Pinterest DownloaderSave any Pinterest pin — video, static image, GIF, or idea pin — at its original full resolution. No signup, no watermark, no app to install. Paste a link and the file is yours.
✓ Pre-configured for Pinterest
Works the same whether the pin is a photograph, a video recipe, an idea pin, or an animated GIF.
Open the pin on Pinterest. Tap the share arrow, or the three-dot menu, and choose Copy link. On desktop, you can also copy the URL straight from the browser address bar once the pin is open in its own page. Board URLs are not supported — MediaFetcher downloads one pin at a time.
Paste the Pinterest URL into the input field at the top of this page. The tool auto-detects that it is a Pinterest link and inspects whether the pin is a static image, a video, an idea pin, or a GIF. The Download button unlocks as soon as the URL is recognised.
Choose the quality and format you want. Video pins offer MP4 quality options, image pins offer the original resolution file, and idea pins give you each page as a separate file. The download lands directly on your device with no intermediate cloud storage.
Pinterest is mostly an image platform, not a video platform — so treating it as a video-only downloader misses the point. Here is every pin type MediaFetcher handles, with the resolution and aspect ratio Pinterest usually stores.
| Pin type | Typical resolution | Aspect ratio | Approx file size | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Static pin imageMost pins | 1000–2000 px wide | 2:3 vertical (most), plus square and landscape | ~200 KB – 1.5 MB | Mood boards, reference libraries, print inspiration |
| Video pin | 720p – 1080p MP4 | 9:16 vertical or 1:1 square | ~8 – 40 MB per minute | Recipe demos, DIY tutorials, short how-to clips |
| Idea pin (multi-step) | 1080 × 1920 per page | 9:16 vertical | ~5 – 25 MB per page | Multi-page tutorials, step-by-step guides, carousels |
| Animated GIF | 480 – 1080 px | Matches the source, often square | ~500 KB – 8 MB | Looping references, quick motion studies, reaction saves |
Pinterest compresses pins for in-feed display, but the underlying file it stores on its CDN is usually the full-resolution original the uploader provided. MediaFetcher fetches that underlying file, not the compressed in-app preview.
Most tools treat Pinterest like a short-video site: they flatten images into single-frame MP4s, silence GIFs and ignore idea pins. MediaFetcher treats Pinterest the way Pinterest is actually used.
Pinterest compresses feed pins aggressively. The full-res original is on the CDN — the app just never asks for it. We always do. Typically 2-3× sharper than a feed screenshot.
A static JPG comes back as JPG, not a single-frame MP4. PNGs keep their alpha. Animated GIFs stay animated. Videos arrive at original bitrate.
The multi-page carousel format Pinterest introduced as its Stories competitor — we fetch every page so the whole sequence is preserved, not just the cover.
Page under 80 KB of JS because there is nothing here trying to sell you a subscription or feed your browsing into an ad network.
“If you are used to fighting interstitials on every other downloader site, the quiet here takes a minute to get used to.
Pinterest is where people save things for reference rather than for consumption — and a downloader is what turns that reference library into something you can carry offline.
When a prospective client wants to discuss their living room refresh, the presentation deck cannot depend on whether the Pinterest app loads in the meeting room. Downloading the thirty or forty reference pins in advance — at full resolution — lets you drop them into Figma, Keynote, or a printed moodboard without blurry in-app screenshots.
Same for Instagram references →Food bloggers delete posts, change domains, and migrate platforms constantly. A Pinterest pin you saved in 2019 often points to a dead link by 2024. Downloading the recipe card image itself, while the original source is still live, is the only reliable way to keep a personal cookbook. Pair with the original source link for attribution.
Woodworkers, knitters, leatherworkers, and ceramicists all treat Pinterest as a shared visual notebook of techniques and jigs. Downloading the step-by-step images lets you bring the reference to a workshop without Wi-Fi, and rotate between pins on a tablet while your hands are dirty.
Reddit is another DIY archive →Stylists, merchandisers, and trend forecasters pull hundreds of pins per season to build palette and silhouette studies. Having the full-resolution originals — not the compressed feed previews — matters when you are comparing fabric textures or print repeats side by side in a single deck.
Vertical video pins mirror TikTok →Honest comparison of the three tools most people land on when they search "pinterest video downloader". Free-tier observations, not marketing copy.

Comparison reflects the free tier of each tool as observed in early 2026. Publer is a paid social media suite that includes a free Pinterest downloader as a lead magnet; its full feature set is behind a subscription.
Short answer: usually yes for personal use — but Pinterest is more ethically layered than a video site.
In the US, fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 generally permits personal, non-commercial copies for study, criticism, research and reference. Most of the Commonwealth has an analogous fair-dealing doctrine. Saving a pin to a private mood-board on your laptop falls well inside that zone.
Pinterest is a reshare-firstplatform. A stranger pinning a photographer's wedding shot is not the copyright holder — just the person who moved the image onto Pinterest's servers. Every pin has an original sourcelink below it for exactly this reason. Follow it before you use the image for anything beyond personal reference. Pinterest's own Creator Code formalises this attribution norm.
Private mood-board on your own machine, for inspiration.
Re-uploading to your commercial website or selling a print set.
Labelled references in a client pitch deck.
Bundling pins into a paid ebook without licence.
The Creative Commons family covers millions of images — CC0 public domain, CC BY attribution, CC BY-NC-SA non-commercial. Pinterest does not consistently surface licence info, so trace the pin back to the original source and check there.

Pinterest is the visual reference library, but the same clean downloader works for every other image and video platform you use.
