# How to Download Pinterest Videos to Phone or PC > Copy the pin link, paste it into a Pinterest video downloader and save the MP4 with sound. Steps for iPhone, Android, PC and Telegram, plus what fails. - URL: https://storiesfly.com/blog/how-to-download-pinterest-videos - Published: 2026-10-26 - Topic: Downloading - Publisher: StoriesFly (https://storiesfly.com) ## How do you download a video from Pinterest? Most Pinterest videos have no download button, so you need the pin's link. Copy it with the Share button, paste it into the [Pinterest video downloader](/pinterest-video-downloader) and press the button: you get the pin's MP4 with sound, in the quality Pinterest stores it in (usually up to 720p). No account, no sign-up, nothing is added to the video. Only public pins work; a pin from a secret board or one that was deleted can't be saved by anyone except its owner. ## How to copy the link to a pin The link is the one thing that has to be right. It must point to a single pin, not to a board or a profile. - **In the app (iPhone or Android):** open the pin full screen, tap the Share icon and choose Copy link. You get a short link like `pin.it/AbC123`. That works as is. - **In a browser:** open the pin and copy the address bar. It looks like `pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/`. Country domains (`pinterest.co.uk`, `ru.pinterest.com`, `pinterest.de` and so on) work the same. If what you copied looks like `pinterest.com/username/board-name/`, that's a board. Open the video itself and copy again. ## How to download a Pinterest video on iPhone 1. In the Pinterest app, open the video pin, tap Share and then Copy link. 2. Open Safari and go to the [Pinterest video downloader](/pinterest-video-downloader). 3. Paste the link and press the download button. 4. When the video appears, tap download. Safari asks to confirm; tap Download. 5. The file lands in the Files app, in the Downloads folder. To move it to Photos: open the file in Files, tap the Share icon and pick Save Video. After that it's in your camera roll like any other clip, and you can delete the copy in Downloads. If Safari opens the video in a player instead of downloading it, tap the Share icon in the player and choose Save Video, or long-press the download button and pick Download Linked File. ## How to download a Pinterest video on Android 1. In the Pinterest app, open the pin, tap Share and Copy link. 2. Open Chrome (or your usual browser), go to the downloader page, paste the link and tap the button. 3. Tap download on the result. Chrome shows a notification when the file is saved. The video goes to the Downloads folder in internal storage. Most gallery apps (Google Photos, Samsung Gallery) pick it up on their own, often in a separate Downloads album. If it doesn't show up, open the Files app, find the video in Downloads and open it from there. ## How to download a Pinterest video on a computer 1. Open the pin on pinterest.com and copy the address from the address bar. 2. Paste it on the [downloader page](/pinterest-video-downloader) and press the button. 3. Click download. The MP4 goes to your browser's downloads folder (on Windows usually `Downloads`, on a Mac the Downloads folder in the Dock). If the browser starts playing the video in a new tab instead of saving it, right-click the video and choose Save video as. ## Can I download Pinterest videos through Telegram? Yes, and on a phone this is often the quickest way. Send the pin link to [@instanavy_bot](https://t.me/instanavy_bot) and it replies with the video. To keep it, open the video, tap the three dots and choose Save to Gallery (on iPhone it's Save Video, which puts it into Photos). You can also forward it to any chat right away. Two things to know. Telegram doesn't let bots send files bigger than 50 MB; Pinterest clips are rarely that big, but if one is, the bot tells you and you can save it from the website instead. And if you paste dozens of links in a row (more than about 20 in ten minutes), the bot asks you to wait a few minutes. | Where | What you do | Where the file ends up | |---|---|---| | iPhone, Safari | Paste link on the site, tap download | Files → Downloads, then Save Video to Photos | | Android, Chrome | Paste link on the site, tap download | Downloads folder, usually visible in the gallery | | Computer | Paste link on the site, click download | Browser downloads folder | | Telegram bot | Send the link to the bot | In the chat; Save to Gallery from there | ## What quality will the video be? The same as what Pinterest has, up to 720p. A typical vertical clip comes out as 720×1280. If Pinterest keeps a pin at 720p, no tool can get 1080p out of it: the extra detail simply isn't in the file. The video keeps its sound, and nothing is added on top: no watermark, no logo. If the author burned their own text or logo into the clip, it stays, because it's part of the picture. ## Does it work for idea pins and photo pins? Yes. An idea pin with several video pages gives you each video separately. A photo pin gives the image in its original size, which is usually bigger than what you see on the screen. For photos Pinterest also has its own option: the three-dot menu on a pin has Download image. For videos there is usually no such item, which is why people need the link. ## Why won't a Pinterest video download? - **It's a board or profile link.** The tool needs one pin. Open the video itself and copy its link. - **The pin is on a secret board or the account is private.** Only the owner and invited people can see it, and the tool opens the pin as a logged-out visitor would. There is no way around this. - **The pin was deleted.** If it shows "pin not found" in Pinterest itself, the file is gone. - **It's not actually a video.** Some pins look animated but are GIFs or link to a video on another site (a YouTube clip pinned from YouTube, for example). For a YouTube clip use the [YouTube Shorts downloader](/youtube-shorts-downloader) with the original link. - **The short link is broken.** A `pin.it` link sometimes gets cut when copied from a message. Open it in the browser first; if it opens the pin, copy the full address from there. - **The video saved but has no sound.** Check that the clip has sound on Pinterest. Some pins are uploaded silent. ## Is it legal to download Pinterest videos? Saving a clip to watch later or to keep as a reference for yourself is what most people do and is generally fine. Reposting someone's video as your own is not: ask the author first and credit them. Pinterest pins are often re-pinned from elsewhere, so the real author may be on another platform. ## FAQ ### Can I download a Pinterest video without the app? Yes. Open the pin in any browser, copy the address from the address bar and paste it into the Pinterest video downloader on StoriesFly. You don't need the Pinterest app or a Pinterest account. ### Is there a watermark on downloaded Pinterest videos? No. The video is saved as it is stored on Pinterest, with sound, and nothing is added. Text or logos that the author put into the video itself stay, since they are part of the picture. ### Why is my Pinterest video only 720p? Because that is the version Pinterest keeps. You get the pin at up to 720p, often 720×1280 for vertical clips. A downloader can't add detail that isn't in the file. ### Can I download a whole Pinterest board? No. The tool works with one pin at a time. Open each video pin and copy its link separately. ### Can I download videos from a secret board? No. Secret boards and private accounts are visible only to the owner and people they invited. The tool sees pins the same way a logged-out visitor does, so those pins stay closed. ### How do I save a Pinterest video from Telegram to my gallery? Send the pin link to @instanavy_bot, open the video it sends back, tap the three dots and choose Save to Gallery (Save Video on iPhone). Videos over 50 MB can't be sent by a bot; save those from the website.
