How to Download Instagram Stories

Use the direct link while the public Story item is still available.

STEP 01

Copy the Story Link

While the active Story item is open, choose Share and tap "Copy link". Copying only the creator's profile URL will not work.

STEP 03

Save to Your Device

Save a photo Story as an image or a video Story in its available video format.

Photo & Video Detection

The page detects the Story media type and gives you the correct image or video download.

No Credentials Collected

You never enter an Instagram username or password. Stories that Instagram requires a login to access may not be available.

Availability Checked

Expired, deleted and private Stories cannot be recovered. Try the direct link before the Story's normal 24-hour window ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I copy a direct Instagram Story link?

While the Story is open, choose Share and then "Copy link". The direct URL must contain instagram.com/stories/, the username and a numeric Story item ID.

Can this downloader access private or login-only Stories?

No. The tool cannot access private Stories and does not accept Instagram credentials. Instagram may require authentication for some public Stories too; those cannot be fetched.

Can I download an expired Instagram Story?

No. A Story is normally available for about 24 hours. If it has expired, been deleted or its direct link no longer resolves, the downloader cannot recover it.

Can this tool download photo Stories?

Yes. Paste a direct active public Story item link. Photo Stories are saved as images and video Stories are saved as videos.

Can I repost a downloaded Instagram Story?

Only download or reuse content you own or have permission to use. Copyright and other rights remain with the original creator; downloading does not grant republication rights.
