Pinterest is a goldmine for inspiration — recipes, DIY projects, fashion lookbooks, and viral videos. But what happens when you want to save a pin for offline use? This guide shows you how to download Pinterest videos, images, and GIFs in seconds.
Why Save Pins From Pinterest?
There are plenty of good reasons to download Pinterest content:
- Offline access — Browse saved pins without Wi-Fi
- Mood boards — Collect inspiration in a local folder
- Backup your own pins — Keep copies of content you’ve uploaded
- Cross-platform sharing — Repost on other platforms (always credit the creator)
How to Download Pinterest Videos
Step 1: Copy the Pin URL
- Open Pinterest and find the video pin you want
- Click the share icon (or the three-dot menu on mobile)
- Select “Copy link”
Tip: Make sure the URL starts with
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/orhttps://pin.it/. Both formats work.
Step 2: Paste Into SaveKit
- Visit savekit.io
- Paste the Pinterest link into the download box
- Hit the Download button
Step 3: Choose Quality & Save
- Pick your preferred resolution — HD is recommended for video pins
- Click Download to save the file
- The video saves directly to your device — no watermark, no signup
That’s it — three steps and your pin download is complete.
How to Download Pinterest Images
The process is the same for images:
- Copy the pin link from Pinterest
- Paste it into SaveKit at savekit.io
- Download the full-resolution image
SaveKit grabs the highest available resolution so you get crisp, clear images every time.
How to Download Pinterest GIFs
Pinterest hosts plenty of animated GIFs. SaveKit handles these the same way:
- Copy the GIF pin URL
- Paste into SaveKit
- Download — the file saves as an animated GIF (not a static image)
Tips for Best Results
- Use the direct pin URL — Links from search results or boards work best
- Check pin availability — Deleted or private pins can’t be downloaded
- Respect creators — Always give credit when resharing downloaded content
- Try different browsers — If a download doesn’t start, switch browsers or clear your cache
