Get the most out of your downloads

Download Before 24 Hours

Stories expire after 24 hours. Set a reminder to download important stories before they vanish permanently.

Use Public Profiles Only

The tool works with public accounts. If a profile is private, you won't be able to download their stories.

Save in Original Quality

Always download in HD. The tool preserves the original upload quality — no compression or resolution loss.

Organize Your Downloads

Create folders by account or date to keep your downloaded stories organized and easy to find later.

Check Story Availability

If a story doesn't appear, the account may not have an active story or it may have already expired.

Respect Copyright

Downloaded stories are for personal use. Always get permission before reposting someone else's content.
