How to save Instagram Stories before they disappear

Guide · 1 min read

Instagram Stories vanish after 24 hours. Here's how to keep the ones you're allowed to save, plus Reels and photo posts.

Save a Story

1. Open the public Story and copy its link (tap ••• → Copy link, or copy the profile/story URL on desktop).
2. Paste it into WeSaveAll and press Download.
3. Save the video or image to your device.

Stories are only accessible while they're live and only from public accounts. Private accounts and expired stories can't be retrieved.

Also works for

• Reels & video posts → Instagram video downloader
• Photo posts & carousels → Instagram slide / photo downloader
• Stories → Instagram story downloader

On your phone

Everything works the same in your mobile browser — no app needed. Tap ••• → Copy link, paste into wesaveall.com, and download to your camera roll.
