SnapInsta alternative

Try these alternatives that keep quality high and stay fast:

DFviewer: preserves source resolution (up to 4K), fast CDN, merges audio/video; cons: no private/stories.

Picnobi: stable and sharp, but peak-time rate limits can slow downloads.

Instaloader (CLI): very reliable quality; slower and needs setup.

iGram/SnapDownloader: quick UI; quality varies and ads.

Why the gap? Different CDNs, API rate limits, on-the-fly transcodes, and missing DASH merging lead to blur or slowdowns.
