapped is made of.
- Tap Export to device.
Untick Media, choose JSON, start the export
- Tap Customize information and untick Media. Your photos and videos aren't needed, and leaving them out makes the file much smaller and Meta a lot faster.
- Date range: All time.
- Format: JSON. Not HTML: the HTML version is made for reading in a browser and we can't turn it into a Wrapped.
- Media quality: Lower quality, then tap Start export.
Download the ZIP when Meta emails you
Meta now packs up your data and emails you when it's ready. Without media that's often within minutes, big accounts can take a few hours. Then tap Download in the email or under Download your information. Grab it soon: the file is only available for a few days.
- iPhone: usually in the Files app → Downloads.
- Android: your Downloads folder.
- Computer: your Downloads folder, named something like "instagram-yourname-….zip".
Upload it and watch your Wrapped
Open Wrapped for Instagram, pick the ZIP (no need to unzip it) and your Wrapped is ready in seconds.
The file is read right in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. It contains no password, so it can't be used to log into your account.
Something not working?
- I picked HTML instead of JSON
- Happens a lot. Start a new export and set Format to JSON this time. The HTML version can't be turned into a Wrapped.
- The export is taking forever
- Did you leave Media ticked? Photos and videos make the export huge and slow. Without them it's often done within minutes. Otherwise, give Meta a few hours: you'll get an email.
- I got several ZIP files
- Big exports are sometimes split. Upload the first one; with Media unticked you should only get one.
- My download expired
- Meta only keeps the file for a few days. Start the export again, same settings.
- The upload says it isn't an Instagram export
- Make sure you pick the ZIP from Instagram, not a screenshot or a file from another app, and that it was exported as JSON.
- I can't find “Download your information”
- It lives in Accounts Center: Profile → ☰ → Accounts Center → Your information and permissions. Or search Instagram's settings for “Download your information”.
Is there an official Instagram Wrapped?
No. Instagram has no Spotify-style Wrapped for what you like, watch and send. Wrapped for Instagram turns your own data export into one: the reels you liked, who you send reels to, your late-night likes and your Instagram type. It's an independent project, not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by Instagram or Meta.
Does it show my Reels watch time?
Not as a measured number. Instagram's export only includes about the last week of what you viewed, so your Wrapped is built on what Instagram keeps for longer: likes, DMs, comments, follows and stories. Where we estimate your year from that last week, the slide clearly says it's a projection.
Is it safe?
Yes. Your Wrapped is calculated right in your browser and your file is never uploaded to our servers. The export doesn't contain your password, so nobody can use it to get into your account, and we never ask for your Instagram login.
Got your file? Let's see the damage.
The reels you liked, your reel bestie, your 3am double-taps, your Instagram type, and a roast for every stat.
