Why this tool

Built for highlights downloads

  • Whole collections at once

    Highlights often hold dozens of frames. Every one is returned in a single fetch, in order.

  • No expiry pressure

    Unlike stories, Highlights persist — but only while the owner keeps them. Saving makes your copy permanent.

  • Photos and videos together

    Each frame is detected independently and offered as a JPG or MP4 as appropriate.

  • Original quality retained

    Frames download at their stored resolution with no additional compression from us.

Save Instagram Highlights before they are taken down

Highlights feel permanent, which is exactly why people do not back them up. They persist only as long as the account owner keeps them pinned, and a profile clean-up can remove months of content in a moment.

This tool fetches an entire collection in one request and lays every frame out as a preview grid, so archiving a Highlight takes seconds rather than a long session of manual screen recording.

  • Entire collection returned in one fetch
  • Frames stay in their original sequence
  • Photos and videos both supported

Getting the right link

Highlight URLs contain /stories/highlights/ followed by a numeric identifier. The easiest way to get one is to open the Highlight on the web and copy the address bar.

If your link contains a username instead of “highlights”, you are looking at a regular story — use the story downloader for that.

FAQ

Highlights downloader questions

Common questions about instagram highlights downloader.

A story expires after 24 hours. A Highlight is a curated collection the account owner has pinned to their profile, and it stays visible until they remove it. They live on different URL paths, which is why they have separate tools here.
Yes. Every frame in the collection is returned in one fetch, presented as a grid so you can save individual frames or work through the whole set.
They persist far longer than stories, but the owner can delete a Highlight at any time. If a collection matters to you, saving it is the only guarantee.
The cover is usually a cropped frame from within the collection, so downloading the full set generally gets you the source image at better quality than the cover thumbnail.
Private accounts are only visible to approved followers, and we deliberately do not bypass that. If you see a “private media” error, the post is not public and cannot be fetched.
No. Every tool on this site is free, unlimited for public posts, and works without registration, browser extensions, or app installs.
