Do you want to save an Instagram Story before it vanishes into the digital void? There is no need for fancy apps or signing your life away — just use the Instagram Story downloader and you’re set. You can snag stories right from your browser in a few easy steps. It should be noted that this works only for public profiles.
Here’s how you get those Instagram Stories before they’re gone.
Just hit Dumpor on your phone, tablet, or computer—whatever you’ve got handy.
Plug in the Instagram username in the search bar (skip the @, please). Double-check spelling.
Find the profile you want from the results. Make sure it’s public — private accounts aren’t accessible.
If they’ve got stories up (within the last 24 hours), you’ll see them pop up.
Under each story, hit “Download” and the files will start loading to your device.
PC/Android: Downloads folder. iPhone: Files or Photos (you might need to move it manually).
Instagram’s big on privacy. So, only public stuff can be grabbed by these tools because their content is visible to anyone, even without logging into Instagram. When it comes to private accounts, Instagram keeps that locked down. Dumpor and similar sites can’t touch them.
There is no app and no need to log in or create an account. Just a browser and the account name that has the Stories you want to download.
Double-check the username. Also consider the account may be private or no stories were posted.
Refresh the page or try a different browser. Chrome usually plays nice.
Update your media player and ensure it supports MP4. VLC Media Player is a solid universal option.
Check Safari’s download settings — or just use Chrome.
You can use an Instagram Story Download tool to save public stories for yourself — like, to remember your friend’s bad haircut or whatever. However, it is not only unethical but also illegal to save people’s stuff for business or reposting everywhere without their agreement. This may violate copyright laws. Always respect the creator's rights.
No. Only public profiles are supported by Dumpor.
No. The downloads are totally anonymous.
Yes. Dumpor handles both formats.
No. All features are accessible online via a browser without logging into your Instagram account.
Only while they’re live — 24 hours from posting. After that, they disappear.
Whether you’re saving memories, saving inspo, or just want to keep receipts, Dumpor gets it done — quick, easy, and no hoops to jump through. Try it out before that story’s gone forever.
