Pinterest Video Downloader

Download Pinterest Videos as MP4 Files

Pinterest is built for saving ideas, not files. When you hit the Save button on a video pin, it goes to one of your boards — it never lands on your device. There's no official export either, so if you want a recipe clip or workout demo available offline, the board alone won't help.

That's the gap this Pinterest video downloader fills. Pinterest streams its videos as MP4, and this tool finds the direct file behind any public pin so you can save it to your phone or computer. Nothing gets re-encoded, so the quality and audio match the original upload exactly. It all happens in your browser — no account, no software, no cost.

How to download videos from Pinterest

1. Copy the pin link. On desktop, open the video pin and copy the URL from the address bar. In the Pinterest app, tap Share, then Copy link. Short pin.it links from the share menu work just as well as full URLs.
2. Paste it above. Drop the link into the input box and hit Download.
3. Pick a quality and save. Choose from the available resolutions and the MP4 downloads straight to your device.

The whole process takes about ten seconds. If you'd like screenshots for each step, our guide on how to download Pinterest videos walks through it on every platform.

What quality can you expect?

You'll typically see 480p, 720p, or 1080p options, depending on what the creator uploaded. Pinterest doesn't upscale, so if a pin was posted in 720p, that's the ceiling. Audio is always included in the MP4 — no separate track to merge and no muted files.

Works on iPhone, Android, PC, and Mac

Because this is a web tool, there's no app or APK to install:

• iPhone and iPad: paste the link in Safari, download, then use the share sheet to save the video to Files or Photos.
• Android: the MP4 lands in your Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery automatically.
• PC and Mac: the file saves to your downloads folder in any browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.

Sideloading an APK for something a browser tab handles fine is an unnecessary risk, so we'd suggest skipping those even if you don't use this site.

Why save Pinterest videos at all?

The most common reasons we hear: keeping recipe videos handy while cooking without hunting through boards, saving workout clips for the gym where signal is patchy, collecting DIY and craft tutorials for a weekend project, and building offline folders of design inspiration for client work. A pin can vanish whenever its creator deletes it — a local copy can't.

Only need the still image or an animated pin instead? Use the Pinterest image downloader or the Pinterest GIF downloader — same idea, different formats. And for videos from other platforms, the all-in-one downloader on our homepage covers TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and more.

Troubleshooting failed downloads

A few things commonly break a download:

• Private or secret boards. If a pin isn't publicly visible, there's no file to fetch. Test the link in an incognito window — if it won't load there, it won't download.
• Deleted pins. A link copied weeks ago may point to a pin that no longer exists.
• Idea pins with multiple segments. These are stitched from several short clips, and some segments are images rather than video. You may only get part of the pin, or need to save segments individually.
• VPNs and slow networks. Some VPN endpoints get rate-limited by Pinterest's servers. If a download stalls, try disconnecting the VPN or switching from cellular to Wi-Fi.

A note on copyright

Videos on Pinterest belong to the people who made them. Saving a clip to watch offline is generally fine; reposting someone else's work as your own or using it commercially without permission is not. When in doubt, ask the creator — most are happy to be credited.
