How to Download Pinterest Videos on iPhone, Android and PC

3 min read · Published October 24, 2026

Pinterest’s Save button adds a pin to one of your boards, but it doesn’t put the video on your device. Here’s how to keep the actual MP4, for a recipe, a workout or a craft tutorial you want to watch offline.

1. Copy the pin link

• In the Pinterest app: open the pin, tap the share icon (or ⋯), then Copy link. You’ll usually get a short pin.it/… link.
• On a computer: click the pin to open it and copy the address bar, for example pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/.

2. Paste it into the downloader

Open the Pinterest video downloader, paste the link and tap Download.

3. Save the video

Tap the quality button and the MP4 starts downloading. If the pin is a picture rather than a video, the full-size image is offered instead.

Where to find the file

• Android: Files › Downloads, or the Download album in your Gallery.
• iPhone: Files › Downloads. Open the video, tap share › Save Video to move it into Photos.
• PC or Mac: your Downloads folder.

Tips

• Boards: there’s no one-click board download. Open each pin and paste its own link.
• Regional links such as pinterest.co.uk or pinterest.ca work the same way.
• Pins that link to YouTube or another site show that site’s video, not a Pinterest one, so they can’t be saved here.

It didn’t work?

Check that the pin is public and that you copied the full link. Our troubleshooting guide covers other common errors.

Credit the creator: many pins are someone’s own photo or video. Keep saves for personal use and ask before reposting.
