PinDownloader is a free Pinterest video downloader that works entirely in your browser. Copy the link of a public pin, paste it into the box at the top of this page, and download the Pinterest video as an MP4 file in the best quality the pin offers. There is nothing to install and no account to create, and the same box also saves animated GIFs and full-size images.
Pinterest lets you save a pin to a board, but a board is not a file. To save a Pinterest video for offline cooking, a gym workout, or a design reference, you need the MP4 itself on your phone or computer. Think of PinDownloader as a Pinterest video saver that turns a pin link into a file you keep.
Works with every Pinterest link, including pin.it
Every Pinterest video download starts with a link to one pin, and the downloader accepts every common form of it. A full address such as pinterest.com/pin/123456789 works, and so do country domains like pinterest.co.uk, pinterest.ca, or de.pinterest.com. Links shared from the mobile app usually arrive as pin.it short links, and a pin.it video download works exactly like any other. You can even paste the whole share message the app creates; the tool picks the link out of the text.
That makes it a handy pin it downloader for the short links friends send in chats. The one rule is that the link must open a single pin. Board, profile, and search pages hold many pins at once, so this Pinterest link downloader can't turn them into one file. Open the pin you want, copy its own link, and paste that. Our guide to pin.it short links shows where the Copy link option sits in the app.
HD MP4 files, straight from Pinterest
Pinterest stores each video pin in several renditions. PinDownloader lists every one that can be saved as a single file and puts the highest resolution first, so the top option is normally the HD version: 720p for many pins, and 1080p on the pins where Pinterest provides it. Lower resolutions are listed too, which helps when you want a smaller file to send in a message.
Because this Pinterest video downloader saves the MP4 that Pinterest already serves, nothing is re-encoded. The tool never upscales a clip or pads its resolution, so you get the same quality Pinterest delivers for the pin. That is also why going from Pinterest to MP4 is quick: there is no conversion queue to wait in, only the original file. Each download gets a clear name such as pinterest-123456789-720p.mp4, so it is easy to find later.
A Pinterest video downloader with no watermark
Some download sites stamp their own logo on every file. PinDownloader doesn't. The MP4 you save is the file Pinterest delivers, passed through unchanged, with no added watermark, intro, or end card. If the creator placed their own logo or caption inside the video, it stays there, because removing it would mean editing someone else's work.
Download Pinterest videos on iPhone, Android, and PC
The tool runs in any modern browser, so the same page works as a Pinterest video downloader for iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Chromebook. There is no app to install and no browser extension to trust with your data. Whichever device you use to download video from Pinterest, the steps are the same: copy the link, paste it, and save the file.
- iPhone and iPad: open this page in Safari, paste the link, and tap Download. The MP4 is saved to the Files app under Downloads; open it there and choose Share, then Save Video, to add it to Photos.
- Android: Chrome and most other browsers save the video to the Downloads folder, and it usually appears in your gallery app as well.
- Windows, Mac, and Chromebook: the file goes to your browser's downloads folder, ready to play offline or drop into a video editor.
The complete Pinterest video download guide covers each device step by step, including what to do when a file doesn't appear where you expect.
Idea Pins, GIFs, and images too
Idea Pins, the multi-page pins Pinterest used to call Story Pins, can be pasted like any other pin, so the tool also works as a Pinterest Idea Pin downloader: when the pin contains a video that Pinterest serves as a single file, it appears as an MP4. Animated pins come back as GIF files, plus a lighter MP4 when Pinterest stores one. Image pins are offered at their original size alongside Pinterest's 736, 474, and 236 px versions, and video pins include their cover image as well.
That makes PinDownloader a general Pinterest pin downloader rather than a video-only tool. If you mostly save pictures or animations, the Pinterest image downloader and Pinterest GIF downloader pages explain those formats in more detail.
Free, private, and online
PinDownloader is free to use, with no sign-up and no subscription. You never enter your Pinterest password, and the tool can only read pins that anyone can open without logging in. Using a Pinterest downloader online also means there is nothing to install, update, or leave running on your device.
When you download Pinterest videos online with PinDownloader, the files stream from Pinterest's servers through our download proxy straight to your browser. They are not stored on our side, and the privacy page explains exactly what is processed.
Use downloaded videos responsibly
A public pin is not permission to reuse someone's work. Save videos for personal reference, offline viewing, or projects where you have the creator's permission, and credit the original creator when you share. PinDownloader is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pinterest.
