How to download Instagram Stories
The steps differ slightly between the Instagram app on a phone and the website on a computer, so both are below.
On iPhone or Android
- 1
Find the post in the Instagram app
Open the Reel, photo or carousel you want. It needs to be on a public account — one you can view while signed out.
- 2
Tap the three dots, then Copy link
On a Reel the menu is on the right-hand rail; on a feed post it is at the top-right of the post. Choose "Copy link".
- 3
Paste it here
Every slide of a carousel appears separately, so you can take one image or all of them.
On a computer
- 1
Open instagram.com and click into the post
Click the post so it opens in its own view and the URL becomes instagram.com/p/... or /reel/...
- 2
Copy the URL from the address bar
A profile URL will not work — it has to point at a specific post.
- 3
Paste and pick your files
Choose the resolution for video, or save the photos at their original dimensions.
What the Instagram downloader handles
Reels at source quality
The full-resolution vertical file Instagram holds for that Reel, not the compressed copy the feed plays.
Whole carousels
One link gives you every slide in the post as a separate file, images and videos alike, in order.
Original photos
Feed photos download as the largest JPEG Instagram stores, rather than the smaller display version.
Audio as MP3
Pull the sound out of a Reel when you only need the track or the voiceover.
Public accounts only
Content from private accounts, and Stories you would need to be logged in to see, are not reachable and are not attempted.
No account needed
You never sign in to Instagram here and we never ask for your password.
The free Instagram story downloader that just works
Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours. This downloader saves a public Story's video or photo so you can keep it. Paste the Story link while it's live and download it in original quality — no login and no notification to the poster.
The post type matters more on Instagram than on most platforms. A Reel is a single vertical video; a carousel is up to twenty separate images and videos under one URL; a Story expires after twenty-four hours. Each is handled as what it actually is, so a carousel link gives you every slide as its own file instead of only the first one.
24-hour rescue
Save public Stories in full quality before they expire.
Audio as MP3
Pull the sound out of a Reel when you only need the track or the voiceover.
Public accounts only
Content from private accounts, and Stories you would need to be logged in to see, are not reachable and are not attempted.
No account needed
You never sign in to Instagram here and we never ask for your password.
Safe & private
No account to hack, no files stored on our servers, and every transfer is encrypted. We only download public content you have the right to save.
Instagram downloader — questions
Can I download Instagram Stories anonymously?
You can download public Stories without logging in. Private Stories can't be accessed.
Can I download Instagram Stories?
Only Stories on public accounts that are viewable without signing in. Stories from private accounts require being an approved follower, and this tool has no access to them. Stories also disappear after 24 hours, so a link to an expired one will not resolve.
Why is the downloaded photo bigger than what I saw in the app?
Because the app serves a display copy sized for your screen, while this fetches the largest version Instagram kept when the photo was uploaded. It is the same image, just not downscaled for a phone.
