How It Works

Paste the link into NewTools
Add the Story link to the input field and make sure it is an Instagram URL.

Start the download check
Run the check so NewTools can look for available download options.

- The check may fail if Instagram blocks access or the Story is no longer available.

Download an available file if supported
Use the download button only if the Story returns a supported file.
- Only download content you own, have permission to use, or that is available for permitted use.
- NewTools is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
