How to Save Pinterest Videos from Public Pin Links
Learn how to try a public Pinterest video Pin link, check available download formats and handle Pins that are private, unavailable or unsupported.
To save a Pinterest video, start with the public Pin URL rather than a board or profile link. You can try it in the social video downloader, but extraction and formats depend on whether the Pin is accessible and supported.
Types of Video Content on Pinterest
Pinterest hosts several types of video content you might want to save:
- Video Pins: Standard video content shared on Pinterest boards
- Idea Pins: Multi-page video stories (formerly Story Pins)
- Promoted Pins: Video advertisements from brands
- Shopping Pins: Product demonstration videos
How to Download Pinterest Videos
Step 1: Copy the Pin URL
Find the Pinterest video you want to download. Click on the three-dot menu (···) on the pin and select "Copy link." You can also copy the URL directly from your browser.
Step 2: Check the Pin Link
Visit our video downloader and paste the Pinterest URL into the input field. Select Analyze link to check whether a video and downloadable formats can be found. Not every Pin is supported.
Step 3: Choose an Available Format
Choose your preferred quality and click download. The video will be saved to your device in MP4 format.
Why Save Pinterest Videos?
People download Pinterest videos for many reasons:
- DIY projects: Save step-by-step tutorial videos for later reference

- Design inspiration: Archive creative ideas for your next project
- Educational content: Save learning materials for offline study
- Travel planning: Keep destination guide videos handy
Best Practices for Pinterest Downloads
To get the best results:
- Use the direct pin URL — not a board or profile link
- Ensure the pin is publicly available — secret boards cannot be accessed
- Choose HD quality when available for the best viewing experience
- Check that the video is still live — some pins get deleted over time
Pinterest Video Quality
The quality of your download depends on the original upload:
- HD (720p+): Most modern Pinterest videos are uploaded in high definition
- SD (480p): Older pins may only be available in standard definition
- Audio: Some Idea Pins have background music or voiceover included
