How to Download Pinterest Videos, Images & GIFs (2026)

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

1. Open Pinterest and find the video pin you want
2. Click the share icon (or the three-dot menu on mobile)
3. Select “Copy link”

   Tip: Make sure the URL starts with https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ or https://pin.it/. Both formats work.

Step 2: Paste Into SaveKit

1. Visit savekit.io
2. Paste the Pinterest link into the download box
3. Hit the Download button

Step 3: Choose Quality & Save

1. Pick your preferred resolution — HD is recommended for video pins
2. Click Download to save the file
3. 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:

1. Copy the pin link from Pinterest
2. Paste it into SaveKit at savekit.io
3. 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:

1. Copy the GIF pin URL
2. Paste into SaveKit
3. 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

Frequently Asked Questions

How to download Pinterest videos?

Open the pin you want to save, tap the three-dot menu and choose Copy Link. Paste the URL into the SaveKit Pinterest Downloader and click Download. The video saves as an MP4 to your device — no Pinterest login required.

How to download videos from Pinterest on iPhone?

On iPhone, open Safari or Chrome and visit savekit.io/pinterest-downloader. Paste the pin URL, tap Download, then long-press the video and Save to Photos. Pinterest’s mobile app blocks direct video saving — SaveKit works around that entirely in the browser.

How to download a Pinterest video on PC or laptop?

On Windows, Mac, or Linux, open any browser and go to savekit.io/pinterest-downloader. Right-click the pin → Copy link, paste into SaveKit, click Download. The MP4 saves to your default Downloads folder.

Can you download videos from Pinterest legally?

Downloading Pinterest videos for personal use (offline viewing, mood boards, inspiration libraries) is generally acceptable. Always respect the original creator’s copyright — don’t redistribute or commercially use other people’s pins without permission.

How to download Pinterest images in original resolution?

SaveKit detects the highest-resolution version of any pin image and downloads it directly. Use the same paste-and-download flow — the result is the same image quality the creator uploaded, with no Pinterest watermark or compression.

How to download Pinterest GIFs as MP4?

Paste the GIF pin URL into SaveKit. Pinterest stores most GIFs as MP4s natively, so SaveKit downloads them as smooth MP4 files (smaller and higher quality than the GIF format) ready to share or embed anywhere.

Why is my Pinterest video download not working?

Common causes: the pin is from a private board, the URL is incomplete or expired, or the pin’s video has been deleted. Refresh Pinterest, re-copy the URL from the pin’s share menu, and try again. Idea Pins (multi-page pins) require the specific page URL, not the pin overview.

Can I download an entire Pinterest board?

Not in one click — SaveKit downloads pins individually because Pinterest’s API rate-limits bulk requests. Open each pin, copy the link, paste into SaveKit. For large boards, this takes a minute or two but is the safest method that won’t trigger Pinterest blocks.

Do I need a Pinterest account to download pins?

No. SaveKit doesn’t require a Pinterest login or any account. Public pins (the vast majority) are accessible directly. Only pins from private boards require you to be logged in to Pinterest itself.
