Instagram Story Downloader — Save a Public Story Link

Instagram Stories are amazing — but they disappear after 24 hours. Our free Instagram Story Downloader lets you save any public Instagram Story as a permanent video or photo file on your device, before it vanishes forever.

Whether you want to save a friend's Story, a brand announcement, a tutorial, or any other public content, our Instagram Story Saver makes it incredibly simple. Just copy the Story URL and paste it into our tool — no apps, no logins, no watermarks.

Need to Browse Stories by Username?

Use our dedicated Instagram Stories Viewer when you want to enter a public username, browse active Stories and Highlights, and choose individual items to download. Keeping that workflow separate makes it easier to start with the input you have: a Story link here, or a username in the viewer.

Download Instagram Stories on iPhone

On iPhone, open the Instagram Story in Safari or the app, copy the link, and paste it into our Story Downloader. Tap Download and choose "Save to Photos" or save via the Files app.

Download Instagram Stories on Android

Android users can paste the Story link into our downloader in Chrome and tap Download. The file will be saved to your Downloads folder and will appear in your Gallery.

Instagram Story Downloader vs Screen Recording

Screen recording adds black bars, reduces quality, captures notification banners, and produces large files. Our Story Downloader gives you the original crisp file with proper aspect ratio, full audio, and HD quality — every time.
