The Quickest Method (Any Device)

Regardless of whether you're on iPhone, Android, or a desktop browser, the core steps are the same:

Step 1

Copy the Pinterest pin URL

Open the Pinterest pin containing the video. On mobile, tap Share then Copy Link. On desktop, copy the URL from your browser's address bar. It will look like: https://pinterest.com/pin/123456789/

Step 2

Open PinSave and paste the URL

Go to pinsave.cc/en/ in any browser. Paste the copied URL into the input box at the top of the page.

Step 3

Click Download

Click or tap the red Download button. PinSave will fetch the video from Pinterest's servers — this typically takes 1–3 seconds.

Step 4

Choose quality and save

PinSave displays all available quality options: typically HD (720p or 1080p), SD (480p), and sometimes an audio-only option. Click the ↓ Download button next to your preferred quality.

Tip: PinSave auto-detects the content type. You don't need to be on a specific page — just paste any Pinterest URL and it will identify whether it's a video, image, or GIF automatically.

Try it now — paste any Pinterest video URL below:

How to Download Pinterest Videos on iPhone

Downloading to an iPhone requires one extra step compared to Android or desktop, because iOS handles file downloads differently. Here's the exact process:

Step 1

Open PinSave in Safari

Open Safari (recommended for iPhone — it gives the cleanest download experience). Go to pinsave.cc/en/.

Step 2

Paste the Pinterest URL and tap Download

Paste the Pinterest video URL into the box and tap Download. Wait for the quality options to appear.

Step 3

Long-press the Download button

Long-press (tap and hold for 1 second) the ↓ Download HD button. A popup menu will appear. Tap "Download Linked File".

Step 4

Find your file in the Files app

Open the Files app on your iPhone. The downloaded video will be in Downloads under "On My iPhone" or iCloud Drive.

Step 5 (optional)

Save to Photos

Long-press the video file in Files, tap Share, then tap "Save Video" to add it to your iPhone Photos/camera roll.

Using Chrome on iPhone? Chrome on iOS downloads files differently — tap the download button normally and the video will open in a new tab. Tap the share icon and choose "Save to Files" or "Save Video."

How to Download Pinterest Videos on Android

Android makes downloading much simpler — files go straight to your Downloads folder.

Step 1

Open Chrome (or any browser)

Navigate to pinsave.cc/en/ in Chrome, Firefox, or Samsung Internet.

Step 2

Paste the URL and tap Download

Paste the Pinterest video URL and tap Download. Wait for quality options to load.

Step 3

Tap the quality download button

Tap ↓ Download HD (or your preferred quality). Android will automatically download the MP4 file to your Downloads folder — you may see a notification at the top of the screen when it completes.

Find your download: Open the Files app (or "My Files" on Samsung), tap Downloads, and you'll find the video there. You can move it to your Gallery by tapping and holding the file, then selecting "Move to."

How to Download Pinterest Videos on PC or Mac

Desktop downloading is the easiest of all — your browser handles everything automatically.

  1. Open pinsave.cc/en/ in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
  2. Paste the Pinterest video URL into the input box and click Download.
  3. When the quality options appear, click ↓ Download HD.
  4. Your browser will save the MP4 file to your default Downloads folder.

If the video opens in your browser instead of downloading, right-click the ↓ Download HD button and choose "Save link as…" to force a download prompt.

Video Quality Options Explained

PinSave shows you all quality options that Pinterest makes available for each specific pin. Here's what each means:

  • 1080p HD — Best quality. Full HD. File size approximately 15–50 MB for a typical 30-second clip.
  • 720p HD — High quality. Very good for most uses. File size approximately 5–15 MB.
  • 480p SD — Standard quality. Good for sharing via messaging apps. File size approximately 2–5 MB.
  • 360p SD — Lower quality. Smallest file size. Good for slow connections.
  • Audio only (MP3) — Extracts just the audio track from a video pin.
Note: Not every Pinterest video has all quality options. The available qualities depend on what the original uploader provided. If only SD is available, it means the creator did not upload an HD version — PinSave never reduces quality.

Is It Legal to Download Pinterest Videos?

PinSave is a technical tool that extracts download links from publicly available Pinterest content. Whether downloading is legal depends on your intended use:

  • Personal offline viewing of content you would otherwise watch on Pinterest: generally acceptable in most jurisdictions.
  • Sharing, republishing, or commercial use without the creator's permission: a copyright violation in most countries.

Always respect content creators' rights. If you want to use someone's Pinterest video, the best approach is to contact the creator and ask for permission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pinterest removed the download button for videos to protect content creators from having their work redistributed without credit. The download option was available for personal pins (content you uploaded yourself) but was removed for pins from other creators.
On desktop, you can sometimes inspect the page source and find the direct video URL — but this requires technical knowledge and doesn't always work. PinSave automates this process in a simple, user-friendly way.
PinSave works with standard Pinterest video pins. It has limited support for Idea Pins (multi-slide pins) and may not work with videos embedded from other platforms (like YouTube). For videos that don't work, try copying a direct pin URL (pinterest.com/pin/...) rather than a board or profile URL.
After downloading with PinSave, the video is saved to your Files app. Open Files, find the video in Downloads, long-press it, tap Share, then tap "Save Video" to move it to your Photos camera roll.
Yes, PinSave is completely free with no limits, no sign-up, and no premium plans. You can download as many Pinterest videos as you want at no cost.
