InstaBlocks Embed Helper in your browser
Copy clean embed code for any Instagram post or reel while you browse, and see which Instagram embeds a page contains. Free, private and local.
Quick answer: InstaBlocks Embed Helper is a free browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Opera. On an Instagram post or reel it gives you the clean permalink and ready-to-paste embed code; on any other page it lists the Instagram embeds the page contains. Everything runs in your browser.
What it does
- Copy embed code: open any public Instagram post, reel or video and copy the blockquote embed, the iframe or the clean permalink in one click.
- Find embeds on a page: list every Instagram embed on any site with its link, type and whether it has rendered.
- Paste links: clean several links at once, drop tracking parameters and copy embed code for all of them.
How to install
- Download the zip above and unzip it to a folder you will keep.
- Open
chrome://extensions(oredge://extensions,opera://extensions) and switch on Developer mode. - Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder, then pin the extension from the puzzle-piece menu.
Firefox only keeps unsigned add-ons until it restarts (about:debugging, Load Temporary Add-on), so a Firefox build will come from the add-ons store once published.
Private by design
The extension runs entirely in your browser. It reads a page only when you open it, sends nothing anywhere, and needs no account. See the Developry privacy policy.
Prefer the web version?
The same kind of tools work in any browser tab: try the free Instagram embed code generator on this site, or get the InstaBlocks plugin for WordPress.
