Photos and Videos
Both kinds of story download. Each saves as its own file, with nothing to convert afterwards.
Instagram Story Downloader
Veilanto's Instagram story downloader saves public IG stories before they disappear. Enter any public account's username, open a story, and tap download — photos and videos both save as files, straight from your browser, with no login and no app. Stories from private accounts cannot be opened or saved.

What Is an Instagram Story Downloader?
An Instagram story downloader saves a story to your own device as a file. Stories are built to disappear: unless the account owner adds one to Highlights, it is gone 24 hours after it was posted. Downloading is the only way to keep a copy.
This one works in the browser. Enter the username of a public account, open any of its current stories, and download it — a photo arrives as an image file, a video as a video file. Nothing to install and nothing to sign in to.
Because you never sign in to Instagram here, your own account is never involved and never appears in the account owner's viewer list. The tool can only open public accounts; stories from private accounts are not available to open or to save.
How to Download Instagram Stories
Enter the Username
Type the username of a public Instagram account into the search field — with or without the @.
Open the Story
The account's current stories load in a few seconds. Open the one you want to keep.
Tap Download
Tap the download button on the story. A photo saves as an image file and a video as a video file, to your device's downloads.
What the Story Downloader Does
No Login, No App
Nothing to sign in to and nothing to install. Open the page, enter a username, download.
Before It Disappears
A story lasts 24 hours unless it is added to Highlights. Downloading keeps a copy after it is gone from Instagram.
Why Download a Story Instead of Screenshotting It
A screenshot keeps one frame of a video and the interface on top of it. A download keeps the story itself — the whole video, or the photo without the buttons over it.
When People Download Instagram Stories
Keeping Something Before It Expires
A recipe, an event date, a tutorial, a product link: stories that are useful for longer than 24 hours. Downloading keeps a copy you can come back to.
Research for Marketing and Content Work
Marketers and creators save stories from brands and public accounts to compare formats, track campaigns and study what performs, without relying on the story still being live next week.
Keeping Your Own Stories
If a story of your own did not reach your archive, or you want a file to reuse elsewhere, you can download it from your public profile the same way.
Do's and Don'ts of Downloading Instagram Stories
Downloading a story gives you a copy of it, not the right to publish it. The content still belongs to the person who posted it.
Nothing to Sign In To
You never enter an Instagram password here, and no Instagram account of yours is connected to the download.
Respect the Creator
Keep downloads for your own reference. Do not repost, sell or reuse someone else's story without their permission.
Public Accounts Only
Stories can be opened and downloaded from public accounts. Private accounts are not available.
FAQ
A username, up to 30 characters, made of letters, digits, dots and underscores. The @ is optional, 2 dots in a row are not, and a full profile URL is not accepted — the field checks that before anything is sent.
Nothing: the price is 0, there are 0 apps to install and 0 accounts to create. All 5 viewers on this site work the same way and none of them asks for a card.
Yes. Both kinds of story download, and each saves as its own file: a photo as an image, a video as a video. The file is saved as the story is served, so there is nothing to convert afterwards.
No. You never sign in to Instagram here and never create an account. Enter the username of a public account, open a story and download it.
Your own Instagram account does not appear in it, because you never sign in here — no account of yours is involved in opening or downloading the story.
No. Only public accounts can be opened, so stories from private accounts can be neither viewed nor downloaded here.
For as long as it is live on Instagram: 24 hours after it was posted, unless the owner adds it to Highlights. Once a story has expired, it can no longer be opened here.
Yes. Downloading stories costs nothing, and there is no sign-up, trial or payment step.
