Instagram Story Downloader
Save public Instagram Stories — photos and videos — anonymously before they disappear in 24 hours.
How to Download an Instagram Story
Find the profile
Copy the profile link, or just the @username, of the public account whose Story you want to save.
Paste it above
Enter the profile link or username into the box above.
Download active Stories
Click Download to see and save that account's currently active Story photos and videos.
Download Stories Anonymously
Cheff Downloader fetches public Instagram Stories the same way a logged-out browser would, without ever signing into an Instagram account. That means the account you're viewing has no way of knowing their Story was seen or saved.
A Note on Privacy
Instagram Stories are only fully public if the poster's account itself is public. Stories from private accounts are protected by Instagram and are not accessible through this tool unless the site owner explicitly configures access for their own account. We built Cheff Downloader to respect Instagram's privacy boundaries — it is a tool for saving content that's already publicly visible, not for bypassing anyone's privacy settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download an Instagram Story?
Paste the profile link or @username of the account whose public Story you want to save, then click Download.
Will the person know I viewed or saved their Story?
No. Cheff Downloader fetches Stories anonymously, without logging into any Instagram account, so no view is recorded.
Can I download Stories from private accounts?
Only if the site owner has configured access to that account. By default, only Stories from public accounts can be downloaded.
How long are Instagram Stories available to download?
Stories disappear from Instagram 24 hours after posting, so download them while they are still active.
