Save any public Instagram story as a photo or video in seconds. No app install, no login, and the account owner never finds out.
Enter a username, @handle, or Instagram link
Open Instagram, find the account whose story you want to save, and copy their @handle — or copy the direct story link if you already have one.
Drop the handle or link into the box above and hit enter. StorySnag looks up every story currently live on that profile.
Tap any story thumbnail to preview it at full resolution, then download the photo or video directly to your device.
Paste a username or story link below — no sign-up required.

Yes. StorySnag fetches stories anonymously through Instagram's public data — the account you're downloading from is never notified.
Instagram stories disappear 24 hours after they're posted, so grab the ones you want before they expire. Stories saved to a profile's Highlights stay available much longer.
No. You don't need to follow the account or even have an Instagram account yourself — the profile just needs to be public.
Photo stories download as JPG and video stories download as MP4, both at the original resolution Instagram stores.
Downloading public content for personal viewing is generally fine. Just avoid republishing or redistributing someone else's content without their permission.
