Instagram highlights viewer and downloader.

Highlights are the stories worth keeping — they never expire. Saving them is paused while Instagram has the contents behind a login; here's how they work and what still works today.

Coming soon

Instagram stopped serving the contents of a highlight to anyone who isn't signed in, and we won't fetch them with an account we'd have to keep replacing. Listing an account's highlights already works; saving what's inside them does not, so the tool stays off until it does.

Working now: Instagram Downloader and Reels Downloader.

Why highlights are the easy case

No 24-hour clock

Unlike stories, highlights are permanent. There's no countdown to beat, so you can come back to them.

Covers too

The cover image is saved separately from the items, at the resolution the owner uploaded.

Whole highlight at once

Select every item in a highlight and take it as a single archive, in the order it plays.

Anonymous either way

Highlight views aren't shown to the owner after the first 24 hours, and nothing here is fetched with an account.

Highlights vs stories

They look identical in the app and behave completely differently the moment you try to keep one.

One highlight at a time. Each can be taken in full, but whole-profile bulk grabs aren't offered.

No. That's the difference from stories — they stay until the owner deletes them.
