How to Download Pinterest Videos: A Quick Guide
Pinterest is full of short how-to videos — recipes, hair tutorials, DIY projects, workouts. Saving a pin to a board keeps it inside Pinterest, but if you want the video file itself (to watch offline or keep forever), here’s what to do.
Step 1: Copy the pin link
- Open the video pin.
- Tap the Share button (the upward arrow).
- Choose Copy link.
The app often gives a short link like pin.it/abc123. That works the same as a full pinterest.com/pin/… link.
Step 2: Paste and download
Open the Pinterest video downloader, paste the link and press Download. Choose the MP4 option and the file saves to your device.
What quality will I get?
Pinterest usually stores videos in up to 720p. The downloader always picks the best version available.
Image pins and idea pins
This tool is for video pins. For a regular image pin, you can long-press the image in the Pinterest app and save it directly. If an idea pin mixes photos and video, only the video part can be downloaded.
Tips
- Many Pinterest videos are re-shares from TikTok or Instagram. If you can find the original, you may get a higher-quality version from there.
- Save tutorials you love before the creator removes them — but keep them for personal use and give credit if you share.
