The Complete Guide to Downloading Pinterest Content
Pinterest has become one of the world's most-used platforms for visual discovery — from DIY home décor and recipe videos to fitness routines and travel photography. Yet despite having billions of pins, Pinterest has never added a straightforward download button for videos. If you've ever found a recipe tutorial or a beautifully edited clip you wanted to keep, you know the frustration. That's exactly the gap our Pinterest Video Downloader was built to fill.
Our tool works with every type of Pinterest media: MP4 videos, static images (JPG and PNG), and animated GIFs. It runs entirely in your browser — no software to install, no account to create, and no limits on how many pins you can save.
How to Download Pinterest Videos on Android
Android users have the easiest experience — no extra apps needed. Your regular Chrome browser is all it takes.
- Open the Pinterest app and find the pin you want to save.
- Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top-right corner of the pin.
- Select Copy Link.
- Open Chrome and visit PinterestVideoDownload.net.
- Paste the link and tap Download. The file saves directly to your Downloads folder or Gallery.
How to Save Pinterest Videos on iPhone (iOS)
On iPhone, the key is to use Safari — not Chrome. Safari on iOS 13 and above supports direct file downloads, which makes saving videos straightforward.
- Open Pinterest and find the pin you want.
- Tap the Share icon and select Copy Link.
- Open Safari and go to our site.
- Paste the link and tap Download. Confirm when prompted.
- Tap the download icon in Safari's toolbar, open the file, then tap Share → Save Video to move it to your Photos app.
How to Download from Pinterest on PC (Windows & Mac)
Desktop downloading is the fastest and most reliable option, especially for large video files.
- Go to Pinterest.com in your browser and open the pin you want.
- Copy the URL from the address bar (Ctrl+L then Ctrl+C on Windows; Cmd+L then Cmd+C on Mac).
- Open a new tab, come back here, and paste the link.
- Click Download. Right-click the link and choose Save Link As… to pick your destination folder.
