I created Memento Mori, an open source (LGPL) tool that transforms Instagram’s messy data exports into a clean self-hosted archive with a familiar interface. It optimizes media files, fixes encoding issues, and protects your privacy by removing sensitive data. Use it with Docker or Python.
My export had 450 JSON files and 4500 other files, and it took a lot of poking around to get a lay of the land. Also, not sure what the deal was, but the export also contained ~300 pictures that had incorrect extensions – i.e. heic extension but actually jpeg when you look at the contents.
