How to Use PinSave

PinSave checks public Pinterest Pin URLs and shows videos, images, or GIFs that Pinterest makes available. Learn how to copy the right URL, save files on your device, and understand why some Pins cannot be downloaded.

Basic Steps for Public Pinterest Pins

  1. 1. Open the exact Pin you want to save

    Open Pinterest in your browser or app and go to the single video, image, or GIF Pin. PinSave works best with one public Pin URL, not a board, profile, search result, or home feed.

  2. 2. Copy the final Pinterest Pin URL

    Tap Share on the Pin, then Copy Link. On desktop, copy the browser address after the Pin page loads. A typical URL looks like https://www.pinterest.com/pin/123456789/.

  3. 3. Paste the URL into PinSave

    Open pinsaver.app and paste the public Pinterest Pin URL into the input box. Use Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac.

  4. 4. Click Download

    Choose Download or press Enter. PinSave checks the public link and shows video, image, or GIF files when Pinterest exposes a downloadable source.

  5. 5. Choose an available file and save

    Select one of the options shown. Video quality depends on the public source; image and GIF formats depend on files Pinterest serves. A separate HD or SD option is not guaranteed.

Correct Pinterest URLs and Links That Often Fail

Quick check: if the URL does not identify one public Pin, open the media on Pinterest first and copy the final Pin page URL.

  1. 1. Use a direct Pin URL

    The best link identifies one public Pin, for example https://www.pinterest.com/pin/123456789/.

  2. 2. Open short links before pasting

    Share links can redirect. Open the short URL in your browser, wait for the final Pin page, then copy the address from the browser bar.

  3. 3. Avoid board, profile, and search URLs

    Those pages can contain many Pins. Open the individual item so PinSave does not need to guess which media you mean.

  4. 4. Do not use private or login-only pages

    Private Pins, secret boards, deleted Pins, region-restricted pages, and login-only content cannot be accessed. If the Pin is not publicly viewable, it will not work here.

Downloading on iPhone

  1. 1. Use Safari or another browser

    Open pinsaver.app in Safari or Chrome and paste the Pinterest Pin URL.

  2. 2. Tap Download and wait for results

    Tap Download and wait for the available media options to appear.

  3. 3. Save the file

    If a regular tap previews the file, try a long-press or the Share Sheet and choose an available download/save action.

  4. 4. Move it to Photos if needed

    In Files, locate the download and use Save Video or Save Image when iOS offers that option. Browser behavior varies by iOS version.

Downloading on Android

  1. 1. Open a browser

    Use Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, or another Android browser and open pinsaver.app.

  2. 2. Paste the URL and tap Download

    Wait for PinSave to show media options for the public Pin.

  3. 3. Save the available file

    Tap the download action. The browser usually saves it to Downloads; check Files, My Files, or the browser's download folder.

Downloading on PC or Mac

  1. 1. Open PinSave in a browser

    Use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge and visit pinsaver.app.

  2. 2. Paste the Pinterest URL

    Paste the public Pin URL with Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac, then click Download.

  3. 3. Save the available file

    Use the download action next to an option. If the media opens in a tab, use the browser's save option where available.

If PinSave Cannot Find Downloadable Content

PinSave does not bypass private boards, passwords, login walls, deleted Pins, or creator restrictions.

  1. 1. Check that the Pin is public

    Private, login-restricted, or deleted pages cannot be accessed by PinSave.

  2. 2. Copy the final page URL again

    Open the exact Pin, wait for it to load, then copy its final browser address.

  3. 3. Try another public Pin

    Some public Pins expose a downloadable file and others only expose a preview.

  4. 4. Contact us with the public URL

    If a public Pin clearly contains media but fails, contact us with its URL so we can review whether Pinterest changed how that media is served.
