Pro Tips

Stories expire in 24 hours

Download Stories before they disappear. Once the 24-hour window passes, Stories are no longer accessible unless saved to Highlights.

Download your own Stories

Save your Stories as backups or to repurpose elsewhere. Instagram archives Stories, but downloading gives you direct access to the files.

Both photos and videos work

This tool handles Story photos and videos. Download single frames or full video clips depending on the Story content.

Private Stories stay private

You can only download Stories from public accounts or accounts you follow. Private Stories from restricted accounts are not accessible.

Download Instagram Stories Before They Expire

Instagram Stories disappear after 24 hours unless you save them manually. This downloader lets you save any public Story before it vanishes. You get photos and videos directly on your device, ready to repost or keep as archives.

The tool works anonymously, so viewing and downloading Stories through this tool does not register as a view on the original account. Perfect for downloading content without alerting the poster.

Both photos and videos download at the same quality Instagram stores. Story videos typically come in 1080p vertical format, and photos are high resolution. All visible elements like text, stickers, and filters are included in the download.

Use this to save your own Stories as backups, download entertaining content before it expires, or grab reference material from other accounts. Just paste the Story URL or username, select the Story you want, and download.

Remember that Stories are often more casual and personal than feed posts. Respect privacy and only download and share Stories you have permission to use. Just because something is public does not mean the creator wants it reposted.

  • Anonymous downloading without registering views
  • High quality 1080p video and full resolution photos
  • Save Stories before they expire in 24 hours
