What Can You Download?

PinsDownload supports public Pinterest content that the downloader can access from its link.

  • Pinterest Videos Save public Pinterest video Pins as downloadable files.
  • Images & Photos Save images from public Pins to your device.
  • GIFs Download supported animated Pinterest GIF content.
  • Stories & Idea Pins Save supported multi-page Pinterest content.

Important: Private, deleted, invitation-only, or login-required content cannot be downloaded. Only save content you have permission to use.

Why the Process Is So Simple

PinsDownload is built around the public Pin URL. Instead of asking you to install software or create an account, it uses the link you provide to locate supported media and prepare it for download.

This makes the tool useful when you want to save a Pinterest video or image quickly from a browser without adding another app to your device.

Common Problems and Quick Fixes

Why is my Pinterest link not working?

Make sure the Pin is public and still available. Copy the link again directly from Pinterest and paste the new URL into PinsDownload.

Can I download a private Pinterest Pin?

No. PinsDownload works with public content and cannot access private or login-only Pins.

Do I need a Pinterest account?

You do not need to give PinsDownload your Pinterest username or password. The downloader uses the public link you provide.

Where does my downloaded file go?

On a computer it normally appears in your browser’s Downloads folder. On a phone, the location depends on your browser and device settings.

Will PinsDownload work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The tool runs in a web browser, so you can use it on supported iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux devices.

Pinterest content is created and posted by its owners. Downloading a file does not automatically give you permission to repost, sell, or use that content commercially.

Use PinsDownload for content you own, have permission to use, or are otherwise allowed to save. Respect copyright and the rights of the original creator.
