+**_Graphical User Interface Instagram Downloader_**
+
+## Introduction
+<p>Have you ever wanted to download a post from Instagram? and realise that Instagram does not provide a download option.
+   Well in this tutorial we will create our own Instagram Post downloader.<p>
+
+## Instaloader
+In this project we will be using <a href="https://instaloader.github.io">Instaloader</a>, the Instaloader module is a Python package having great functionalities to scrap instagram, it's functions can be used as command-line utility.It is a tool to download pictures or videos along with their captions and other metadata from Instagram.
+**How to Install:**
+With Python already installed, do:
+```py

+```
+See <a href="https://instaloader.github.io/installation.html#install"> Install Instaloader</a> for more options on how to install Instaloader.
+
+## Tkinter
+Python has a lot of GUI frameworks, but Tkinter is the only framework that’s built into the Python standard library. Tkinter has several strengths. It’s cross-platform, so the same code works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Visual elements are rendered using native operating system elements, so applications built with Tkinter look like they belong on the platform where they’re run.

+
+## Explanation
+<p> Import the required Libraries and Modules </P>
+
+```py
+import qrcode
+from tkinter import ttk
+from tkinter import *
+from tkinter import messagebox
+from tkinter import filedialog
+from PIL import ImageTk, Image
+from  instaloader import Instaloader, Post
+import threading
+import os
+```
+
+<p>function for downloading User profile picture </p>
+
+
+```py
+def download_profile():
+  def download_image():
+    try:
+      location = filedialog.askdirectory()
+      os.chdir(location)
+      #Profile Picture starts downloading here.
+      obj = Instaloader()
+      profile = profile_pic_input.get()
+      obj.download_profile(profile, profile_pic_only = True)
+      messagebox.showinfo('STATUS','Profile Image Downloaded Successfully')
+    except:
+      messagebox.showerror('ERROR','Username Is Incorrect or Does Not Exist')
+  # Thread is a separate flow of execution. This means that our program will have two things happening at once
+  threading.Thread(target = download_image).start()
+```
+
+<p> Function for downloading image by URL</P>
+
+
+```py
+def download_post(  ):
+  # Get url from user by GUI input (Entry)
+  link = post_input.get()
+  def media():
+    if 'https://www.instagram.com/p/' in link :
+      location = filedialog.askdirectory()
+      os.chdir(location)
+      L = Instaloader()
+      try :
+        L.login(Username,Password)
+      except :
+        messagebox.showerror('ERROR','Username or Password is Wrong')
+      try :
+          short_link = link[28:39]
+          post = Post.from_shortcode(L.context , short_link)
+          L.download_post(post,target = short_link)
+          messagebox.showinfo('STATUS','Download Completed !')
+      except :
+          messagebox.showerror('ERROR','Link Not Found,please enter the link of the image')
+    else :
+      messagebox.showerror('ERROR','URL Is Incorrect')
+  # thread is a separate flow of execution. This means that our program will have two things happening at once
+  threading.Thread(target = media).start()
+```
+
+
+<p> To create a tkinter GUI frame</p>
+
+
+
+```py
+root = Tk()
+# Define the geometry
+root.geometry('300x300')
+root.resizable(False,False)
+# Set the title of tkinter frame
+root.title('Instagram Downloader')
+# Set the background of tkinter frame
+root.config(background = 'grey')
+Icon = PhotoImage(file='img\\Icon.png')
+root.iconphoto(False,Icon)
+```
+
+
+This function takes the Username and Password and pass them to the new_window function 
+
+
+```py
+def caller():
+  Username = username_entry.get()
+  Password = password_entry.get()
+  if Username and Password :
+    new_window(Username,Password)
+  else :
+    messagebox.showerror('Error','You have to enter your Username and Password')
+```
+
+  The new_window function
+
+
+```py
+def new_window(Username,Password):
+  # created a new tkinter gui window frame
+  new_window = Toplevel(root)
+  # Define the geometry
+  new_window.geometry('600x600')
+  new_window.resizable(False,False)
+  # Set the title of tkinter frame
+  new_window.title('Instagram Downloader')
+  # Set the background of tkinter frame
+  new_window.config(background = 'grey')
+  Icon = PhotoImage(file='img\\Icon.png')
+  new_window.iconphoto(False,Icon)
+
+  # Load an image
+  load_img = Image.open('img\image.jpg')
+  # Resize the image using resize method
+  resize_img = load_img.resize((150,150),Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
+  # Create an object of tkinter ImageTk and pass the resized image to it
+  img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(resize_img)
+  # Create a Label Widget to display the Image
+  label_img = ttk.Label(new_window,image = img)
+  label_img.place(x = 30,y = 20)
+
+  # Create a Label Widget to display the text next to the img
+  label_img_text = Label(new_window , text = 'Instagram' , bg = 'grey' , fg = 'white' , font = ('Calibri' , 50 , 'bold'))
+  label_img_text.place(x = 230 , y = 45)
+  # Creat a Label Widget to display the hint text
+  hint_text=Label(new_window , text = '* Enter the Username of your desired account in below to download profile picture *' , bg = 'grey' , fg = 'yellow' , font = ('Calibri' , 10))
+  hint_text.place(x = 60 , y = 220)
+  hint_text2=Label(new_window , text = '* Enter the Link of your desire Image from instagram in below to download it *' , bg = 'grey' , fg = 'yellow' , font = ('Calibri' , 10))
+  hint_text2.place(x = 70 , y = 360)
+
+  # Set the current value of the input with a StringVar object
+  Current_value = StringVar()
+  # Set input to receive username and download the profile picture
+  profile_pic_input = ttk.Entry(new_window , textvariable = Current_value , width = 35)
+  # the Entry widget has focus, it’s ready to accept the user input
+  profile_pic_input.focus()
+  profile_pic_input.place(x = 190 , y = 260)
+
+  # Set the current value of the input with a StringVar object
+  Current_value2 = StringVar()
+  # Set input to recieve instagram image or video URL
+  post_input = ttk.Entry(new_window , textvariable = Current_value2 , width = 35)
+  # the Entry widget has focus, it’s ready to accept the user input
+  post_input.focus()
+  post_input.place(x = 190 , y = 400)
+  ...
