What you get: the original JPG, PNG or WebP
For a picture pin the tool fetches the original file Pinterest stores, not the 736-pixel preview the app shows. In our test a carousel picture listed as 736 pixels wide downloaded as an original of 1365×1706 pixels (194 KB). The format stays what the uploader used, usually JPG, sometimes PNG or WebP.

Good to know on Samsung Galaxy
Samsung's pages describe My Files and Gallery; they do not name the folder Samsung Internet uses, so check My Files › Downloads first.
If the download does not show up on Samsung Galaxy
- Check My Files › Downloads first: Open My Files › Downloads. If you used Chrome, More › Downloads in Chrome lists the file too.
- Make sure the pin is public. Private pins and secret boards cannot be read without logging in, and this tool never asks for your Pinterest password.
- Links expire after one hour. If a button stops working, paste the pin link again.
- A pin.it short link must be complete: copy it again from Share › Copy link.
