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.

Which app opens it on Windows?

The Microsoft Photos app (JPEG and PNG supported).

Keep it with your photos and media

File Explorer's Quick access pins Downloads, Pictures, Videos and Music on Windows 11 22H2 and later, so dragging the file between them takes one step.

Good to know on Windows

Microsoft's own pages disagree on MP4 in Windows Media Player: the troubleshooting page lists MPEG-4 (H.264) as supported, an older file-types page does not. If one player refuses the file, open it in the Photos app.

If the download does not show up on Windows

  • Check Downloads in File Explorer first: Open File Explorer › Downloads (pinned in Quick access on Windows 11 22H2 and later), or use the downloads button in Edge.
  • 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.

What is the best quality I can get?

The original upload size (often larger than the 736 px preview). The tool never upscales or renames a smaller file as HD.

Do I need an app or a Pinterest account?

No. It runs in the browser (Edge or Chrome), with no sign-up and no app to install.

Is PinDownload part of Pinterest?

No. PinDownload is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Pinterest. It only reads public pins.

Can I download private pins?

No. Only public pins can be read without logging in; private pins and secret boards are out of reach by design.

Is the picture the full original size?

Yes. The tool asks for the original file, not the 736-pixel preview, and shows its real pixel size and file size before you save it.

Why is my image a PNG or WebP?

The format stays the one the uploader used. Nothing is converted, so there is no extra quality loss.
