About Shadowly | Free Public Instagram & TikTok Profile Viewer

Shadowly is a free web tool for exploring public Instagram profiles without an account. Type a username and see the profile, posts, active stories, highlights, reels and follower lists in one place. No sign-up, no app, only a browser.

What we do

We built Shadowly for people who want a quick, simple look at a public profile without logging in to Instagram.

View public profiles. Profile details, recent posts and every image of a carousel. Watch stories anonymously. Shadowly doesn’t use your Instagram account, so the account owner can’t see that you watched. Browse highlights and reels. Save public reels as MP4 files in one tap. Review follower and following lists. For public accounts. Analyze profiles. Use the engagement rate calculator, profile analyzer and creator report to see what the numbers actually say, for both Instagram and TikTok. Who it’s for People who want to look at a public profile without logging in Brands and agencies who want to check a creator before working together Creators and influencers who want to understand their own engagement Anyone researching a competitor or a public figure Private by design

Shadowly never asks for your Instagram username or password. If a website claiming to be Shadowly asks for either, it is fake.

What Shadowly can’t do

We’d rather be clear about the limits:

Private accounts stay private. Their content is shared only with approved followers, and Shadowly does not bypass that. It is read-only. You can’t follow, like or comment through Shadowly. Estimates are estimates. Sponsorship rate figures in the creator report are rough guides based on followers, engagement and views. They are not official price lists. Respecting creators

Content on Instagram and TikTok belongs to its owners. You can save public content for personal reference, but please get permission before you republish it. If you are an account owner and want your profile removed from Shadowly, you can submit a request on our Remove an Account page.

Independent tool

Shadowly is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc. or TikTok.
