What you get: one MP4 per video page, plus images

Pinterest's short videos are idea pins (the app's Reels-style feed). Their JSON lists only a streaming playlist; the tool finds the matching 720p MP4 and checks that it exists. Carousel pins with several slides give one download per slide, video or picture, up to 20.

Which app opens it on Chromebook?

The Gallery app (double-click in Files).

Keep it with your photos and media

Because Downloads is temporary storage, move files you want to keep to Google Drive or another folder in the Files app.

Good to know on Chromebook

Move files you want to keep out of Downloads: ChromeOS may delete them there to free up space.

If the download does not show up on Chromebook

  • Check Files › Downloads first: Open the Files app and choose Downloads.
  • 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.
