A story viewer shows the photos and videos a public Instagram account posted in the last 24 hours. Type the username here and the stories load in your browser in the order they were posted, each with its posting time. Nothing is installed and no Instagram account is needed. The view is made by our servers, not by an account of yours.

Each story can be saved as the original file Instagram serves, one click per item. Free lookups show standard preview quality with every detail attached: posting time, expiry, mentions, music and links. The Pro pass adds original-quality files, a higher daily limit and a single zip for saving all or selected stories.

What a saved set looks like

Every item in order, each one savable as the original file. Pro saves the whole set as one zip.

Questions

Can the account owner see that I looked?

The view is made by our servers, so Instagram shows the owner nothing about you. We store no record of the lookup and no copy of the file.

Do private accounts work?

No. The tool only reads public accounts. If the account is private, the page returns nothing, and we do not ask for access or a follow.

Are reels and videos supported?

Yes. Stories that are videos, including reels shared to stories, load and save the same way as photos.

What quality is the saved file?

You get the original file Instagram serves for that story. Free lookups show standard preview quality; the Pro pass gives original-quality files.

How many lookups do I get for free?

Ten a day without an account, with standard preview quality and all details. The Pro pass removes the daily cap for normal use, with a fair-use limit of 70 lookups a day.

Do I need to install anything or log in?

No. The viewer runs in the browser, and no Instagram account or login is involved at any point.

How long do stories stay visible?

Instagram stories expire 24 hours after posting. The viewer shows what is currently live and lists the expiry time for each item.

What does the Pro pass cost?

It is a one-time payment, not a subscription: $6.9 for 7 days or $14.9 for 30 days. It adds original-quality files, unlimited lookups for normal use and zip saving.

Stories vanish after 24 hours.

Save the ones worth keeping while they are still there.
