About Instagram links on this page

Instagram stories cannot be retrieved here: they are login-gated and expire, and this site does not bypass those protections. Instead, use the workspace below to make an image you own story-ready. For video and audio from a Reel or video post you own or have permission to use, see the Reels Downloader or Video Downloader.

GUIDE

How to use the Instagram Story Downloader

Direct download of other people's stories is not available here: stories are login-gated and expire, and this site does not bypass authentication or expiry. This tool makes an image you own story-ready: it fits your image onto a 1080 × 1920 story canvas, previews it, and lets you download the result.

Steps

  1. Choose an image file you own or are authorised to use.
  2. Pick PNG or JPEG output and select Make story image.
  3. Preview the 1080 × 1920 result. Your whole image stays visible, centred on a dark background.
  4. Download the story image and upload it to Instagram from your own device.

Supported inputs and outputs

  • Inputs: browser-decodable images (PNG, JPEG, WebP; GIF as a still image), 30 MB maximum.
  • Output: exactly 1080 × 1920 pixels, PNG or JPEG, produced on a canvas in your browser.
  • Fit: the image is scaled to fit inside the canvas without cropping, so nothing is cut off.
  • Your file is never uploaded to the server by this tool.

Troubleshooting

  • A video file is rejected here because this tool processes still images only. For video stories, use the video file you already have.
  • Text near the edges of your image may sit under Instagram's story interface. Keep important text away from the top and bottom edges of the original.
  • A JPEG story image is smaller than the PNG version. Use JPEG for photographs and PNG when you need crisp text or graphics.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download someone else's story by link?

No. Stories require login and expire, and this site does not bypass those protections.

Why 1080 × 1920?

That is the standard vertical story canvas size, so the result fills a phone screen without extra cropping in most cases.

Will my image be cropped?

No. The tool fits the whole image inside the canvas and fills the remaining space with a dark background.
