How To Save Instagram Stories With Music
Instagram Stories are a fun way to share moments, and adding music makes them even more engaging. But what if you want to save those Stories with the music intact? Whether you’re looking to keep your Story for memories or share it elsewhere, this guide will show you simple ways to do it.
Can You Save Instagram Stories With Music Directly?
If you’ve ever tried downloading your Story straight from Instagram after adding music, you’ve probably noticed something disappointing — the video saves, but the music doesn’t. That’s because Instagram only licenses the music for use inside the app, not for download. But don’t worry! There are workarounds.
Here’s how you can save your Instagram Stories with the music.
1. Save It to Your Archive and Screen Record
This is the easiest method, and it works whether you’re on an iPhone or Android.
Steps:
- Post your Story with music like you normally would.
- After it’s live, go to your Profile > tap the Menu (three lines) > Archive.
- Find the Story you want to save.
- Open it and play it with the music.
- Now use your phone’s screen recording feature to capture it.
Pro Tip: Make sure your phone isn’t on silent mode, and turn the volume up so the music plays clearly during recording.
2. Use a Third-Party App or Website
There are apps and online tools that can help you download Instagram Stories with music. Here are a couple of popular options:
- Story Saver Apps (for Android & iOS)
- Websites like Storysaver.net or SaveFrom.net
How It Works:
- Post your Story on Instagram.
- Copy your profile link or just your username.
- Paste it into one of these tools.
- Find the Story you want and download it — usually, it comes with the music included.
Note: Be careful when using third-party apps. Stick to trustworthy ones to protect your privacy.
3. Create a Reel Instead of a Story
Instagram Reels are much more flexible when it comes to saving videos with music.
Why It Works:
- When you make a Reel, Instagram allows you to save it to your device with the music, as long as it’s an original audio track or you have permission.
- You can create your content in Reels and share it to your Story, then save the Reel directly to your camera roll with music.
Steps:
- Go to Reels > create your video > add music.
- Tap the three dots > Save to Camera Roll.
4. Download From Close Friends Story (Bonus Tip)
Some users report better luck saving Stories with music when they share it only to their Close Friends and then use the screen record trick. It’s a cleaner interface without extra viewers or engagement icons.
