How to Download a Pinterest Video Step by Step

Copy the pin link. Open the Pinterest video pin you want and copy its link from the share option, so you have the exact URL of that pin.
Paste the link. Drop the copied link into the input box. The tool reads the link to locate the video in the pin it points to.
Prepare the download. The tool processes the link and prepares the video for downloading, retrieving it from behind the pin's player.
Choose the quality if offered. If given options, select the quality you want. A higher quality gives a better picture but a larger file, so balance quality against size.
Download the video. Save the video to your device, ready to view offline whenever you like, without needing a connection or the Pinterest app.

What Pinterest Is and Why People Download Videos

Pinterest is a visual discovery platform where users find and save ideas, images and videos, organised onto boards, for inspiration on everything from recipes to design to projects. Video content, in the form of video pins, is a significant part of Pinterest. As with any platform hosting video, people sometimes want to save one to view offline, which is where a downloader retrieves the video behind the pin's player.

The reasons for downloading a Pinterest video centre on offline access and keeping content. A downloaded video plays without an internet connection, useful when travelling or without connectivity, and it gives a stable copy that remains available even if the pin is later removed. Saving a video you have the right to keep means retaining access to inspiring or useful content independently of the platform.

Respect creators' rights, and note pins are often from elsewhere. Videos on Pinterest are creators' copyrighted work, and pins are often linked or reposted from other sources. Download your own content, videos offered for download, or where you have permission, respecting the rights of the original creators, not just the pinner.

Downloading through a tool differs from saving a pin to a board within Pinterest. Saving to a board keeps the pin within Pinterest, still requiring the app and a connection to view, and organised in your Pinterest account. Downloading retrieves the actual video file to your device, which you can view offline in any player, independent of Pinterest. These are different kinds of saving, one within the platform and one to your own device.

As with all downloading, respecting rights and permissions is essential. Videos on Pinterest are the creative work of those who made them, and pins are often linked from or reposted from other sources, adding rights considerations. Downloading is appropriate for your own content, videos offered for download, or content where you have permission. Downloading or redistributing others' videos without authorisation infringes their rights, so a downloader is for legitimate offline access.

Pro Tips for Downloading Pinterest Videos

Copy the exact pin link. Make sure you copy the link to the specific video pin you want, from its share option, so the downloader targets the correct pin rather than a board or feed.

Only download content you may save. Confirm you have the right to download the video, your own content, videos offered for download, or where you have permission, respecting the creator's rights.

Note pins may come from elsewhere. Pinterest pins are often linked or reposted from other sources, so the pinner may not be the original creator. Bear this in mind for rights, since the original creator's rights still apply.

Convert the format if needed. If the downloaded video is in a format your device does not play, our Video Converter changes it to a compatible one for smooth offline viewing.

Extract audio if that is all you need. If you only want the sound, our Video to MP3 tool extracts the audio, giving a much smaller file than the full video.

Distinguish downloading from saving to a board. Saving a pin keeps it within Pinterest, while downloading gives you a standalone file. Use downloading when you want a copy on your own device, independent of the app.

Common Pinterest Download Mistakes to Avoid

Downloading content without the right to. Videos on Pinterest are copyrighted creative works, and pins are often from other sources. Downloading material you have no right to save, or redistributing it, infringes the creator's rights. Download only your own content, videos offered for download, or material where you have permission.

Assuming the pinner is the creator. Pinterest pins are often linked or reposted from elsewhere, so the person who pinned a video may not be its original creator. Assuming the pinner holds the rights can be mistaken, since the original creator's rights apply. Bear this in mind when considering whether you may save content.

Copying the wrong link. Copying a board or feed link instead of the specific pin's link means the downloader cannot find the video. Always copy the link from the individual video pin you want to save.

Confusing saving to a board with downloading. Saving a pin to a board keeps it within Pinterest, still needing the app to view, while downloading gives a standalone file on your device. Confusing the two means you may not get the offline, independent copy you intended, so use downloading for that.

To make the downloaded video play anywhere, our Video Converter changes its format, the Video to MP3 tool extracts just the audio, and the Video Compressor reduces the file size for easier storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I download a Pinterest video?

Copy the link to the specific Pinterest video pin from its share option, paste it into the input box, and the tool prepares the video for download, offering quality options where available. Choose your preferred quality and save the video to your device for offline viewing as a standalone file. Ensure you have the right to download the video, such as your own content, material offered for download, or content where you have permission, bearing in mind that pins are often from other sources.

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a visual discovery platform where users find and save ideas, images and videos, organised onto boards, for inspiration on everything from recipes to design to projects. Video content, in the form of video pins, is a significant part of Pinterest. Like other platforms hosting video, people sometimes want to save a video for offline viewing, which a downloader enables by retrieving the video behind the pin's player. This gives a standalone copy on your device, subject to having the right to download the content and respecting creators' rights.

Is it legal to download Pinterest videos?

It depends on the content and your rights to it. Videos on Pinterest are copyrighted creative works, and pins are often linked or reposted from other sources, so the original creator may not be the pinner. Downloading is appropriate for your own content, videos offered for download, or content where you have permission. Downloading or redistributing others' videos without authorisation infringes their rights, whether the pinner's or an original creator's elsewhere. Always respect the rights involved and use the downloader for legitimate offline access to content you may save.

What is the difference between downloading and saving a pin to a board?

Saving a pin to a board keeps it within Pinterest, organised in your account, but still requiring the app and a connection to view. Downloading with a tool retrieves the actual video file to your device, which you can view offline in any player, independent of Pinterest. So saving to a board is about organising ideas within the platform, while downloading gives you a standalone, portable copy on your own device. They are different kinds of saving: one within Pinterest, and one to your device for offline, independent access.

Are Pinterest pins original content?

Not always. Pinterest pins are often linked or reposted from other sources across the web, so the person who pinned a video may not be its original creator. This is an important consideration for rights: the original creator's rights still apply, regardless of who pinned the content. So when considering whether you may download a Pinterest video, remember that the pinner may not hold the rights, and you should have a proper basis to save the content, such as it being your own, offered for download, or you having permission from the rights holder.

Can I choose the video quality?

Where the video is available in more than one quality, the tool offers you a choice. A higher quality gives a better picture but produces a larger file that uses more storage, while a lower quality saves space at some cost to the picture. Choose the level that suits how you will view the video and the storage you have available, balancing picture quality against file size for your particular needs and the device you plan to watch it on. This lets you get the version that best fits your viewing and storage.

What if the downloaded video will not play on my device?

This usually means the video is in a format your device or player does not support. You can convert it to a widely compatible format, such as a common video format that most devices play, using a video converter. This translates the file into a form your device can handle, so it plays smoothly offline. Checking format compatibility, and converting if needed, ensures your downloaded video is actually watchable where you want to view it, giving you a usable offline copy of the content you saved.

Is the Pinterest video downloader free?

Yes, it is completely free with no account and no usage limit. You can download as many videos as you have the right to save, as often as you like, at no cost. It runs in your browser on any device, so there is nothing to download or install, and the video is prepared for saving the moment you paste a valid link, ready for offline viewing on your device, subject to respecting creators' rights and bearing in mind that pins often come from other sources.
