What you get

Photos and videos

Story slides come in both flavours and the tool handles either without you choosing a mode.

Highlights too

Paste a highlight link and you get the whole set, not just the cover image.

Nobody sees you

iWebTV reads the public tray without opening the story, so your name does not land in the viewer list.

Pick individual slides

Every item downloads separately. No zip file, no all-or-nothing bundle.

Why stories are worth saving

The 24-hour timer is the whole point of stories, and it is also the whole problem. A friend posts a moment from a trip, a shop announces a one-day discount, a creator explains something in three slides and by tomorrow it is gone. Saving a copy is often just practical: a screenshot of an address, a recipe someone talked through, a photo of you that the poster never sent. Highlights last longer but they disappear too, the moment the owner tidies their profile.

Viewing without appearing in the list

This is the reason most people look for a story downloader. Instagram shows the poster exactly who opened each slide, and there are plenty of ordinary situations checking a business account, looking at an ex's public profile, doing competitor research for work where you would rather not announce yourself. iWebTV fetches the public tray directly instead of playing the story through your account, so nothing is added to their viewer list.

What it cannot reach

Only public accounts. If the profile is private, its stories are only visible to approved followers and there is no public page to read. Close Friends stories are a separate, tighter circle and are never publicly readable either, even on an otherwise open account.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What are Instagram Stories and Highlights?

Stories and Highlights are two features that let users share photos and videos. The main difference is that regular stories disappear after 24 hours while Highlights are saved in a special album on the profile. Regular stories appear in a gallery called Your Story and Highlights stay permanently until the user removes them

Will the person see that I viewed their story?

No. The story is never opened through your account, so you do not appear in the viewer list.

Can I download stories from a private account?

No. Private stories are not publicly accessible. Following the account and using our private content tool is the only honest route.

How do I download a post?
  1. Open Instagram and tap the Story thumbnail at the top of your feed
  2. Tap the three dots icon in the top right corner of the screen
  3. Select Copy Link from the menu that appears
  4. Open your browser and go to iWebTV.net then paste the link into the field provided
  5. Tap the Download button and the Story will be saved to your device
Can I download highlights?

Yes. Paste the highlight link and every slide in that highlight is listed for download.

How long do I have to save a story?

Until it expires 24 hours from posting. Once Instagram removes it there is nothing left to fetch, for us or anyone else.

Nothing came up for the username I entered.

That account either has no active story right now, is private, or the spelling is off. Check the profile in a logged-out browser to confirm it is public.

How many times can I save Instagram Stories?

There are no restrictions at all. You can use our Story downloader as many times as you want and it is completely free. Once downloaded you can use the Story however you like whether to keep it for later share it with friends or even print it out if you want

Can I download Instagram Stories on Android or iPhone?

Yes absolutely. Our website works perfectly on both Android and iPhone devices. It is compatible with all major browsers including Chrome Firefox Safari and Opera. The service is free and unlimited so you can download any public Story or Highlight and view it offline anytime on your device

Does this work for Close Friends stories?

No. Close Friends content stays inside that list and never becomes publicly readable.
