How to Download Pinterest Videos and Images in 2026

Pinterest is a treasure trove of visual inspiration — from home decor ideas and recipes to travel photography and DIY tutorials. But Pinterest's mobile app doesn't offer a straightforward way to save videos or download high-resolution images directly to your device. Here's how to do it easily with DownloadEra.

Types of Pinterest Content You Can Download

• Pinterest videos (including Story Pins)
• Animated GIFs
• Static images and photographs
• Infographics and design pins
• Product images

How to Get a Pinterest Pin URL

On Mobile:

1. Open the Pinterest app and tap on the Pin you want to save.
2. Tap the Share (↑) icon.
3. Select 'Copy link'.

On Desktop:

1. Open Pinterest.com and click on the Pin.
2. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar (e.g., pinterest.com/pin/1234567890).

Step-by-Step: Download Pinterest Content with DownloadEra

1. Copy the Pinterest Pin URL (see instructions above).
2. Go to DownloadEra.com in your browser.
3. Paste the Pinterest URL into the download box.
4. Click the 'Download' button.
5. Choose your download option: video, GIF, or image.
6. Click to download and save the file to your device.

Downloading Pinterest Images on Desktop (Alternative Method)

On desktop browsers, you can also right-click a Pin image and select 'Open image in new tab'. The URL in the new tab often ends in .jpg or .png — you can right-click and 'Save image as' to get the full-size file. This method works for static images but not for videos or GIFs.

Common Use Cases

• Saving recipe inspiration images for a personal digital cookbook
• Downloading travel photography for offline reference during trips
• Collecting design references for mood boards and presentations
• Saving DIY tutorial videos to watch offline
• Archiving your own pins before deleting a board

Does Pinterest Have a Built-In Download Option?

Partly. Pinterest allows saving images to your camera roll on mobile, but only in a compressed version — not the original resolution. For videos, there is no native download button at all. DownloadEra fills both gaps.

Troubleshooting Pinterest Downloads

Error: 'Cannot fetch video'

This usually means the pin comes from a private board or the content has been removed. Ensure the board and profile are set to public.

Image downloaded in low resolution

Some Pinterest images are small because the original uploader posted a low-resolution version. No downloader can create resolution that doesn't exist in the original source file.
