As most of us know, social media pretty much dominates the world. One social media platform that continues to enjoy tremendous success is Instagram. On Instagram, users can follow friends, family, celebrities, and even politicians, as they post their day-to-day lives or whatever is happening in their world. So, what if you wanted to save an Instagram picture or video from a public account but don’t want to log in to do so? Picuki is a website that not only allows this but does so anonymously.

PICUKI IS AN INSTAGRAM BROWSER, VIEWER, AND EDITOR

So, what exactly is Picuki? Well, it’s an Instagram browser, viewer, and editor all rolled into one. This online tool allows users to get onto Instagram without having to log in and also allows them to download any pictures or videos from a public account.

Along with it being an Instagram browser, Picuki will also show anyone’s profile that isn’t set to private. It gives the ability to see not only their pictures, but their stories as well, and save them. It allows the viewer to see a picture’s full caption without having to tap down.

As an editor, Picuki allows the user to download a photo and then maneuver it how they wish. The app can filter photos, crop, adjust the photo’s saturation, contrast, and many other things that Instagram doesn’t do. When done, the new image can be saved on a device.

PICUKI IS SIMPLE TO USE

Picuki is very simple to use. It can start one of two main ways – 1) view photos or videos from an account search or 2) view photos or videos from a hashtag search. Using either method, it’s easy to find any public account.

The first thing to do is open the Picuki website. If using the account search, simply enter the party’s Instagram account directly into the Picuki search bar. Hit the lookup button and Picuki will then display all Instagrams related to the specific Instagram account entered. From there, all the pictures and videos from a search will be displayed.

If wishing to download a specific picture or video, click on the picture or video and then hit “download”. The picture will then download to the Picuki website and can be edited or saved.

With the hashtag search, there are similar steps as with an account search. Go into the Picuki website and click on the search window. From there, simply enter the hashtag and hit the search button. Once the search is complete, hit the “tags” button to see the search results. The candidate hashtags are then displayed, making it easy to find the exact one.

As a photo editor, this is one of Picuki’s greatest features. It is also one of the reasons people flock to their website. As mentioned, the app allows a picture view while also allowing users to add filters, crop photos, or adjust contrast, saturation, and exposure.

PICUKI ALLOWS FOR ANONYMOUS INSTAGRAM SEARCHES

Typically, when on Instagram and looking at someone’s account, there’s a digital footprint left behind. This means that if viewing something on Instagram, data is shared with that account, so they know who is tracking them.

Anonymity is one of Picuki’s main drawing points. Sometimes, folks just want to move around Instagram without the account holder knowing. This is especially handy when someone doesn’t have an Instagram account and does not wish to create one. On Picuki, search for an account holder anonymously, view their pictures and videos, look at their profile, and download photos from these accounts all without them knowing.

IT IS A LEGAL SERVICE

While it may skirt the boundaries of what is right or wrong, Picuki is 100% legal to use. Not only is it legal, but it is also a very safe and simple way to enjoy Instagram without having any of the complications Instagram may toss your way. And it’s free to use.

So, we know the things that can be done with Picuki (safely download Instagram pictures and videos, edit said material, etc.) but what are the few things that the Picuki website will not allow users to do?

Firstly, account information and profile descriptions can’t be changed within Picuki. For that, users will need to be on Instagram in order to make any changes. Also, Instagram posts can’t be created on Picuki. Additionally, commenting or live streaming can’t happen on Picuki. Finally, the app doesn’t allow for downloading anything from private accounts.

PICTURES CAN BE DELETED BUT A FORM IS NEEDED

Although Picuki makes it very easy to access public material for perusal, downloading, and editing pleasure, removing material may be a bit more difficult. First off, the easiest way to not have content displayed is to simply make an Instagram account private. That way Picuki and similar websites won’t have access.

But if downloading content through Picuki and eventually wishing to delete it, there is a hoop or two to jump through to make this happen. Content can often be seen and is accessible like on normal websites.

To remove content from Picuki, there is a form to fill out. There, Picuki asks for an email, the URL, and a message stating the desire to remove all content. Picuki says it would then take their team 2-3 days to fully remove all content in question.

In all, Picuki is an excellent, and anonymous way to use Instagram for those looking to stay a bit off the radar.
