PinDownloader is a free Pinterest image downloader that saves the picture from any public pin straight to your device. Copy the pin's link, paste it into the box at the top of this page, and download the Pinterest image in its original size, the largest file Pinterest keeps for that pin. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
Saving a pin to a board keeps it inside Pinterest, and a screenshot only captures what fits on your screen, often with buttons in the way. When you want to save an image from Pinterest for a mood board, a printed recipe card, a phone wallpaper, or a design reference, you need the image file itself. Think of this tool as a Pinterest image saver that hands you that file, untouched.
Download Pinterest images in original size
Pinterest keeps several copies of every image it shows. PinDownloader reads the pin and lists the copies Pinterest serves, largest first. When the uploaded original is available, it sits at the top as Original: the biggest file Pinterest stores for that pin and the best choice for printing, zooming in, or editing. Pinterest may have resized or compressed it on upload, so it can be smaller than the creator's own copy, but it is the best version Pinterest has.
Below it you'll usually find Pinterest's standard sizes, 736, 474, and 236 px wide. They match a pin's close-up view, the home feed grid, and small thumbnails, and the height follows the image's shape, so nothing is stretched. Pick a smaller width when you want a lighter file for a message or a slow connection. The Pinterest image size guide compares each option in more detail.
HD photos with no watermark
This Pinterest photo downloader passes the file through exactly as Pinterest delivers it. There is no added watermark, no crop, no sharpening, and no recompression, so a high-resolution original arrives as the same HD photo Pinterest stores. The tool never upscales a small image to make it look bigger, which means the size label in the list describes the file you actually get.
The file format comes from Pinterest as well. Most pins are JPG, while some originals are PNG or WebP, and the Original option keeps whichever format the pin uses. Each download gets a clear name such as pinterest-123456789-original.jpg, so it is easy to find later.
Works with every Pinterest link, including pin.it
Every download starts with a link to one pin, in any of its common forms. A full address such as pinterest.com/pin/123456789 works, and so do country domains like pinterest.co.uk or de.pinterest.com and the pin.it short links the app creates when you tap Share. You can even paste the whole share message; the tool picks the link out of the text. That makes it a quick Pinterest pin downloader for the links friends send you in chats.
The one rule is that the link must open a single pin. Boards, profiles, and search pages hold many pins at once, so they can't be downloaded in one go. Open the image you want, copy its own link, and paste that. The guide to pin.it short links shows where Copy link sits in the app.
Save Pinterest images on iPhone, Android, and PC
The tool runs in any modern browser, so the same page works as a Pinterest image downloader for iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Chromebook, with no app or browser extension to install. Tap the preview to see the photo at full size first, then choose a size and save it.
- iPhone and iPad: open this page in Safari, paste the link, and tap Download. The image is saved to the Files app under Downloads; open it there and choose Share, then Save Image, to add it to Photos.
- Android: Chrome and most other browsers save the image 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 open in any photo viewer or editor.
Whichever device you use to download images from Pinterest, the steps stay the same: copy the link, paste it, and save the file.
Cover images, GIFs, and videos too
Not every pin is a still photo, and the same box handles the others. Paste a video pin and you can save its cover image alongside the MP4 video. Paste an animated pin and the result switches to GIF files, plus an MP4 version when Pinterest stores one.
That makes PinDownloader a general Pinterest picture downloader rather than a photo-only tool. For moving pins, the Pinterest GIF downloader explains GIF and MP4 files, and the Pinterest video downloader covers video pins with sound.
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, so secret boards and private accounts stay private. Because it is a Pinterest downloader online, there is nothing to install, update, or leave running on your device.
Images 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 images responsibly
Most images on Pinterest belong to the photographers, artists, and brands who made them, and pinning doesn't grant reuse rights. Save images for personal reference, mood boards, or projects where you have permission, and credit the creator when you share. PinDownloader is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pinterest.
