How to Download Instagram Story Highlights
Instagram Story Highlights are pinned permanently on profiles — they do not expire like regular Stories. You can download any photo or video from a public Highlight for free using DLGram, with no registration or app installation required.
Step-by-Step: Download Instagram Highlights
Step 1 — Open the Highlight and copy the link
Go to the Instagram profile and tap the Highlight circle you want to save. Inside the Highlight, tap the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top right corner and select Copy link. This copies the link to that specific item in the Highlight.
Step 2 — Paste the link into DLGram
Open dlgram.org and paste the copied link into the input field. DLGram will automatically detect the media type.
Step 3 — Download
Click Download to save the photo (JPG) or video (MP4) from the Highlight directly to your device. On iPhone, tap and hold the Download button and select Download linked file.

- Highlights can contain photos and videos
- They are visible to anyone who can view the profile
- Each item inside a Highlight can be downloaded individually
