How to Download Pinterest Videos on Any Device, Free, Fast & No App Needed (2026)
Download any Pinterest video in seconds, on your phone or computer, for free.
Quick answer: Open the Pinterest app, tap the Share icon on any video, then tap Copy Link. Go to pinvideo.io, paste the link into the input box, and tap Download. Your video saves as an MP4 file, no app, no signup required.
Pinterest is one of the most inspiring platforms on the internet. Every day, millions of people scroll through cooking tutorials, home décor ideas, workout videos, DIY projects, and travel clips, and then watch them disappear when they close the app.
The problem is simple: Pinterest does not have a built-in download button for videos. You can save a pin to a board, but you cannot save the actual video file to your phone or computer.
That is exactly the problem PinVideo.io solves. In this guide, you will learn how to download any Pinterest video to your device in under two minutes, for free, with no app to install and no account to create.
Why People Download Pinterest Videos
You are not alone if you want to save a Pinterest video. Here are the most common reasons people do it every day:
Watch offline. Poor Wi-Fi on a plane, a commute, or a remote location? A saved video plays without any internet connection.
Save inspiration before it disappears. Pins get deleted or boards go private. Downloading a video means you keep it forever, no matter what the creator does.
Share it with friends. It is much easier to send an MP4 file over WhatsApp or iMessage than to paste a Pinterest link that the other person may not be able to open.
Use it in a project. Designers, teachers, and content creators often download reference videos for mood boards, presentations, and personal study.
Responsible use reminder: Download videos for personal use only. Do not re-upload or redistribute content without permission from the original creator. Always respect copyright and Pinterest's community guidelines.
What You Need Before You Start
You need three things, and you almost certainly already have all of them:
✅ A public Pinterest video pin. The pin must be public. Private pins cannot be accessed by any external tool. If you see a lock icon on the pin, it is private and cannot be downloaded.
✅ A web browser. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge all work. No special browser is required.
✅ A stable internet connection. A standard mobile data connection is fine for most videos.
How do I know what a Pinterest video URL looks like? It looks like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/123456789012345678/ or a short link like https://pin.it/AbCdEfG. Both formats work with PinVideo.io.
How to Copy a Pinterest Video Link
Before you can download anything, you need the video's URL. Pinterest makes this easy, but the steps are slightly different depending on whether you use the app or a browser.
📱 On the Pinterest App (iPhone or Android)
- Open the Pinterest app and find the video you want to download.
- Tap anywhere on the pin to open it in full view.
- Tap the Upload / Share arrow icon at the top-right corner of the pin. On newer versions of the app, this icon appears at the bottom-right.
- A menu slides up from the bottom of the screen. Tap Copy Link.
- The full URL is now copied to your clipboard.
Tap the Share icon (arrow), then tap "Copy Link" to grab the video URL.
🖥️ On a Desktop Browser (Pinterest.com)
- Go to pinterest.com and find the video pin.
- Click on the pin to open it.
- Copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar at the top of the page.
- Alternatively, click the Send button on the pin and choose Copy Link.
How to Download Using PinVideo.io, Step by Step
Now that you have copied the link, the rest takes about 30 seconds.
Go to PinVideo.io
Open a new browser tab and go to pinvideo.io. You will see a large white input box at the top of the page. No login page. No pop-ups. Just the tool.
Paste the Pinterest Video Link
Tap or click inside the input box and paste the URL you copied from Pinterest. Make sure the full link is there, a partial URL will not work. The link should start with https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ or https://pin.it/.
Tap the Download Button
Tap the red Download button. PinVideo.io fetches the video within a few seconds and shows you the available quality options.
Choose Quality and Save
Select HD if you want the best quality, or SD for a smaller file size. Tap the download button next to your chosen quality. The MP4 file saves directly to your device.
Paste the full Pinterest video URL and tap Download, the tool does the rest.
How to Download a Pinterest Video on iPhone (iOS)
Downloading on iPhone is slightly different from Android because of how iOS handles file downloads. Follow these steps for a smooth experience.
📱 iPhone Steps (Using Safari)
- Open the Pinterest app and copy the video link as described above.
- Open Safari (Safari works best on iPhone) and go to pinvideo.io.
- Paste the link and tap Download.
- When the quality options appear, tap the download button next to your preferred quality.
- Safari will show a small download indicator at the top-right corner of the screen (a downward arrow icon). Tap it to see the download progress.
- When the download is complete, the video saves to your Downloads folder inside the Files app.
- To move it to your Camera Roll, open the Files app → tap Downloads → long-press the video file → tap Save to Photos.
iPhone tip: If tapping the download button opens the video in the browser instead of saving it, press and hold (long press) the Download button and choose "Download Linked File" from the menu.
How to Download a Pinterest Video on Android
🤖 Android Steps (Using Chrome)
- Copy the Pinterest video link from the Pinterest app.

How to Download a Pinterest Video on PC or Mac
🖥️ Desktop Steps (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari)
- Go to pinterest.com, find the video, and copy its URL from the address bar.
- Open a new tab and go to pinvideo.io.
- Click inside the input box and paste the URL. Click Download.

- Your browser's download bar appears at the bottom of the screen (Chrome) or top-right (Safari/Edge). The MP4 file saves to your Downloads folder.
Choosing the Right Video Quality
When PinVideo.io fetches your video, it gives you quality options. Here is how to choose the right one:
HD (720p or 1080p) — Pick this if you want the sharpest image and you are on Wi-Fi or a fast data connection. File sizes range from 5 MB to 50 MB depending on the video length.
SD (360p or 480p) — Pick this if you are on a slow connection or you want to save storage space on your device. The quality is noticeably lower, but the video plays smoothly.
The quality options you see depend entirely on the original video quality uploaded by the creator. If a video was originally recorded in SD, no tool, including PinVideo.io, can make it HD.
