Three steps. No account.
StoriesDL finds the public media that Instagram already serves, then gives you a secure link to save it.
Three steps. No account.
- 01
Copy the post link
Open the public post in Instagram, tap the menu, and choose Copy link. Reels and IGTV links work the same way.
- 02
Paste and fetch
Drop the link into StoriesDL and press Get download links. We read the public post on our servers, never in your browser.
- 03
Choose your quality
Pick the photo size or video quality you need, then save it straight to your camera roll or Downloads folder.
Built for a clean, quick save
No pop-up maze, no fake download buttons, and no Instagram password. Just the public file you asked for.
Built for a clean, quick save
Best available quality
Choose from every size or video variant Instagram publishes for the post.
Carousels included
Every photo and video in a public carousel is listed separately, ready to save.

Built for modern mobile and desktop browsers. No app install needed.
Privacy by default
Media is streamed through our proxy and never stored on our servers.
Links that expire
Every download link is signed and short-lived, so it cannot be reused indefinitely.

Frequently asked questions
The short answers, without the fine-print maze.
Frequently asked questions
Is StoriesDL free?
Yes. The downloader is free to use. Advertising helps pay for servers and bandwidth, and you can reject non-essential cookies at any time.
Do I need an Instagram account?
No. StoriesDL only reads public posts. We never ask for your Instagram username, password, cookies, or session.
Can I download private posts, stories, or highlights?
No. Private posts, stories, highlights, live streams, and direct messages require a login, so they are not supported. We do not bypass access controls.
Does StoriesDL add a watermark?
No. We deliver the media file that Instagram publishes. If the original already contains a watermark, it will remain.
What quality will I get?
You get the best variants Instagram exposes for that post, plus smaller options where available. We cannot improve on the creator's original upload.
Have a public link ready?
Paste it above and save the photo, Reel, or video in the best available quality.
