A free, private, and fully offline Instagram chat reader. Upload your Instagram data export and read all your direct messages locally in your browser — no server, no account required, no data ever leaves your device.
Download your Instagram data archive from the Instagram app or website, then open it here to browse all your DMs, group chats, and message history in a clean, easy-to-read format.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your Instagram archive is read locally and is never uploaded, stored, or shared. No login. No tracking.
Go to your Instagram profile, open Settings, then tap "Your activity" and select "Download your information." Choose JSON format and request your data. Instagram will email you a download link, usually within 24-48 hours. Once downloaded, open the ZIP file here to read your chats.
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files are never sent anywhere.
This viewer supports Instagram's HTML export format. When requesting your data from Instagram, make sure to select "HTML" as the format, not JSON.
You can read any messages included in your Instagram data export. Unless the users deleted their account. In that case it's better to sift through the archive yourself.
Yes, this Instagram chat viewer works on desktop and mobile browsers without needing to install any app.
