How to Download Pinterest Videos
Updated: 2026-10-08
Most pins have no download button. Here is how to save the video or photo.
Paste the link of a pin and we fetch the original file: the MP4 for a video, the largest size for a photo, and the real .gif for a GIF.
Pins belong to their creators. Saving for yourself is fine. Ask permission and give credit before you share or publish someone's work.
