How to download Instagram Story posts to PC

You may not know, today it seems that most of Facebook's social networking sites or messaging apps have Stories feature inspired by Snapchat.Insta-stories was introduced in August 2016, and since then it has become one of the most popular features on Instagram.It can be said that one of the most important rules that we must remember when using the Internet is: 'Be careful what information you intend to share online.Especially when it will be online and there forever. "Worse, if you want to find and remove this information, it will be very difficult because the Internet will help it spread quickly. 'scandal' stems from the fact that the inappropriate information is shared on social networks, and when it is miserable, everything is too late, the Instagram feature is also built on a certain part of the rules switches on.

As we all know, Instagram Story posts only exist for 24 hours and then they will be deleted.So, for example, if you like a post on a friend's Story and want to download it to your computer for future sharing, how do you do it?Very simply, try the following methods.

Download the entire site

In this example, both Chrome and Firefox are already in use.Firefox seems to work more effectively in this.Chrome has no problems handling images but has trouble with videos, while Firefox doesn't have any problems at all.

1. Open the Instagram post you want to save.

2. Right-click on the two sides of the post (the empty space around the post, not right on that post).After that, a menu containing options will appear.

3. In that menu, select Save As (for Chrome) or Save page as (if you are using Firefox).

4. Now, the Save As window will appear, from here, you can choose where you want to save the site.You can name the download file as you wish, but it is best to keep the .html extension of the file.

5. Open the file manager on the device (or any application you use as a file browser on your computer).Navigate to where you have just saved the Instagram Story website.Each time you save a complete website, a resource folder will be created with it, helping to store files such as images and scripts.

Normally, the name of the resource folder will be styled to include the name of the website you just saved and followed by: '_files.'If the name of the website you just saved is 'Stories • Instagram', for example, the resource folder name will be 'Stories • Instagram_files'.After naming, navigate to that resource directory.

6. In the resource folder, you will find a list of files responsible for making the website appear correctly.What we care about here are images.You should sort the files here by category and adjust the file view as large or extremely large icons.This will allow you to see the thumbnail of the image you are looking for from the story.

7. After finding the image, you can delete the site and other items in the resource folder.

The biggest minus point in this method is wastage and takes a bit of time.The benefit is that you won't need to use any additional utilities.

Use the Chrono download manager

The Chrono Manager is a versatile extension for Chromium-based web browsers.It replaces the default download manager with another manager with higher customizations.Chrono comes with a feature called sniffer, which can be used to find and download images, videos, links and documents from a website.

Chrono's Sniffer makes downloading photos on Instagram a lot easier.You can even download videos on Story under different variations and sizes.Chrono allows you to download posts on a story in bulk at the same time, which means you don't have to download each post manually.

1. From the browser, open the Story Instagram posts you want to download.You can let these posts run automatically until the end, but make sure you click on Instagram Stories 'Close' button before the last post is finished and automatically redirect to your Instagram home page, otherwise Chrono sniffer will not be able to capture the list of posts on Story.

2. Click the Chrono extension icon on your browser.If it displays the download list, simply click on the small sniffer icon in the top right corner of the list.

3. Chrono sniffer provides you with four main items separated by tabs, which are videos, images, documents and other items.Because Instagram's Story posts are likely to be listed in the first two items, we'll focus on those items.In the video section, you can see that Chrono sniffer displays a long list of links.If you want to know if these are posts on Story, just check the comment column on the right.In general, stories on Story are often noted like this: 'Stories • Instagram'.

4. The only minus point for Chrono sniffer is that it doesn't have a thumbnail for the video, and sometimes you won't really know which videos are because Chrono sniffer is only shown as links.You will have to guess or download all the videos and then select them later.It can be seen that some of these videos are the same but they have different quality, variation and size.That's because Instagram automatically adjusts the video quality to match the user's Internet speed.You can select and mark each link you want to download from the list or select all at once.
