Instagram Story Downloader
Save public Instagram Stories and Highlights as video or photo before they disappear. Anonymous, no login.
Keep Stories after the 24 hours are up
Instagram Stories vanish 24 hours after they are posted, and the app only lets you save your own. The Instagram Story downloader saves Stories from public accounts as MP4 video or JPG photo, so an event date, a recipe, or a tutorial does not disappear with them.
It also saves Highlights, the Stories an account pins to its profile, so you can keep a whole album at once.
How to download Instagram Stories
Copy the Story link
Open the public Story or Highlight, tap the three dots (⋮), then tap "Copy Link".
Paste the link
Paste the copied link into the box above, or tap the Paste icon.
Then press Enter
Download the Story
Each Story is listed. Click "Download" to save it as MP4 video or JPG photo.
Which Story links work
| One Story | Links like instagram.com/stories/username/1234…/ save that single Story. |
|---|---|
| All current Stories | Links like instagram.com/stories/username/ list every Story the account has up right now. |
| Highlights | Links like instagram.com/stories/highlights/1234…/ list every item in that Highlight. |
| Expired Stories | Not available. Once a Story is older than 24 hours and not in a Highlight, Instagram no longer serves it. |
How to download on iPhone, Android, and PC
| iPhone & iPad | Copy the link in Instagram, open Safari, paste it here, and tap Download. Safari saves the MP4 or JPG to Files → Downloads. Open it, tap Share, and choose Save Video or Save Image to move it to Photos. |
|---|---|
| Android | Copy the link, open Chrome or any browser, paste it here, and tap Download. The Story lands in the Download folder and shows up in Gallery or Google Photos. |

Frequently asked questions
Does the person know if I download their Story?
No. ReelsDl.net fetches public Stories without your Instagram account, so your name does not appear in the Story's viewer list and the owner is not notified.
Can I download Stories from a private account?
No. Stories from private accounts and Close Friends Stories are visible only to the people the owner approved. ReelsDl.net only works with public accounts.
Can I download a Story that has expired?
Only if the owner added it to a Highlight. After 24 hours, a Story that is not in a Highlight is no longer available from Instagram.
Do downloaded Stories keep their music?
Stories posted as video are saved as MP4 with the sound Instagram serves. If a Story appears in the results as a photo, it was served as a still image and has no audio track to save.
How do I download Instagram Highlights?
Open the Highlight on the profile, tap the three dots, choose Copy Link, and paste it here. Every Story in the Highlight is listed with its own Download button.
