Save Instagram photos and Reels in seconds

Paste a public Instagram link. We prepare the original photo, video, or carousel in the best available quality — no app, no login, and no watermark added.

Works with public posts, Reels, videos, carousels, and IGTV.

By continuing, you confirm that you have the right to save this content.

Only download content you own or have permission to use. StoriesDL is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.

  • No Instagram login
  • Best available quality
  • No watermark added

Three steps. No account.

StoriesDL finds the public media that Instagram already serves, then gives you a secure link to save it.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

No account required

We never ask for your Instagram username, password, or cookies. Public links only.

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.

Works everywhere

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.

What you can save

StoriesDL supports the public formats Instagram publishes today. Private content stays private.

  • Direct messages and saved collections
  • Age-restricted, region-locked, or deleted content

Photos

Single-image posts and every image inside a public carousel.

Reels

Public Reels in the highest MP4 variant Instagram exposes.

Videos

Standard public video posts, including longer uploads.

Carousels

Mixed photo-and-video posts, with each item listed separately.

IGTV

Public long-form videos that still resolve from /tv/ links.

Supported: public posts, Reels, videos, carousels, and IGTV.

Frequently asked questions

The short answers, without the fine-print maze.

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 are not served to a logged-out visitor, so they are not supported. We do not log in or bypass access controls. Instagram's own app can save a story you posted, which is a different path from this site.

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 JPEG sizes or MP4 renditions Instagram publishes for that post, largest first, plus smaller options where they exist. We cannot add detail the creator did not upload.
