Instagram: Show profile picture big - this is how it works

Unlike other social networks, Instagram does not directly allow you to show a profile picture big. Nevertheless, to enlarge an image and view it closely, you need additional tools. We show you how to use them correctly.

Show Instagram profile picture big: With these tools it works

While you can display other users' profile pictures on Facebook or WhatsApp in large size simply by tapping on them, this is not possible on Instagram. To enlarge an Instagram profile picture anyway, you need additional tools.

1. For example, enlarging an Instagram profile picture is possible with the app Qeek for Instagram. You can find the app in the Play Store or App Store and download it to your mobile device for free.
2. After that, you only have to enter the profile's username and the profile picture will be displayed large on your screen.
3. If you don't want to install an extra app to view Instagram profile pictures in large size, we recommend using the portal Izuum.
4. To use this, please call up the website izuum.com in the browser and type the username in the "Username" field.
5. Once you have confirmed your entry with the Enter key, the enlarged profile picture appears.

Instagram: With this detour let you view the profile picture large

If you could not enlarge the profile picture by using Izuum or Qeek for Instagram, respectively, there is another way. For this, you need to open the browser app on your mobile device and go to the desired Instagram profile. Then, press and hold the profile picture, open it in a new tab and zoom in to enlarge it.
