Instagram saved-post import

Import Instagram saved posts into Sendlore.

Export your Instagram information in JSON, locate the saved-post or saved-collection file, upload it to Sendlore, and review the detected links before importing. Useful Instagram references can then live beside articles, videos, notes, and other research instead of staying buried inside Saved.

Request JSON from Meta’s export flow. Sendlore currently supports saved_posts.json and saved_collections.json for this migration.

Step 1

Export your Instagram information in JSON.

Meta now centralizes information controls in Accounts Center. Labels can vary slightly between app, web, and account configurations, so use the export/download controls under Your information and permissions and make sure the export format is JSON.

Open Accounts Center

From Instagram settings, open Accounts Center and choose the Instagram profile that contains the saved posts.

Open information controls

Go to Your information and permissions, then use Meta’s export/download-your-information flow.

Select the Instagram account and data

Choose the relevant Instagram profile and the categories needed for your saved-content export rather than exporting unrelated account data if Meta lets you narrow it.

Choose JSON

When Meta asks for a format, choose JSON. Complete the export request and download the archive once Meta says it is ready.

Meta describes Accounts Center as the place for managing settings across Instagram and other connected Meta accounts. Its information tools allow exporting account information to a device or other destination. About Accounts Center

Step 2

Extract the archive and find the saved-content JSON.

The Meta download can contain far more than Sendlore needs. Extract it on your device and select only the supported saved-content file for this import.

Extract the downloaded archiveSendlore’s live Import UI does not currently use the ZIP itself for this workflow.

Look for saved_posts.jsonThis is one of the current filenames supported by Sendlore for Instagram saved-post exports.

Or use saved_collections.jsonIf your export represents saved content through collections, Sendlore also supports this current JSON filename.

Do not upload unrelated account dataThe broader Meta archive can contain profile, activity, media, message, and other information that is not required to migrate saved-post links.

Expected Sendlore files

saved_posts.json

saved_collections.json

Export structures can change on Meta’s side. These filenames reflect the current Sendlore importer and Help Center guidance.

Step 3

Upload the JSON and review the detected Instagram links.

Sendlore parses the export before creating the saves so the migration remains reviewable.

Choose Instagram

Open Sendlore Import and select the Instagram saved-post source.

Upload the JSON

Select saved_posts.json or saved_collections.json from the extracted Meta export.

Review detected items

Check the links Sendlore parsed and inspect duplicate warnings before proceeding.

Choose processing depth

Use Light import for the backlog or Full AI when richer processing is worth the available credits.

Light import vs. Full AI

Preserve the saved links first. Enrich the ones that still matter.

Instagram collections can grow into large visual backlogs. Sendlore separates moving those references into your library from attempting deeper extraction on every destination immediately.

Light importCreates lighter saves from the detected links and basic available information without spending full-processing credits on every Instagram item.

Full AIAttempts richer processing and can consume credits per item. What Sendlore can actually capture from an Instagram destination depends on the post and current platform access.

Importing a saved-post link is not the same as cloning the Instagram post.

Instagram may limit what can be read outside a logged-in session. A Sendlore save can therefore remain partial or metadata-only. The original Instagram URL stays important for reopening the source.

After the import

Use saved Instagram posts outside the Instagram Saved screen.

The migration is most useful when an Instagram reference connects to research happening somewhere else — design inspiration, product ideas, creators, recipes, travel, competitors, or examples for a future project.

Retrieve across source typesAn imported Instagram post can appear beside relevant articles, videos, notes, product links, and files.

Organize after migrationUse Sendlore folders, types, and tags instead of rebuilding Instagram collections perfectly before importing.

Keep the source attachedThe original Instagram URL remains available for reopening and verifying the post when the source is still accessible.

Add context to future savesFor new captures, record why the post mattered while the idea, campaign, product, creator, or reference is still fresh.

Privacy and account-data scope

Meta exports can contain more personal data than this migration requires.

Choose the relevant Instagram profileIf several Meta profiles live in the same Accounts Center, make sure the export is for the account whose Saved library you want to migrate.

Prefer the narrowest useful exportIf Meta lets you select specific information categories, avoid downloading or later uploading unrelated categories simply to move saved-post references.

Upload only the supported JSONSendlore currently needs saved_posts.json or saved_collections.json, not your entire Meta account archive.

Private posts can remain inaccessibleAn exported saved link does not give Sendlore permission to bypass a private account, login requirement, deleted post, or other Instagram access restriction.

Deleted content cannot be restored by the importIf a saved Instagram post was removed before Sendlore can read it, the old URL may be all that remains.

Your credentials are not requiredNever upload your Instagram password, login codes, browser cookies, or authentication secrets as part of this import.

Questions

Import Instagram saved posts FAQ

What Instagram files does Sendlore accept?

The current Sendlore importer supports saved_posts.json and saved_collections.json from an Instagram information export.

Should I choose JSON or HTML when exporting from Instagram?

Choose JSON for the Sendlore saved-post import. The current importer is designed around the structured JSON export files rather than an HTML copy meant mainly for human browsing.

Where do I request my Instagram information?

Meta currently manages these controls through Accounts Center under Your information and permissions. The exact labels can vary by interface, but use the export/download-your-information flow for the Instagram profile you want to migrate.

Do I upload the entire Meta ZIP file?

No. Extract the archive first, then upload the supported saved-post or saved-collection JSON file to Sendlore.

Will Sendlore import my Instagram collections exactly as they appear in Instagram?

Do not assume a perfect one-for-one recreation of Instagram’s collection structure. The migration’s primary job is to bring the saved source links into Sendlore, where you can organize them with Sendlore’s own folders, types, and tags.

Will every saved Instagram post be fully readable in Sendlore?

No. Instagram can restrict access to post content, and extraction varies. Some imported saves may contain only limited metadata while preserving the original link.

What happens if an Instagram post is already in Sendlore?

The current import review checks normalized URLs and can flag likely duplicates before you create the saves.

Does importing Instagram saved posts use credits?

Light import avoids full-processing credits for every item. Full AI can consume credits when Sendlore attempts richer processing of imported destinations.

Can I search imported Instagram saves with the rest of my research?

Yes. Imported Instagram items enter the normal Sendlore library and can participate in retrieval based on whatever searchable information was stored for them.

Move useful Instagram saves into your working library

Saved inspiration is more useful when it can reconnect with the project it was for.

Export the Instagram saved-content data you need, upload the supported JSON file, review the links, and keep the useful references beside everything else you research.
