Stories vanish in 24 hours. Paste the story link and save the one you wanted — public profiles only, no exceptions.
ReelGrab won't let you peek at someone's private stories — those belong to the people the account holder approved. If a link asks Instagram to authenticate, we hand it back and tell you no.
Photo stories come back as JPGs, video stories as MP4s with original audio. Boomerangs save as a short MP4 loop, exactly as the creator posted.
If a creator pinned a story to their highlights, you can paste the highlight link and grab the whole thing — every photo, every video clip, numbered in order.
Specific to this tool. The general questions live on the main FAQ.
Instagram shows the creator who viewed their story — that's a separate signal from saving. ReelGrab can't change what Instagram tracks on its end. If you want to be discreet, that's between you and your browser.
Only if the creator pinned them to highlights. Once a story rolls off after 24 hours and isn't pinned, Instagram deletes it — there's nothing left for us to fetch.
