How do I download Instagram highlights?
Type the username and press Get highlights. The covers load in a row, the way they sit on the profile. Open a highlight, go to the story you want and press Download. The photo or video opens in a new tab in the quality Instagram serves, ready to save. Each story in a highlight downloads separately.
Will they know I downloaded their highlights?
No. Highlights are archived stories, and once a story is older than 48 hours it has no viewer list at all, even for the owner. This page also loads highlights from our servers with nobody logged in, so there's no account that could be added anywhere. Saving the file happens in your own browser.
Can I download a whole highlight at once?
Not as a single file. Instagram keeps every story in a highlight as its own photo or video, so each one gets its own Download button and you save them one by one. It also means you only keep the stories you actually want, rather than a zip of everything the account ever saved.
Can I download highlights from a private account?
No. A private account's highlights are only visible to its approved followers, so there is nothing public to fetch. Sites that promise otherwise either don't work or want your Instagram password, which is a quick way to lose your own account. Any public account works, with no login on this page.
