How do I download someone's Instagram Story?

Copy the public profile URL or @username, paste it into Clipcutt and tap Fetch Stories. We pull every active Story frame so you can save the ones you want as JPG or MP4.

Will the account owner know I downloaded their Story?

No. Clipcutt fetches Stories via public data without using your Instagram account — your username never appears in the viewer list.

Can I download private Instagram Stories?

No. Only public accounts are supported, by design. Private accounts are off-limits to respect Instagram's privacy rules.

How long are Stories available to download?

Stories are live for 24 hours on Instagram. Clipcutt can save any frame during that window — once a Story expires, it's gone.

Can I download Story Highlights?

Yes. Paste the profile URL and Clipcutt surfaces both active Stories and any public Highlights you can save individually.

Do Stories download with sound?

Yes — video Story frames are saved as MP4 with their original audio track preserved.

Is the Story downloader free?

Yes, completely free with no signup. Download as many Stories from as many public profiles as you want.
