Download Instagram Stories before they disappear. Save Story videos and photos from public accounts. Free, fast, anonymous.
Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours, but sometimes you want to save one — maybe it's a meaningful moment from a friend, a deal you don't want to forget, or content you want to reference later. Our free Story downloader saves any public Instagram Story as a video or photo file before it vanishes. No login, completely anonymous.
Stories are Instagram's most ephemeral content format — they vanish after 24 hours unless saved as Highlights. People save Stories to remember important moments before they expire, archive promotional content with deal codes or sale info, save tutorials and how-tos that won't be available tomorrow, and download their own Stories before they disappear from their feed.
Unlike viewing a Story directly (which sends a notification to the poster that you watched it), downloading a Story through our tool is completely anonymous. We fetch the Story from Instagram's public CDN without registering a view. The Story owner has no way of knowing the Story was saved.
Stories that the original poster has added to their Highlights remain available indefinitely, so you can download them whenever. Active Stories (within the 24-hour window) can also be downloaded. Once a Story expires and isn't in a Highlight, it's gone from Instagram's servers and we can't recover it. So if you see a Story you want to save, download it the same day.
