Facebook Story Downloader

Open the Story, tap the three-dot menu and choose "Copy link", or copy the link of the public profile whose Story is playing. Paste that link into the box at the top of this page and press Download, then choose the video and save it. The Story is saved as an MP4 you can watch offline.

The method is the same as for videos. Copy the Story or profile link, paste it above and press Download. When the Story is a still image, FB DownS shows the photo and lets you save it in its original resolution to your Gallery or Downloads folder.

Copy the Story link in the Facebook app, open fbdowns.com in Safari, paste the link and tap Download. The file saves to the Files app under Downloads, and from there you can move a video or photo into your Photos library. No app or jailbreak is required.

Copy the Story link in the Facebook app, open fbdowns.com in Chrome, paste it and tap Download. The Story video or photo saves to your Downloads folder or Gallery automatically, so you can view it offline whenever you like.

Yes. The steps are identical on desktop: copy the Story link, paste it here, and the video or photo saves to your browser's Downloads folder. It works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on both Windows and Mac.

Facebook Stories are removed automatically 24 hours after they are posted, so save them while they are still visible. As soon as you see a Story you want to keep, copy its link and download it here — once it expires it can no longer be fetched.

You can save Stories that are publicly shared, such as those from public profiles, creators and Pages. FB DownS cannot access private Stories that a person has limited to their friends, because that would go against their privacy settings. Only download content you are allowed to view.

Yes, it is completely free. There is no subscription, no sign-up and no daily limit on how many public Stories you can save. You only need the Story link and a web browser.

On Android, Stories usually appear in your Gallery or the Downloads folder in the Files app. On iPhone and iPad they save to the Files app under Downloads, and you can move them into Photos. On a computer, look in your browser's Downloads folder.

Saving your own Stories, or public content for personal offline use, is generally fine. Always respect copyright and the poster's rights: don't re-share, republish or monetise someone else's Story without their permission, and only save Stories you are permitted to view.

The most common reasons are that the Story has already expired past 24 hours, the link isn't a valid Story or public profile link, or the content is private. Make sure you copied the correct link from a public Story that is still live, then paste it again and retry.

No. Stories are processed on demand and are not saved on our servers, and no download history is kept. The file goes straight to your device and your activity stays private.

The download itself is not announced — FB DownS never tells anyone that you saved a Story, and the poster sees no notification. What you cannot hide is the view: opening a Story inside the Facebook app puts your name in the poster's viewer list, and no honest tool can remove it. This is a downloader, not an anonymous story viewer.

You cannot, and FB DownS will not try. A private or friends-only Story is restricted by the poster's own settings, and a link-based tool has no lawful way to reach it. The only legitimate route is to ask the person to send you the photo or video directly.

FB DownS saves one Story at a time — there is no batch or multi-account download. In practice you paste a link, save the file, then paste the next one, which takes only a few seconds per Story. If you need a whole day's Stories, repeat the steps before the 24-hour window closes.

No. FB DownS has no scheduling, no automatic archiving and no background monitoring of any account. Every download is something you start yourself by pasting a link. If you want a routine archive of your own Stories, turn on Facebook's Story Archive in the app and download the ones you want to keep as files.

FB DownS adds no watermark of any kind — the file you get is the original Story source, so there is no logo, label or branding stamped on it. It cannot remove a watermark that the creator burned into the Story before posting, because that mark is part of the image itself. No downloader can undo that.

Captions, text and stickers that the poster placed on the Story are part of the video or photo, so they are included automatically in your download and look exactly as they did on screen. There is no separate subtitle file for Stories, so there is nothing extra to enable or save.

Only if the group and the Story are public. Stories inside private or closed groups are visible to members under the group's privacy settings, and FB DownS cannot access them. For public Pages and public groups, copy the Story link and paste it above as usual.

No. FB DownS is a web page, so it requests no device permissions — no camera, contacts, storage or photo-library access — and no Facebook account permissions. Compare that with story-saver apps, which often ask for broad phone permissions; avoiding an install is one of the safest choices you can make.

Use a browser-based tool that never asks you to log in. The single biggest risk with Story downloaders is a site or app that requests your Facebook username and password, because that hands over your account. FB DownS asks only for a public link, installs nothing, and cannot touch your account either way.

Yes — FB DownS is one. It is free with no sign-up, no subscription, no premium tier and no daily limit, and it needs nothing but a public Story link and a browser. Be wary of "free" tools that suddenly require an account or credentials part way through.

Open the Facebook app, tap the menu, then Memories and Story Archive — if archiving is switched on, your past Stories are stored there privately for you to replay. The archive is not a file export, so to keep a real copy on your device, open the Story from the archive, copy its link and download it here.

Live broadcasts are not Stories, so use our Facebook video downloader instead. Once a Live stream has ended and the recording is left up publicly on the profile or Page, copy that video's link and paste it there to save the replay as an MP4. A stream that is still running or was deleted afterwards cannot be saved.

The main limits are time and scope: a Story must still be within its 24-hour window, it must be genuinely public, and it is saved one link at a time. FB DownS also has no editing tools, no GIF conversion, no cloud storage and no cross-device sync — it downloads a file to the device you are using.

Keeping a public Story for your own offline viewing is generally acceptable, but the content still belongs to the person who made it. Do not re-share, republish, edit or monetise someone else's Story without their permission, and never download content you were not allowed to see in the first place. When in doubt, ask the poster.

Choose the lower quality option when FB DownS offers one, and start the download while you still have the link — a Story video is only a few seconds long, so the file is small even at full quality. Because the page is lightweight and needs no app install, it loads quickly on weak mobile data.

No. FB DownS does one job — saving a public Story as the original video or photo — and does not include an editor, GIF converter, scheduler or developer API. Once the file is on your device you can open it in any editing app you already use.
