MediaPuller provides an anonymous Instagram Story viewer for checking active public Stories by username. Enter an Instagram username or public profile URL in the form above to see the Story photos and videos that are currently available for that account. You do not need to sign in with your personal Instagram account to use the viewer.
Instagram Stories are temporary, so results can change throughout the day. A Story may disappear because it has expired, the creator removed it, the account became private, or Instagram no longer makes the media available. MediaPuller shows only content that can be accessed at the time of the request and does not bypass account privacy settings.
An Instagram Story viewer is useful when you want to check public Story updates without using your personal Instagram profile. MediaPuller does not ask for your Instagram username or password. The only information you need to submit is the username or profile address of the public account whose active Stories you want to view.
When public Story media is available, the results can include photos and videos together with the profile name and publication time. You can open each result in your browser and move through the available Stories without installing an app or browser extension.
A username such as example, @example, or a profile address such as instagram.com/example can be used. Profile URLs are normalized before the request, so you do not need to remove the protocol or trailing slash manually.
You can use this page without connecting your personal Instagram account. MediaPuller does not ask you to authorize an Instagram application, follow the profile, like a post, or send a message. This keeps your personal Instagram credentials separate from the Story-viewing request.
Anonymous viewing does not mean that private content becomes public. Private accounts, restricted profiles, Close Friends Stories, blocked media, and content that requires special permission are not available through this viewer. The tool is intended only for active Story media from profiles that the service can legitimately access.
Instagram Stories can contain portrait photos, short videos, text overlays, music, stickers, links, and other interactive elements. MediaPuller displays the available photo or video file, but some Instagram-specific interactive features may not work outside the Instagram application. For example, polls, questions, countdowns, reactions, and tappable stickers may appear only as part of the visual media.
This page is designed specifically for Stories, not for regular feed posts, Reels, profile highlights, or live broadcasts. If an account has public posts but no active Stories, the viewer will return an empty result until that account publishes a new Story.
No result does not always mean that the username is incorrect. Instagram Stories normally remain active for a limited time, and an account may simply have no current Story. Results can also be unavailable when a profile is private, a Story was deleted, the media is restricted by region or age, Instagram temporarily limits access, or the website session needs to be renewed.
Check the spelling of the username and try again later. If possible, confirm that the profile is public and currently has an active Story. Repeated automated requests may also be limited, so allowing some time before another attempt can help.
The viewer works in modern browsers on Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS, and other desktop or mobile devices. No additional software is required. Video playback and file-opening behavior can differ by browser, so a video may open in the built-in player before it can be saved or viewed full screen.
MediaPuller does not post, like, follow, comment, or send notifications from your personal Instagram account. However, no online tool should be treated as a guarantee of complete invisibility under every future Instagram platform change. Use the viewer responsibly and respect the privacy, copyright, and rights of content owners.
Do not republish, distribute, or commercially use Story media unless you have permission or another valid legal basis. The availability of public media does not automatically grant ownership or reuse rights.
You can view available public Instagram Stories without signing in with your personal Instagram account. MediaPuller does not ask for your personal Instagram credentials or use your profile to follow, like, or message the account.
No personal Instagram account is required. Enter the public username or profile URL you want to check and MediaPuller will look for currently available Stories.

Yes. When available, MediaPuller can display both Story photos and Story videos. Interactive stickers, polls, music controls, and other in-app elements may not remain interactive outside Instagram.

Yes. Open MediaPuller in a modern mobile browser, enter the Instagram username, and view the available Story results without installing an additional application.
