Save public story photos and videos in the best available quality, anonymously and for free.
Safari saves files to the Downloads folder in the Files app. To move a video to Photos, open it in Files, tap Share and choose Save Video. Full walkthrough: download Instagram stories on iPhone.
Chrome saves to Downloads, and the files appear in Google Photos under "Downloads". See Android and PC guide.
Files go to your browser's default download folder, usually Downloads.
We don't re-compress anything. The downloader gives you the same file the provider returns, which is normally the highest resolution Instagram serves: up to 1080×1920 for photos and HD for videos.
Downloads follow the same public-only rules described in how it works and safety.
Stories are the creator's work. Personal, offline reference is generally fine. Re-posting, editing out watermarks or selling someone else's content is not. If you are a rights holder, see our DMCA page.
No. Instagram doesn't notify for story screenshots or downloads, and IGPVSTORY doesn't use an account at all, so there is nothing to trigger.

Our tools
Each tool has its own page and does one job well.
Story Viewer
Paste a public username and every live story loads as a tidy grid with timestamps. Open any photo or video in the browser and your name never lands in the viewer list, because no Instagram account is involved.
Open Story ViewerHighlights Viewer
Highlights are the stories an account chose to keep: menus, reviews, travel diaries and FAQs. Load every cover, then open a collection to see the stories inside, quietly and without following.
Open Highlights ViewerProfile Viewer
Instagram never lets you zoom into a profile picture. Our profile viewer shows the largest version available, uncropped, together with the bio and follower, following and post counts.
