How to Save Pinterest Videos and Images (Pin in Full Quality)
Pinterest is a visual search engine, yet it won't give you the raw file when you want to keep a pin. The pin's original image or video can be saved in seconds: paste the pin link, preview, download. pin.it short links are equally welcome.
How to do it, step by step
- 1
Open the pin you want to keep
Open the pin so its detail page shows. Every public pin works; secret boards and login-walled content are out of scope for everyone.
- 2
Copy the pin link
Use the share button → copy link, or copy the URL on desktop. Short pin.it links resolve exactly like full pinterest.com/pin/… links.
- 3
Save the image or the video
The preview shows what the pin actually is. Image pins save the highest resolution the source exposes; video pins return the video file, and you can grab the cover image from the result too.

Tips that save you time
- Quality varies by upload — the tool never upscales, it only offers what exists.
- Secret or private pins show as unavailable — that's Pinterest's wall, not the tool's.
- For a video pin, both the video and its poster image can be downloaded separately.
Frequently asked questions
Where the pin exposes a video file, it is offered as a download. All public pins resolve for preview.
