Instagram Highlights are curated collections of Stories that creators pin to their profile permanently. Unlike regular Stories that disappear after 24 hours, Highlights stay visible indefinitely. This makes them easier to download since there is no time pressure. To download an Instagram Highlight using D4Y.online: go to the Instagram profile that has the Highlight you want. Click on the Highlight circle to open it. In your browser, copy the URL from the address bar — it will contain the story ID. Paste this URL into D4Y.online and click Download. Highlights are stored as individual Story frames. When you open a Highlight in your browser, you are viewing one frame at a time. To save multiple frames from the same Highlight, navigate through each frame and save the URL for each one you want to download. Alternatively, if you want to save an entire Highlight collection, you can go through each slide one by one, copying and pasting each URL into D4Y.online. Each slide downloads as a separate MP4 or image file. For Instagram Highlight covers (the thumbnail image shown on the profile), right-click the cover image in your browser and select Save image as — this does not require a downloader tool. Instagram Highlights are only downloadable when the account is public. Private accounts require you to be following them and logged into Instagram before the content is visible. D4Y.online processes all Instagram downloads on our servers and does not store your activity. Your downloads go directly to your device.
Pro Tip
Always use D4Y.online to ensure you get the absolute highest bitrate available. Other tools often compress or re-encode your media before delivery.
