Download on iPhone

Open Safari or Chrome, paste the pin link into pinloot, and tap Download. iPhone saves videos to the Files app, not Photos, by default.

To move a video into your Camera Roll, open Files, find the download, tap Share, then choose Save Video. Images and GIFs saved through the browser usually land in Photos directly.

Download on Android

Paste the link and tap Download the same way. Most Android browsers save straight to the Downloads folder, and files saved there usually show up in your Gallery app automatically.

If a video doesn't appear in your gallery, open your Files app, go to Downloads, and open it from there — some gallery apps only scan specific folders.

Download on Windows and Mac

On desktop, the file saves to your browser's default Downloads folder, same as any other download. Right-click pinloot's download button and choose "Save link as…" to pick a different location.

Using pin.it short links

pin.it links — the short links Pinterest's own share button generates — work exactly like a full pinterest.com/pin/… link. Paste either one; pinloot follows the redirect and resolves the actual pin automatically.

Troubleshooting

Private or secret board: only public pins can be resolved. If a board is private or secret, there's nothing to fetch from it without viewing it directly inside Pinterest as a collaborator.

Pin was deleted: if the creator removed the pin, the link no longer points to anything on Pinterest's side, so there's nothing left to download.

No audio on a video: a small number of Pinterest videos store video and audio as separate files. If combining them fails, pinloot falls back to the silent video rather than failing the download entirely.

Wrong link type: make sure you copied a single pin's link (pinterest.com/pin/… or pin.it/…), not a board, profile, or search-results link — those aren't single pins and won't resolve.

Frequently asked questions about downloading Pinterest videos

Is it legal to download from Pinterest?

Saving pins for personal, offline viewing is generally fine. Reposting or using someone else’s work commercially needs the creator’s permission.

Do I need a Pinterest account?

No. Public pins download without logging in to Pinterest or pinloot.

What quality will I get?

The highest quality Pinterest stores for that pin. Videos are usually available up to 1080p; images in their original upload size.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, in any modern mobile browser. On iPhone, downloaded videos go to the Files app; tap Share → Save Video to move them to Photos.

Can I download from private or secret boards?

No. Only public pins can be detected. Private and secret board content isn’t accessible.

Why isn’t my link working?

Make sure it’s a single pin link (pinterest.com/pin/… or pin.it/…). If the pin was deleted or made private, there’s nothing to fetch.

What happens if the pin was deleted?

If the original pin is gone, there's nothing left for pinloot — or anyone else — to fetch from Pinterest's side.

Why does my downloaded video have no sound?

A small number of Pinterest videos store audio as a file separate from the video. If combining them fails, pinloot automatically falls back to the silent video instead of failing the download.

Can I use a pin.it short link?

Yes. pin.it links work exactly like a full pinterest.com/pin/… link — paste either one.

Is there a limit on how many pins I can download?

No account or login limit. Very rapid, repeated requests may be temporarily slowed by Pinterest's own rate limiting, independent of pinloot.

Does pinloot add a watermark or compress the file?

No. What you download is the exact file Pinterest stores — nothing added, nothing re-encoded.

Is it legal?

pinloot is an independent tool and isn’t affiliated with Pinterest. We don’t host any files; downloads come directly from Pinterest’s public servers. Content on Pinterest belongs to its creators. Download for personal use, and ask permission before reposting or using it commercially.
