Instagram Story Downloader

Open available Instagram Story photos and videos from public accounts in your browser without an Instagram login.

Open Instagram Story photos and videos

Use the Story Downloader to find currently available Story media from a public Instagram account. Returned photos and videos are shown separately so you can open the original media resource in a new browser tab.

  1. Enter the public username. Leave out the @ symbol.
  2. Load available Stories. The search runs without your Instagram login.
  3. Open the media. Select an image or video and use the normal browser options on your device.

Works on iPhone, Android and desktop

No special downloader app or browser extension is required. On mobile devices, saving options depend on the browser and operating system. On a computer, you can open an item in a separate tab before using the browser’s available save controls.

Availability and responsible use

Only active Story media that is accessible from a public account can be returned. Private, deleted, expired or Close Friends Stories cannot be retrieved. Respect copyright, privacy and publicity rights when saving or sharing media.
