Best Instagram Story Downloader: Save Stories by Username or URL

The best Instagram story downloader should be free, work without login, and let you save stories either by username (all current stories) or by pasting a story URL (one story). Here's what to look for and how our tool fits the bill.

What makes a good story downloader?

No login required — you shouldn't have to give your Instagram password.
Two modes: username (all stories) and story URL (single story).
Good quality — photos and videos in the best resolution available.
Fast and simple — paste and download, no extra steps.
Works in the browser — no mandatory app install.

Download by username

When you enter an Instagram username, you get every story that account has posted in the last 24 hours. Each story can have multiple snaps; you can preview and download them one by one. This is the best option when you want to save several stories from the same profile.

Download by story URL

When you have a direct link to a story (e.g. instagram.com/stories/username/123/), paste it into the downloader to get only that story. You'll see a carousel of its snaps and can download each. Ideal when someone shares a single story with you.

Summary

Our Instagram story downloader supports both methods, requires no login, and delivers high-quality downloads. Use the Stories page and enter a username or URL to get started.
