Pinterest image & video downloader.

Choose an image or video download

A Pinterest Pin is a page that can refer to an image, a video, or content on another website. The Pin link identifies that page; it is not the same as a direct link to a media file. pintload checks the public page for supported files and lists what it can find.

Use the Pinterest image downloader for a photo, illustration, wallpaper or other still image. Use the Pinterest video downloader when you want a playable MP4. The all-media tool above is useful when you are unsure which files the Pin contains.

A preview image can exist even when a downloadable video does not. If an MP4 is unavailable, saving the image will only give you the still picture, not the moving clip.

Which Pinterest links can you use?

Paste a link to one public Pin, such as an address beginning with https://www.pinterest.com/pin/, or a pin.it short link copied from Pinterest’s sharing menu. A link may include a descriptive title before the Pin number. You do not need to remove that title.

Board, profile and search-result links contain collections or lists, so they do not identify a single download. Open the exact Pin before copying its address. A private board invitation or a page that requires your account cannot be accessed simply by pasting the link.

If a short link fails, open it normally in your browser and copy the full Pin address. For other errors, follow the Pinterest download troubleshooting guide.

Saving a Pin to a board vs downloading a file

Saving a Pin to a Pinterest board keeps a reference in your Pinterest account. Downloading creates a file on your computer or phone. A local file can be opened without returning to the Pin, while a board save keeps the Pin’s Pinterest context and source link together.

For personal reference, it can be useful to keep the original Pin bookmarked alongside an authorized download. That preserves a route back to the creator and any license information. A downloaded picture by itself may not include a reliable attribution or permission statement.

When Pinterest provides its own download action, you can use that directly. See Pinterest’s image download instructions. Availability varies by Pin; pintload also cannot guarantee a file for every link.

Find your download on a phone or computer

On a desktop computer, use the browser’s Downloads list to locate the saved file. Your browser may ask where to store it or use a default folder. Opening a media preview in a tab does not always mean the file has been saved.

On iPhone or iPad, Safari downloads are typically found through Files or Safari’s Downloads list. Open a supported file and use the share menu to save it into Photos when that option appears. The iPhone saving guide walks through those separate steps.

On Android, check the browser’s Downloads screen or your file manager before checking Gallery. A file may have downloaded successfully even if a photo app has not displayed it yet. See the Android download guide for common folder and gallery issues.

Understand file quality and download limits

pintload preserves the supplied file instead of re-encoding it. Image sharpness depends on the available dimensions and source compression; video quality also depends on the source’s encoding. A larger display size is not evidence of a higher-resolution file.

The image quality guide explains previews and original-source images. For the difference between a complete video file and a streaming playlist, read Pinterest video formats.

This tool supports available images and direct MP4 files, with a 100 MB limit per downloaded file. It does not convert streaming playlists, remove existing creator marks, or export entire boards. Download availability can change when a Pin is edited, removed or no longer accessible.

Keep the source and respect permission

A download button does not grant a license to repost, sell or adapt the content. Before using a picture or video in a website, advertisement or client project, identify the original creator and check the license or obtain permission.

pintload is an independent utility and does not ask for your Pinterest password or account cookies. Read how links and requests are processed and the terms for responsible downloading if you want more detail.
