Read Full Bio --------------------------------------------------------------------- There are all kinds of reasons to not have an Instagram account, from a general aversion to social media all the way to a dislike of Meta in particular. But there's also often information on Instagram that you can't find anywhere else--a nearby shop might list their alternative hours on the site. Instagram itself is quite aggressive about forcing you to sign in if you want to read such things, with pop-ups that tell you to sign up in order to see more. You can close the initial pop-up to browse the first few images but that doesn't let you click an image or read the caption, which is (annoyingly) right where the information you want is probably hiding. This is where the website Imginn comes in. This free, ad-supported site lets you browse any public Instagram page, without an Instagram account. To get started, head to the homepage and type the name of the account you want to browse. You'll see a list of results. Click the account you want to see and you can browse to your heart's content.

The site doesn't stop with image and video posts--you can also use this to browse both pinned and current stories. These are both things you usually can't see at all without logging in. Reels are also supported. What do you think so far? Is this useful if you already have an Instagram account? Mostly no, though it is nice to be able to download images, videos, and even stories--that's something you need special tools for otherwise. To me, though, the main use for Imginn is those moments when I need to quickly check something that is otherwise behind Instagram's walled garden without getting sucked into the rest of the ecosystem. It's perfect for people who don't have--and don't want--an Instagram account.
