Pinterest Video Guide
How to Download Pinterest Videos
Pinterest is full of useful video Pins, including recipes, tutorials, design ideas, workouts, DIY projects and short clips. If you want to keep one on your device, the process is usually simple: copy the public Pin link, process it, and save the available video.
If you are trying to learn how to download Pinterest videos, the most important thing is to use the correct individual Pin URL. This guide explains the full process, where downloaded videos usually go on different devices, and what to check when a Pin does not download.
How to Download Videos from Pinterest
1. Open the Pinterest Video Pin
Open Pinterest and select the video you want to download. Make sure you open the actual Pin rather than copying a link from an unrelated profile, board, or feed page.
2. Copy the Pinterest Link
Use Pinterest's Share option and copy the Pin link. Pinterest links may appear as a regular pinterest.com/pin/... URL or, in some cases, a shorter pin.it link.
3. Paste the Link into Download Pin Video
Open the Pinterest Video Downloader and paste the copied Pinterest URL into the input box.
Download Pin Video processes publicly accessible Pinterest Pins and checks what media is available from the source.
4. Review the Available Video
Once the Pin is processed, review the available download option. Video quality depends on what Pinterest provides for that specific Pin.
5. Download the Video
Tap or click the download button and let your browser save the file.
You can also review the How It Works section for a quick overview of the basic Download Pin Video workflow.
How to Download Pinterest Videos on iPhone
On iPhone, the most important thing to know is where Safari puts downloaded files.
After downloading a Pinterest video, it may appear in the Files app rather than directly in Photos.
Open Files → Downloads. If you want the video inside Photos, open the downloaded file, tap the Share button, and choose the available option to save it to Photos when supported.
How to Download Pinterest Videos on Android
Android browsers usually save downloaded files to the Downloads folder.
Depending on your phone and installed apps, the video may also appear in Gallery, Google Photos, Files, My Files, or Downloads.
If the video does not appear in your gallery immediately, check your browser's download history or file manager first.
How to Download Pinterest Videos on PC or Laptop
On a desktop computer, copy the Pinterest Pin URL, paste it into Download Pin Video, and download the available video.
Most browsers save files to the computer's Downloads folder unless you have changed the default download location.
The same basic process works on Windows, Mac, and modern desktop browsers.
Why Won't My Pinterest Video Download?
If a Pin does not process, it does not always mean something is wrong with your browser.
- the Pin is private
- the Pin has been removed
- the link is incomplete
- the content is restricted
- the Pin does not contain supported video media
- the source is temporarily unavailable
Try opening the Pinterest link normally first. If the Pin itself is unavailable, a downloader will usually not be able to access it either.
For more help with supported links and common issues, check the Download Pin Video FAQ.
Where Do Downloaded Pinterest Videos Go?
The location depends on your device. On iPhone and iPad, check the Files app and Downloads folder. On Android, check Downloads, Gallery, Google Photos, or your file manager.
On PC and Mac, check your browser's default Downloads folder. If the download completed but you cannot find the file, the browser's download history is usually the fastest place to check.
Can You Download Pinterest Videos in HD?
Sometimes, but only when the Pin provides that quality. Pinterest videos can be available in different resolutions.
The correct approach is to download the available source quality, not to label a lower-quality file as HD or 4K when the source does not provide it.

Is It Safe to Download Pinterest Videos?
A browser-based downloader should not require you to provide your Pinterest password or install unrelated software just to process a public Pin.
Avoid websites that ask for unnecessary account passwords, browser extensions, or unrelated downloads when all you need is to process a public Pinterest link.
Is It Legal to Download Pinterest Videos?
Downloading a video does not automatically give you ownership or permission to reuse it.
Pinterest content may belong to creators, photographers, publishers, businesses, or other rights holders. If you plan to repost, edit, publish, or use a video commercially, make sure you have the necessary permission.
