How to Download Pinterest Videos
Copy the Pinterest Link

Paste the URL Above
Come back to this page and paste the copied Pinterest link into the input box above. You can also tap the Paste button to instantly paste from your clipboard.

Pinterest doesn’t let you save pins —
this tool does
Pinterest has no built-in download button for videos, images, or GIFs. This free downloader fills that gap with a single paste-and-tap workflow.
Pinterest is a goldmine of visual content — recipes, decor ideas, fashion inspiration, DIY tutorials — but the platform intentionally omits a download button from its own UI. If you want to keep a pin for offline reference, share it outside the app, or use it in your own content workflow, you’re stuck screenshotting or recording your screen.
This tool solves that in three seconds. Paste any public pin URL — whether it’s a full pinterest.com/pin/… link or a shortened pin.it/… share link — and you’ll get the original file back as an MP4, JPG, PNG, or GIF. No watermarks, no cropping, no recompression. Exactly what the creator uploaded.
Download any pin in 3 steps
No extensions, no accounts, no software — just a pin URL and your browser.
Copy the pin URL
Open the pin in Pinterest. Tap the share icon and choose Copy link. Both pinterest.com/pin/… and pin.it/… formats are supported.
Paste it above
Drop the link into the download box at the top of this page. The tool auto-detects whether the pin is a video, image, GIF, or Idea Pin.
Select quality & save
Pick your preferred quality (up to 1080p when the creator uploaded HD) and tap Download. The file saves to your device instantly.
What you can download
Every public pin type is supported — not just videos.
Video Pins
MP4 video files saved directly from Pinterest’s CDN — up to 1080p when the creator uploaded HD.
Images (JPG / PNG)
Full-resolution photos and graphics in the original format — recipes, wallpapers, decor, and more.
Animated GIFs
Preserved as true animated GIFs — not converted to static frames or short videos.
Idea Pins
Multi-page story pins — each page (video or image) is extracted where publicly hosted.
How to download on your device
The steps differ slightly depending on your operating system. Pick the one that matches you.
Android
- Open the pin in Chrome, Samsung Internet, or Firefox.
- Tap the share icon and Copy link.
- Paste the link into the downloader above.
- Select quality and tap Download.
Files save to your Downloads folder — accessible from the Files, My Files, or Gallery app.
iPhone / iPad
- Open the pin in Safari.
- Tap share → Copy link.
- Paste the link into the downloader.
- Tap Download — iOS will ask where to save it.
Videos land in the Files app, not Camera Roll. To save to Photos, open Files and long-press → Save to Photos. For direct-to-Photos saving, Documents by Readdle is the easiest helper.
Desktop
- Open the pin on pinterest.com.
- Right-click the pin (or use the share button) → Copy link.
- Paste into the downloader above.
- Select quality and click Download.
Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS in every modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Arc.

Why Pinterest has no built-in download
It’s a deliberate product decision — not a technical limitation.
Pinterest’s business model depends on keeping users inside the app. Every saved pin, click-through, and re-pin is a signal the recommendation engine uses to serve more ads and more sponsored content. An official download button would let people grab content and leave — bad for engagement metrics, bad for advertiser ROI.
Pinterest also leans hard on copyright concerns. A prominent download button would invite arguments that the platform is facilitating unauthorized copying of creator content. By omitting one, Pinterest shifts that responsibility onto users and third-party tools.
The result is a platform packed with visual content you can’t easily take with you. Third-party downloaders exist because the demand is obvious — millions of people search “how to download Pinterest video” every month.
What format do you get?
A quick technical primer on file formats, resolution, and audio.
Video → MP4 (H.264)
All Pinterest video pins are delivered as MP4 files — the platform’s native CDN format. MP4 plays on every device, browser, and video editor: iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, Premiere, Final Cut, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, and so on. You never need to convert.
The 720p cap (and when 1080p is possible)
Pinterest re-encodes most uploaded videos to a 720p master. If the creator uploaded an HD file, the platform sometimes keeps a 1080p rendition available — in those cases this tool will expose it as an option. Anything above 1080p is effectively not served by Pinterest’s CDN.
Audio
Audio is bundled inside the MP4 (AAC codec). If you need an audio-only file, extract it with a free online converter like Convertio or CloudConvert — no install required.
Images & GIFs
Still images come down in their original JPG or PNG. GIFs stay as real animated GIFs — not looped videos, not frame-stripped stills.
Safety & legal considerations
What you can and can’t do with downloaded pins — in plain English.
Downloading a Pinterest pin for personal, non-commercial use — saving a recipe to read later, collecting decor inspiration, referencing a tutorial — typically falls under fair use in the United States under 17 U.S.C. § 107. Similar principles apply in most other countries, though the specifics differ.
Where it gets risky is redistribution and commercial use. Re-uploading someone else’s pin to your social channels, embedding it in a monetized blog post, or using it in paid advertising without permission can constitute copyright infringement — regardless of how you obtained the file.
If your content appears on Pinterest without consent, you can file a takedown under the DMCA through Pinterest’s intellectual property and privacy portal.
Troubleshooting common issues
Most problems fall into one of these six buckets. Here’s how to fix each.
1. “URL not supported” or “Invalid link”
You probably pasted a board URL or profile URL instead of a pin URL. Open the specific pin first, then copy its link — it should contain /pin/ or start with pin.it/.
2. Download fails or hangs halfway
Usually a transient network issue or a rate-limit on Pinterest’s side. Wait 60 seconds, refresh the page, and paste the URL again. Switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) often helps.
3. Video saves but has no sound
The original pin was uploaded without audio — creators frequently mute videos for autoplay. Check by opening the pin on Pinterest; if it’s silent there, it’ll be silent in the download.
4. iPhone saves video to Files, not Photos
That’s iOS Safari’s default behavior for MP4 downloads. Open the Files app, find the video in Downloads, long-press it, and choose Save to Photos. Or use Documents by Readdle for one-tap Photo saves.
5. Only 720p is available — no 1080p option
The creator didn’t upload an HD source, so Pinterest’s CDN doesn’t store a 1080p rendition. 720p is the maximum in that case — no tool can conjure quality that isn’t there.
6. Need to download dozens of pins at once
This tool processes one pin at a time by design. For bulk archiving of entire boards, a dedicated desktop app like WFDownloader is purpose-built for that workflow.
