What you get: MP4 (H.264 video + AAC sound)

Pinterest keeps an MP4 copy of most video pins. Its largest MP4 is 720p: for idea pins the streaming playlist tops out at 720 pixels wide (720×1280 for a vertical clip), and classic video pins list a 720p file. The tool reads the file itself and shows the real resolution and size before you save, for example 720×1280 and 2.2 MB for a 9.5-second idea pin in our test.

QuickTime Player on Mac, Files on iPhone.

Keep it with your photos and media

Safari removes an older copy when you download the same item again, so rename a file you want to keep twice.

Good to know in Safari

Safari on Mac clears the downloads list after one day by default; the file itself stays in the folder.

If the download does not show up in Safari

  • Check Safari's download folder first: On Mac, click the downloads button near the top-right of the Safari window. Apple notes Safari clears items from this list after one day by default.
  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

Where do downloaded Pinterest videos go in Safari?

Safari on Mac saves to the folder chosen in Settings › General › File download location; Safari on iPhone saves to Downloads in iCloud Drive or on the iPhone, as set in Settings › Apps › Safari › Downloads.

How do I find a downloaded Pinterest file in Safari?

On Mac, click the downloads button near the top-right of the Safari window. Apple notes Safari clears items from this list after one day by default.

Which app opens MP4 (H.264 video + AAC sound) in Safari?

QuickTime Player on Mac, Files on iPhone.

Can I choose another download folder in Safari?

Mac: Safari › Settings › General › File download location. iPhone: Settings › Apps › Safari › Downloads.

What is the best quality I can get?

720p is the largest MP4 Pinterest stores (we show the exact size, e.g. 720×1280). 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 (Safari), 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.

Why is it 720p and not 1080p or 4K?

Because 720p is the largest MP4 Pinterest stores for video pins. Pages that promise 1080p or 4K from Pinterest cannot deliver a file that does not exist; this tool shows the exact pixel size instead.

Does the video keep its sound?

Yes, when the pin has a sound track: the MP4 carries AAC audio. If a pin has no sound track, the tool tells you before you save.
