How do I download Pinterest videos and images?
Copy the Pinterest pin URL (from your browser's address bar or by tapping Share → Copy Link), paste it into our downloader, and click Download. We extract the highest quality media—1080p video with sound or original resolution images—directly to your device. No app or extension needed.
Why did my Pinterest video download fail?
Common causes: The pin is private or deleted, the URL wasn't copied correctly, or there's a temporary API issue. Ensure you're downloading from a public pin. Web-based tools can't access private boards—you'd need a browser extension with your login session for those.
Why does my downloaded Pinterest video have no sound?
Pinterest streams audio and video as separate tracks. Low-quality downloaders may miss the audio. Our tool merges both automatically. If still silent, the audio may be geoblocked due to music licensing—try using a VPN to change your region.
Is it legal to download videos from Pinterest?
Downloading for personal offline viewing (time-shifting) is a legal grey area but generally tolerated. However, redistributing, selling, or reposting content without the creator's permission violates copyright law and Pinterest's Terms of Service.
Can I download entire Pinterest boards at once?
Our web tool downloads individual pins. For bulk board downloading (hundreds of pins), use browser extensions like 'Pin Toolbox' or 'Pinpasta' for Chrome. These extensions use your login session to automate scrolling and saving entire boards as ZIP archives.
What's the highest resolution I can download?
For images: We extract the 'original' upload resolution from Pinterest's CDN—often 2000px+ wide depending on what the creator uploaded. For videos: 1080p HD is the maximum standard streaming quality Pinterest provides.
How do I download Pinterest videos on iPhone?
Use Safari: copy the pin link, paste it into our downloader, tap Download. Videos may open in a new tab—tap Share → Save to Files. For power users, iOS Shortcuts like 'Cobalt' or 'R Download' can automate downloads directly from the Share menu.
Do I need a Pinterest account to download?
No account needed for public pins. Our downloader works with any public Pinterest URL. You don't need to be logged in to Pinterest or create any account with us. Completely anonymous.
Are Pinterest downloaders safe to use?
Web-based tools like ours are safe—no software to install, no extensions, no APKs. We don't ask for your Pinterest password. Be cautious with Android APKs from unknown sources; stick to the Play Store for mobile apps.
Does Pinterest add watermarks to downloads?
No. Pinterest doesn't add watermarks to content. We download the source file before any app-layer modifications, so you get clean, pristine media. If an image has a watermark, the original creator added it.
Why is the downloaded image lower quality than expected?
We always fetch the highest resolution Pinterest has (the 'orig' size). If the download looks low-quality, the original uploader saved a small image. We can only download what exists on Pinterest's servers.
Can I download Pinterest Idea Pins/Stories?
Idea Pins (formerly Story Pins) contain multiple video/image 'pages.' Advanced downloaders treat these as playlists, downloading each page separately. Our tool currently focuses on standard single-media pins for best reliability.
