Although you can create awesome Instagram stories with photos, videos, music, filters, stickers, texts and more, it does not allow you to download the story with music. Why do you ask? This mainly has to do with music licensing and free distribution. Still, if you still want to save an Instagram story with music, there are a few easy ways to do so. Our guide here will help you download Instagram stories with music even without posting the video. Moreover, you can save Instagram stories with music without making your account public. So, on that note, let’s go ahead and learn about the various methods to save an Instagram story with music to your gallery.

In addition to stories you’ve posted recently, you can also download old Instagram stories by following our instructions. Expand the table below to find all methods.
Download your own Instagram stories with music (easy way)
With this nifty trick, you can download Instagram Stories with music on your smartphone without using any third-party app. The best part is that it works flawlessly and without any limitations. The video quality also remains intact and private accounts are also supported in this method. You can basically save an Instagram story with music without posting it. Now, that being said, let’s get to the steps.
1. First, open Instagram and create a story with photos, videos, stickers, etc. You can also add music if you want. Now don’t publish the story. Instead, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and choose “To safeguard“.
2. As we all know, the story will be saved on your iPhone or Android device, but without Music.
3. Now open Instagram again and swipe left to get to the Messages section. Here, open one of the chats with your close friend and tap the “camera” icon in the lower left corner.
4. Now, choose the video you just downloaded.
5. Finally, swipe up and add the music to your story. After that, make sure that “Keep in touch” is selected in the lower left corner. After that, tap “Send” on the bottom right.
6. Once the message has been sent, long press on the video to see a host of options at the bottom. Here, tap “More” and select “To safeguard” to upload the video to your gallery.

Save your Instagram story with music after posting the story
If you have already posted the story or want to save an old Instagram story with music from the archive, you can do that too. Again, this will also work for private accounts without any reduction in quality. Follow the steps below to learn how it works:
1. Open the Instagram app and go to your profile. Here, tap the hamburger menu in the upper right corner and open “Archive“. Archive saves all your past stories in the cloud.
2. Now choose the story you want to download. After that, tap the three-dot menu and select “Save video” from the pop-up window. The story will be saved to your camera roll but without music.
3. Now just like the above method, send the story (uploaded video) as a message to any of your loved ones in DM and then add music. After that, enable the “Keep in touch” option in the lower left corner. Finally, send the video to your friend.
4. After the message is delivered, long press the video message and select “More” from the options that appear. Then go ahead and save Instagram story with music.
Download Instagram stories with music via third-party websites
Apart from the native method, you can also save Instagram stories with music using third-party online services. However, note that your Instagram account must be public to use any of the services. I would advise users against using third-party apps, as most of them require users to log in with a username and password. You should not enter your Instagram password on third-party apps to protect your account from any kind of mischief. That said, let’s look at two tools you can use:
StorySaver.net
1. First, go to storysaver.net (visit) and enter your Instagram username. After that, click “Download” here to get all your Instagram stories back.
2. Next, scroll down to find all the recent Instagram stories you’ve posted. Click on “Save as video” here, and the story will be saved to your device with music.
3. If you want to save older stories, click “Show #Highlights” and save the story you want.
Snapinsta
Other than that, you can use Snapinsta to quickly download Instagram stories with music to your phone gallery. But again, you will need to have a public account. That said, here’s how it works:
1. Launch the Instagram app and open the story you want to save with music. Now click on the three-dot menu and copy link.
5. Open snapinsta.app (visit) in your mobile browser and navigate to the “Instagram Story Download” tab. Now paste the link here and click “Download”.
6. Finally, go ahead and download story with music.
Repost Instagram story with music on WhatsApp and other social networks
