Pinterest Video Downloader: How to Save Videos from Pinterest

Last Updated: March 2026

Pinterest isn't just for static images anymore. Video pins have become one of the fastest-growing content types on the platform, and whether you're saving recipe tutorials, DIY walkthroughs, or design inspiration clips, you'll eventually want to download a Pinterest video for offline use.

In this guide, we'll cover every method for downloading Pinterest videos — from quick online tools to browser extensions and mobile approaches. We'll also compare the most popular tools so you can pick the right one for your workflow.

Why Download Pinterest Videos?

There are several practical reasons you might want to save Pinterest videos to your device:

• Offline access — Watch tutorials, recipes, or inspiration videos without an internet connection.
• Presentations — Include video references in client presentations or mood boards alongside downloaded Pinterest images.
• Content research — Study video styles, transitions, and formats for your own content creation.
• Archival — Back up important content before pins get deleted or accounts go offline.

Method 1: Online Pinterest Video Downloaders (Easiest)

The simplest way to download a Pinterest video is to use a free online tool. No installation required — just paste the URL and download.

How It Works

1. Open the Pinterest video pin in your browser.
2. Copy the URL from the address bar (or tap Share → Copy link on mobile).
3. Visit a Pinterest video downloader website.
4. Paste the URL and click Download.
5. Choose your preferred quality (720p or 1080p) and save the MP4 file.

Popular Online Tools

Pros: No installation, works on any device, quick for single videos.

Cons: One video at a time, some tools have intrusive ads, quality varies.

Method 2: Desktop Apps for Bulk Video Downloads

If you regularly need to download Pinterest videos, desktop applications like SnapDownloader or 4K Video Downloader offer batch processing and higher quality options.

1. Download and install the application.
2. Copy the Pinterest video URL.
3. Paste the URL into the app.
4. Select quality (up to 4K if available) and output format.
5. Click download. The app handles the rest.

Pros: Batch downloads, highest quality, no ads, reliable.

Cons: Paid software, requires installation, desktop only.

Method 3: Download Pinterest Videos on Mobile

Using Pinterest's Built-in Download

Pinterest occasionally allows video downloads directly within the app:

1. Open the Pinterest app and find the video pin.
2. Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top right.
3. If available, tap "Download image" (this sometimes works for video pins too).

Note: This method doesn't always work for video pins, as Pinterest limits direct video downloads for some content.

Using a Mobile Browser

1. Open the Pinterest video in your mobile browser (not the app).
2. Copy the URL.
3. Visit an online Pinterest video downloader (like PintoDown).
4. Paste the URL and download the video file.

Method 4: Browser Extensions

Some browser extensions support Pinterest video downloads alongside images. This is convenient if you're already using an extension like Pinpasta for downloading Pinterest boards.

Currently, most Pinterest downloader Chrome extensions — including Pinpasta, Pin Toolbox, and Unpinned — focus primarily on image downloads rather than video content. For video-specific needs, dedicated video downloader extensions like "Video DownloadHelper" or "SaveFrom.net" may be more suitable.

Image Downloads vs Video Downloads: What Pinpasta Does Best

While this guide covers video downloads, it's worth noting that the majority of Pinterest content is still images. If your primary need is downloading Pinterest images and boards — especially for design workflows — Pinpasta is purpose-built for that:

• Bulk image downloads — Extract entire boards with 1,000+ pins as a ZIP file.
• Direct Figma integration — Send Pinterest images straight to your Figma workspace.
• Free tier — 30 images per batch, no ads, no watermarks.
• One-time pricing — $39 for a lifetime Pro license (no subscription).

Tips for Downloading Pinterest Videos

• Check the URL format — Make sure you're copying the full Pinterest URL (it should start with pinterest.com/pin/).
• Try multiple tools — If one downloader doesn't work for a specific video, try another. Pinterest occasionally changes their embed format.
• Right-click won't work — Pinterest videos use an embedded player, so the standard right-click "Save video as" option won't appear.
• Respect copyright — Downloaded videos are for personal use. Always credit creators and don't redistribute without permission.
• Watch for quality drops — Free online tools sometimes limit quality to 480p. Check the output before deleting the source.
