Download Instagram Story
Instagram Stories vanish after 24 hours — to download an Instagram Story video before it's gone, copy the story's link, paste it here, and save the MP4. Fast, free, and no login required.
This works for public accounts' stories: the video downloads in its original vertical quality with audio. Highlights (the saved stories on a profile) work the same way — if the account is public, the story file is fetchable.
A note on anonymity: viewing or downloading a public story via a tool doesn't add you to the story's viewer list the way watching in-app does. We don't log who downloads what beyond a short-lived abuse-prevention cache.
By using this tool you agree to our Terms of Service — download only content you have the right to save.
