How to download from Pinterest

Copy the pin address, paste it here, save the file.

By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open the pin and copy its address

    From the browser bar, or the share menu in the app. It looks like pinterest.com/pin/1234567890.

  2. 2

    Paste it and press Start

    Country domains work too — pinterest.co.uk, pinterest.de, pinterest.fr and the rest.

  3. 3

    Save the file

    A video pin gives an MP4. A pin that is only a photo has no video to take.

Every country domain works, short links do not

Pinterest runs a domain per market, and people copy whichever one their browser was on. All of them are accepted here, matched by a pattern anchored at both ends so that only a genuine Pinterest domain passes and a lookalike like pinterest.com.example.net does not:

  • pinterest.com, and the two-letter forms: pinterest.de, pinterest.fr, pinterest.es
  • pinterest.co.uk and the other co.xx variants
  • pinterest.com.au and the other com.xx variants

pin.it short links are deliberately refused, for the same reason fb.watch is: a redirector inside a list of permitted sites means the list permits everything. Open the short link once and copy the address it lands on.

Not every pin is a video

Most of Pinterest is still photographs, and a photo pin has no video file behind it. The page will say there is nothing to take rather than producing an empty file.

Idea pins with several slides give the video they contain. The still slides are images, not something this converts.

Frequently asked questions

Does pinterest.co.uk work?

Yes, and so does every other country domain.

Why is my pin.it link refused?

It is a redirector, and allowing those would make the whole permitted-sites list meaningless. Open it once and copy the full address.

Can I save a photo?

This tool converts video and audio. A photo is already a file you can save from the browser itself.
