Frequently Asked Questions

Will the person know I downloaded their Story?

Can I download both photos and videos from Stories?

Yes. Video stories save as MP4, photo stories save as JPG.

Can I download a Story after 24 hours?

Does this work with private accounts?

No. This tool only works with public accounts. For private profiles you follow, use our Private Instagram Downloader.

Is this tool free?

Where does the file save on my phone?
