Eleven tools, one extension, zero clutter.
Auto-Scroll & Load All Posts: Adds a button to automatically scroll to the bottom and pre-fetch every post's metadata via the Instagram API — so filtering is instant the moment scrolling finishes.
Filter Posts: Filter by Tagged Users, Caption Keywords, Excluded Terms, Date Range, Like Count (Min/Max), and Media Type (Photo, Video, or Carousel) — combine any filters for pinpoint results.
Sort Posts: Dedicated full-screen overlay to re-order all profile posts by Newest, Oldest, or Most Likes — available any time, with or without filters active.
Copy Post Links: Button on each filtered result thumbnail that instantly copies the post's direct URL to your clipboard — no tab-opening required.
Enlarge Post Images: Adds a button on post pages to open images and videos in a full-screen overlay with zoom, pan, and keyboard carousel navigation.
Scroll to Top: Quick one-click button to jump back to the profile top from anywhere on the page.
Profile Analytics Dashboard: 20+ metrics including engagement rate, average likes & comments, posting frequency, viral outlier detection, content type breakdown, caption & hashtag stats, and CSV/PDF export.
Quick Stats Badge: At-a-glance card injected instantly on every profile showing follower count, total posts, last post date, and estimated engagement rate — before you even scroll.
Follower History Tracking: Automatically snapshots a profile's follower count on each analytics visit and displays a growth timeline directly in the analytics dashboard.
Profile Comparison: Compare any two profiles side-by-side in a dedicated overlay with full stats, engagement rates, posting cadence, and contact details.
Remembered Filter Settings: Your last-used filter inputs are saved to local storage and automatically restored the next time you open the panel.

Grid Insights ("the Extension") is a Chrome browser extension that runs
exclusively on https://www.instagram.com/*. This policy explains what data
the Extension does and does not interact with.
The Extension does not collect, transmit, store externally, or share any of the following:
All processing happens entirely within your browser on your device:
csrftoken cookie that Instagram already
sets) and are indistinguishable from normal Instagram web traffic. No data is routed
through any third-party server.
localStorage): Your last-used filter
inputs — tagged user, caption keyword, exclusion terms, date range, like count bounds,
and sort order — are saved to your browser's localStorage under the key
ig_scroller_filter_state. This data lives only on your device, is never
transmitted anywhere, and can be cleared at any time by clearing site data for
instagram.com in your browser settings.
The Extension does not integrate with, load code from, or transmit data to any
third-party service. The only network requests the Extension initiates are to
www.instagram.com — the same domain you are already browsing.
This Extension requests no Chrome browser permissions beyond injecting
a content script into Instagram pages. The manifest.json declares an empty
permissions array. Specifically:
https://www.instagram.com/*:
Required to inject the extension's UI (scroll buttons, filter panel, sort overlay,
image viewer) into Instagram pages and to call Instagram's own APIs using your
existing session.
No tabs, storage, cookies, webRequest,
history, or any other sensitive Chrome API permissions are requested or used.
No data is retained on any external server — ever. The only persistent data is the
filter-preference object in your browser's localStorage, which is entirely
under your control and can be deleted at any time.
The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.
If this privacy policy is updated, the revised version will be published at this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Extension after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
