Thank you for your feedback. If PhotoShow cannot find a larger pic for a certain thumbnail, the image viewer will not show up. The profile avatar on an Instagram profile page is right the case. If you know where to find a larger image for this, please let me know. Thanks.
There is a page where you can download the profile picture in 1080x1080p.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a site that saves the profile picture as a larger image.
And you can remove the prefix from the end result link: "https://www.save-insta.com/cdn/"
I hope I can somehow write an algorithm that you can use in your script.
Thank you for the supplements. These third-party apps/websites might be using Instagram Platform APIs to fetch these higher-definition images which I could not find anywhere directly from Instagram itself. Doing so would be an over-hit for PhotoShow now and there might be other concerns. I'll leave PhotoShow as is for Instagram unless one day a better and easier approach to fetching these HD images shows up.
Just FYI, I managed to make it work for the profile pics in update 4.21.0 as well. Enjoy it!
Thanks a lot, it's good :) The only thing is that the profile picture zoom works for the public pages I follow, but if I go to a private page that I don't follow and try to zoom from there, it doesn't work.
Do you know a fix for this?
Great to know, currently I can't see a reliable way to make it work for private profiles, however, there's a workaround I can think of, less reliable but will work for now. I'll add it to the next update of PhotoShow. Thanks.

You've reached the end. You have seen all new posts from the last 3 days.
PhotoShow only applies some generic rules to avoid working on these decorative/servicing items, as opposed to marking cases individually for obvious reasons. In fact, the case you mentioned is a poor implementation of Instagram as they should not use an image element here (an icon or other element with a background image is preferred, in terms of web semantics). I'll leave this as is. Thanks.
Able to view profile images of private accounts since update 4.22. Cheers.
I noticed a new bug. Unfortunately Instagram Stories are broken since few days. No enlargement of the image appears at all.
Looks like Ins has changed this part a bit again... gonna need a fix. Thanks.
Fixed with update 4.23.0 (please refer to #120).
I use the latest Google Chrome on Windows 11, and enlarging the profile picture does not work on Instagram. I attached a screenshot.
