Instagram story download

Save stories and highlights with the Klipova extension, in the browser where you're signed in to Instagram

By using the service you accept our terms of service and privacy policy.

Why stories are different

Posts and Reels from public accounts can be viewed without signing in; stories can't. Instagram shows stories and highlights only to signed-in people. That's why no website can honestly download a story without using the visitor's own Instagram account.

Klipova never asks for your Instagram password or cookies. Instead, the browser extension reads the story in the browser where you're signed in, with your own session. The media goes straight from Instagram's servers to your computer.

What you can save

  • Video stories: as MP4 with sound.
  • Photo stories: in the highest resolution Instagram serves.
  • Highlights: every story in a highlight, in one list.

If you try without signing in

If you paste a story link into the box above, Klipova tells you plainly that stories can't be downloaded anonymously. Sign in to Instagram, then try the story again with the extension.

See which browsers the extension can be installed in on the Klipova Helper page.

Questions about downloading Instagram stories

Why doesn't pasting a story link above work?

Instagram only shows stories to people who are signed in, so stories can't be downloaded anonymously. Klipova's server never signs in to Instagram on your behalf. You can download the story with the extension, in the browser where you're signed in to Instagram.

Do I have to give Klipova my Instagram password?

No, never. The extension reads the story right in your browser, using the Instagram session you already have open. Your password and cookies are never sent to Klipova.

Can I download highlights too?

Yes. When you open a highlight, the extension lists every story in it so you can choose what to save.

Will the owner see that I downloaded their story?

Downloading sends no notification. But because you opened the story on Instagram, you appear in its viewer list as usual.

Can I download stories from a private account?

Only stories your account can already see. The extension can't access anything beyond what Instagram shows you.

Can I repost a story I downloaded?

Only your own stories, or ones the owner allows. Reposting someone else's story without permission can infringe copyright and personal rights.
