Save high resolution images with instagram

I am writing a desktop application that requires downloading images from Instagram (primarily those that belong to the authenticated user in this application). When I try to request images via api (be it users / self / channel or media / {id}), I can only see links to 612px x 612px images inside the returned JSON data. So, the main question:

Q1) Can I save an image with a resolution higher than 612 x 612 using the API?

They claim ( http://help.instagram.com/276722745781769/ ) that when photographs are taken from the instagram app, images uploaded to the instagram site are saved with a resolution higher than this. So I took a few shots using the Instagram application installed on the iPhone 4, and tried to access them from a PC. The API console still shows only the URLs of images 612x612 (standard_resolution) and not higher. I also tried several free desktop applications that supposedly help download images from Instagram, such as Instagram Downloader 2.3.0.0 (free) and some others, without being able to access 612x612 resolutions.

So, if the answer to Q1 is yes, I would also like to know:

Q2) How can I access higher resolution images through the API?

These questions, imo, are very natural, so I have the feeling that I forgot something obvious.

To answer your question:

High-resolution versions of Instagram photos are saved on your device after uploading the photo to Instagram. This means that you are the only one who has access to high-resolution versions of your photos.

No, you cannot get high-resolution versions if you do not have access to the device that took the picture.

In addition, this is a bad form for creating a new account to ask a question that you have already asked, which has not been answered. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16691832/save-high-resolution-images-in-instagram is the same question. Please refrain from this in the future.

If you are not the original advise, you must reschedule the question or post a comment. Duplicates will be closed.
