Download Pinterest video pins and idea pins as MP4 in the best quality stored. Free, no signup, works with pin.it links on iPhone, Android and desktop.
A Pinterest video downloader retrieves the MP4 behind a video pin. Pinterest hosts video as MP4 with H.264 at up to 1080p and provides no save option anywhere in its interface. Idea pins are a separate multi-page format where each page holds its own image or video clip.
Pinterest gives you no way to save a video pin — there is no download option in the app or on the web, and screen recording catches your own interface. This tool takes any public pin link and returns the MP4 Pinterest stores, at the best resolution available. Idea pins work too, with each page returned separately.
Tap the share icon on the pin and choose Copy link. Short pin.it links and any country domain such as pinterest.co.uk work here.
Pinterest is detected automatically, and we work out whether the pin is a single video or a multi-page idea pin.
Each rendition Pinterest stores is listed with its real file size before you download.
There is no save option for video anywhere in Pinterest's app or website. This is the only route short of screen recording, which loses quality and captures your interface.
An idea pin is a multi-page format, not a single video. Each page carries its own clip or image, and all of them come back separately rather than only the cover.
pinterest.com, pinterest.co.uk, pinterest.de, pinterest.com.au and the rest all resolve, and pin.it short links are expanded automatically.
Pinterest stores video and audio together in one MP4, so the file plays with sound immediately and nothing needs merging.
Public pins require no authentication and we never ask for a Pinterest login.
Works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac, with nothing to install.

Pinterest has never provided a save option for video, on any platform. Images can at least be right-clicked in a browser, even if that gives you a downscaled copy. Video has nothing — no download button, no share-to-files, no long-press option. The only alternative to a tool like this is screen recording, which captures at your screen resolution, includes your own interface, and re-encodes the video a second time.
The distinction between video pins and idea pins is worth understanding, because they are genuinely different formats and people conflate them constantly. A video pin is a single clip stored as one MP4. An idea pin is a multi-page format closer to a story: it can hold several pages, each with its own image or video clip, plus its own text overlay. Pasting an idea pin here returns every page separately rather than only the cover, which is what tools that assume a single video will give you.
Pinterest stores video as ordinary MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, and importantly keeps the sound inside the same file. That is a real convenience compared with Reddit, where DASH splits audio into a separate stream and a naive download gives you a silent clip. Nothing needs merging here, so a Pinterest video plays with sound immediately.
One quirk that catches people out: Pinterest runs dozens of country domains — pinterest.co.uk, pinterest.de, pinterest.com.au and many more — and a pin shared from one country often carries that domain rather than pinterest.com. They all serve identical content, so any of them can be pasted. The pin.it short links produced by the mobile share sheet resolve too.
Two different Pinterest formats that are easy to confuse.
| Video pin | Idea pin | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | One clip | Multiple pages |
| Media per item | Single MP4 | Image or clip per page |
| Text overlays | Rarely | Common, baked into each page |
| What you get here | One MP4 | Every page separately |
| Audio | In the MP4 | Per page where present |
Pinterest has never offered one, on any platform. Images can be right-clicked in a browser, but video has no save option at all, which is why an external tool is the only route.
A video pin is one clip stored as a single MP4. An idea pin is a multi-page format where each page holds its own image or clip. Idea pins return every page here, not just the cover.
Yes. Pinterest stores video and audio together in one MP4, so nothing needs merging and the file plays with sound straight away.
Yes. Short pin.it links from the mobile share sheet are expanded to the full pin URL automatically.
Yes. Pinterest runs dozens of country domains that all serve the same pins, and every one is recognised here.
Screen recording captures at your screen resolution, includes your interface, and re-encodes the video again. A direct download gives you the file Pinterest stores, untouched.
No. Individual pins and idea pins are supported; bulk board downloading is deliberately out of scope.
No. Public pins require no authentication and we never request a login.
