What Are Instagram Highlights?

Instagram Highlights are Story collections saved on a profile, so they don't disappear after 24 hours. They usually appear as circles under a bio and can include both photos and videos.

Highlights are often where the most important content lives—like brand updates, product walkthroughs, results, and saved moments. If you want to keep that content for later, sharing, or backup, an Instagram Highlights Downloader makes it easy to download accessible Highlights in the best available quality (HD when available).

Download Instagram Highlights in 4 Steps

Step 1

Copy the profile link

Open Instagram, go to the profile that has Highlights, and copy the profile URL.

Step 2

Paste into ClipsSaver

Paste the profile link into the input field on this page.

Step 3

Select a Highlight album

Choose the Highlight you want (for example: Travel, Reviews, FAQs, Tutorials).

Step 4

Download photos or videos

Download the specific Highlight items you need—one file at a time or multiple items by selecting and saving each one.

Highlight Cover Images (Optional)

Some users want to save Highlight cover images too. If the cover is accessible through normal viewing and Instagram exposes it in a downloadable format, ClipsSaver may show an option. Availability depends on the profile and what Instagram provides.

Single item or multiple items
Pick one photo/video, or download several items from the same Highlight (by saving them one by one)

Troubleshooting: Why Can't I Download This Highlight?

The link doesn't work

Make sure you copied the full profile URL

Copy again from Instagram (some apps shorten links)

I can't find the Highlight

It may have been removed, renamed, or updated
