Instagram highlights are stories a creator pins to their profile so they stay visible beyond 24 hours. They’re great content — tutorials, travel, product info — and you may want to keep a copy. Here’s how to save highlights properly.
For your own account you can re-download stories from your archive, but the quality is sometimes reduced and the process is clunky. A cleaner option is to use a story and highlight viewer: enter your username and download each highlight clip in its original resolution.
To save highlights from another public account, use the MegaStory Story Viewer or StoriesIG tool. Enter the username, open the highlight you want, and download the photos or videos. Because the request is anonymous, the account owner won’t know you viewed or saved anything.
