FAQ

Q: Is my Instagram data safe? A: Yes, the application runs locally on your computer and does not send your data anywhere. It only reads the data files you provide.

Q: Why does the application need an Instagram data export? A: Instagram does not provide a public API to access this information. Using your data export is the most reliable way to analyze your account.

Q: How often should I update my data? A: Instagram data exports only provide a snapshot of your account. For the most current information, request a new data export from Instagram.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

1. Make sure you've downloaded your Instagram data in HTML format (not JSON)
2. Check that your ZIP file is not corrupted
3. Ensure you have sufficient disk space for extraction
