Frequently Asked Questions

PinSave is a free online tool that lets you download Pinterest videos, images, and GIFs directly to your device. No login, no app install, and no watermarks — just paste a Pinterest URL and save.

1. Open the Pinterest pin you want to save and tap Share → Copy Link.
2. Go to pinsave.cc/en/ and paste the URL into the input box.
3. Click Download and wait a moment.
4. Click ↓ Download next to your preferred quality (HD, SD, or Audio). For a detailed guide, see How to Use PinSave.

No. PinSave requires zero registration. There is no sign-up form, no email required, and no Pinterest login needed. Just paste and download.

Yes, completely. PinSave has no premium plans, no subscription fees, and no download limits. It is free for everyone, forever.

PinSave supports:
• Videos — MP4 in HD (720p/1080p) and SD (480p/360p)
• Images — JPG and PNG in original resolution
• Animated GIFs — original .gif files with all frames intact
PinSave automatically detects the content type from the URL you paste.

Idea Pins are multi-slide pins and have a different technical structure. Support for Idea Pins is limited — PinSave may be able to extract the first slide image or video, but not all slides at once. Check our Idea Pin download guide for workarounds.

No. PinSave can only download publicly accessible Pinterest content. Private pins and secret boards require a Pinterest login and are not accessible to PinSave.

PinSave shows all quality options that Pinterest makes available for each pin. This typically includes 1080p HD, 720p HD, 480p SD, and 360p SD. Not all pins have all quality options — it depends on what was originally uploaded.

Yes. Open PinSave in Safari (recommended) or Chrome on your iPhone. After clicking the download button, long-press the quality download link and choose "Download Linked File" to save it to your Files app. You can then move it to Photos. See the full iPhone guide.

Yes. Open PinSave in Chrome or any browser on your Android phone. Tap the quality download button and the file will download automatically to your Downloads folder. See the full Android guide.

Yes. PinSave works in all major desktop browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — on both Windows and macOS. Downloaded files go to your default Downloads folder.

No. PinSave runs entirely in your web browser. No app, no browser extension, and no software download is required.

Yes. PinSave does not store your Pinterest URLs, does not save downloaded files on our servers, and does not collect personal information. Download links point directly to Pinterest's own CDN servers — PinSave acts only as a link extractor, not a file host.

No. PinSave downloads the original file directly from Pinterest with zero modification. There are no watermarks, no logos, and no overlays added to your downloads.

Downloaded content remains subject to the original creator's copyright. PinSave is a technical tool — the legality of downloading depends on your intended use. Downloading for personal, offline viewing of content you have rights to is generally acceptable. Redistributing, republishing, or using content commercially without the creator's permission is not. Always respect copyright and creators' rights.

This usually happens when: (1) the pin is from a private account or secret board, (2) the Pinterest URL is incomplete or malformed, (3) the content type is not yet supported (e.g., some Idea Pins), or (4) Pinterest has temporarily changed their page structure. Try copying the URL again directly from the Pinterest pin page.

On desktop, right-click the ↓ Download button and choose "Save link as…" to force a file save. On mobile, long-press the download button and select "Download Linked File" (iPhone) or "Download link" (Android).

Try these steps: (1) Make sure you copied the full Pinterest URL including https://. (2) Try a different browser. (3) Disable ad blockers temporarily (they can sometimes block API requests). (4) If the problem persists, contact us with the Pinterest URL so we can investigate.
