Pinterest compresses the image you see when you're scrolling. Paste the Pin link here and PinDown fetches the original, full-size file straight from Pinterest's servers.
When you long-press or right-click a Pin inside Pinterest, you're usually saving the preview image the app displays in your feed — a smaller, compressed copy meant to load fast on a slow connection. The original file, at full resolution, is stored separately on Pinterest's CDN and isn't what shows up when you save directly from the app or browser. PinDown's Pinterest image downloader goes straight to that original file instead of the on-screen preview.
Paste a Pin link and PinDown reads the public Pinterest page the same way your browser does, then locates the largest image file Pinterest has stored for that Pin — usually several times larger than what's rendered in your feed. That file streams directly from pinimg.com to your device. PinDown doesn't resize, sharpen, or re-compress it, so what you download is exactly what the original uploader posted.
Pull reference images at print-usable resolution instead of a soft, scaled-down preview.
Save a legible, full-size infographic or recipe card instead of a fuzzy thumbnail.
Grab your own uploaded Pins back at full quality without digging through export tools.
Keep a clean, readable copy of diagrams or reference photos for offline use.
PinDown supports standard image Pins in JPG and PNG, as well as individual image pages within multi-page Idea Pins — paste the link to the specific Idea Pin page you want and it resolves the same way as a regular Pin. Board thumbnail images aren't supported directly here; for saving several images from one board at once, use the board downloader instead.
Open the image Pin in the Pinterest app, tap the share icon, and choose "Copy Link." On desktop, copy the URL from your browser's address bar while viewing the Pin. Either link works with the box above.
