Facebook story viewer
Watch a public profile or page's live stories in your browser. Type the username and the frames start playing on their own, exactly the way they do inside the app, with a save button on every one.
Public accounts only. A private account cannot be read without following it, and we never ask you to sign in.
How it works
Paste the link or drop your file, nothing to install.
We fetch the media and pick the best available quality.
Save the result straight to your device, no sign up.
Why people use it
Files stream straight to your device. We keep no copy of the video or the link.
No sign up, no email, no tracking pixel. Paste a link and save the file.
Every tool on the site is free to use, with no daily download cap.
We pick the highest stream the source offers, up to 4K where it exists.
One paste, one click. No queues, no waiting rooms, no forced ads between steps.
Runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet and desktop. Nothing to install.
How to watch a Facebook story here
Type the username or the page name that sits after facebook.com in the address bar. The lookup starts as soon as the name is complete, so there is nothing else to press.
Frames play in order with the progress bars along the top. Tap the right side for the next one, the left side to go back, and the pause button to hold a frame in place.
Pages, profiles and links
Public pages and public profiles both work. If you already have a story link, paste the whole address instead of a username and it resolves to the frames inside.
Ordinary videos and reels are a different thing, so send those to our [Facebook video downloader](/facebook-video-downloader).
Watching and saving
Every frame carries a save button and the file comes down through your own browser at the resolution Facebook serves.
Stories expire 24 hours after posting, so a frame worth keeping has to be saved while it is still live.
What cannot be viewed
Anything limited to friends or a custom audience. Only what Facebook shows the public is reachable, because nothing here signs in as you.
That also means the account never sees your name in its viewer list, and no password is ever asked for.
Questions people ask
Do I need a Facebook account?
No. There is no login step here, so a browser is enough.
Will the person know I watched?
No. Nothing signs in as you, so your name never enters the story viewer list.
Can I watch a friends only story?
No. Only public profiles and pages can be read without an account.
How long do Facebook stories stay up?
Twenty four hours from posting, then they are gone unless the owner archived them.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It runs in the browser you already have on iPhone and Android.
