How to download in 3 steps

  1. Copy the story link

    Open the story, tap the Share icon or three-dot menu, choose Copy link.

  2. Paste it above

    Drop the link in the box. Public story items resolve automatically.

  3. Save the story

    Tap Download on the video or photo. Nothing is stored on our servers.

What you get

  • Anonymous fetch

    No Facebook session — no view attributed to you.

  • Video & photo

    Both story formats, as Facebook serves them.

  • Cross-posted stories

    Instagram stories cross-posted to Facebook usually resolve too.

  • Public only

    A deliberate limit: private stories are never fetched.

Save Facebook stories before they vanish

Stories are the most disposable format on any platform. When one matters — an announcement, a tutorial, a moment — the link is the only way to keep it, and the clock is ticking.

Paste the story link during its 24-hour window and save the file locally. No login means no view shows up in the author's stats.

Download stories on any device

PluckVid is browser-based, so Facebook downloads work the same everywhere.

iPhone: the MP4 arrives in the Files app; move it to Photos with the share sheet. Android: downloads land in your Downloads folder or gallery. Desktop: your browser's normal save flow.

Facebook links come in many shapes (facebook.com/watch, /reel, fb.watch shortlinks, ?v= IDs) — all of them are handled by the same pipeline.

  • iPhone / iPad: Safari → Files app → share to Photos
  • Android: Chrome → Downloads or gallery
  • Desktop: browser download, no extension

Private by design

PluckVid stores none of the stories. Downloads stream through a temporary connection and are discarded; metadata lives in cache for 15–30 minutes at most.

No Facebook login is ever requested. We process public content only — what a logged-out visitor can already see. Private group posts and friends-only videos are outside our reach on purpose.

Facebook content belongs to its creators and to the people in the posts. Personal use only, and be careful with videos that show other people — they didn't opt into your re-upload.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download Facebook stories anonymously?
Yes — fetching through PluckVid doesn't register a view because no Facebook session is used.
Can I save private Facebook stories?
No. Public accounts only, permanently.
How long do I have to save a story?
24 hours from posting, same as the story itself. After that it's gone unless re-shared to highlights.
What formats are Facebook stories saved in?
Video stories as MP4 with sound; photo stories as full-resolution images — exactly as Facebook serves them.
Can I download old Facebook stories?
Only while they're live — stories expire 24 hours after posting. Once they're gone from the platform, no tool can retrieve them.
