How to Save WhatsApp Status Photos and Videos from WhatsApp Web

Save status photos and videos before they disappear.

Updated October 5, 2026 · By OnlineGratis

WhatsApp Status photos and videos are temporary, so a status you want to keep may disappear later. On WhatsApp Web, you can save individual items manually or use a browser workflow to preview and download multiple statuses.

Save one WhatsApp Status item

If you only need one image, the browser's normal save options may be enough. For video or multiple items, a dedicated status-saving workflow is more convenient.

Save multiple statuses from WhatsApp Web

WA Status Saver scans statuses available in the current WhatsApp Web session, shows a visual preview and lets you choose which items to download. It supports photos, videos and batch saving.

Why the statuses must be loaded first

The extension can only work with statuses WhatsApp Web has made available to the current browser session. If a status has expired or is not available to your account, it cannot be retrieved.

Login note: WA Status Saver uses your existing WhatsApp Web session.

Privacy and responsible use

Status content belongs to the person who posted it. Save or share it only when appropriate and with respect for privacy and copyright.
