Paste the link to a Pinterest video Pin and PinDown hands you back the original MP4 file, at the highest quality Pinterest has stored — no watermark, no re-encoding, no app to install.
Pinterest is built around keeping people inside the app — Pins can be saved to a board, but the video file itself stays on Pinterest's servers with no built-in "save to device" button. That's fine if you just want to revisit a Pin later, but it doesn't help if the Pin gets deleted, the account goes private, or you want the clip for editing, a moodboard, or offline viewing. PinDown's Pinterest video downloader exists to close that gap for videos specifically, without asking you to install a browser extension or hand over any account access.
When you paste a Pinterest video link above, PinDown loads the public Pin page the same way your browser would and locates the video file Pinterest already embeds in that page. Pinterest usually stores several renditions of the same clip — PinDown picks the highest-resolution version available, up to 4K where Pinterest has it, and streams that file straight from Pinterest's own CDN (pinimg.com) to your device. Nothing is re-encoded, compressed, or watermarked in between, and nothing is cached on our end afterward.
Any public video Pin — recipes, tutorials, product demos — downloads as a clean MP4 file.
Multi-page Idea Pins with video segments are supported page by page.
Shortened Pinterest share links resolve to the same original video file.
Links copied from the Pinterest iOS or Android app work the same as desktop links.
On the Pinterest app, open the video Pin, tap the share icon, and choose "Copy Link." On desktop, right-click the Pin and copy the page URL from your browser's address bar, or use Pinterest's own share button. Either link format works with the box above — paste it in, hit Download, and the MP4 is ready in a few seconds.
The resolution you get back depends entirely on what Pinterest itself stored when the video was uploaded — PinDown can't add detail that isn't in the source file, but it also never throws detail away. If a creator uploaded a 4K clip, you'll get 4K back; if the original was lower resolution, that's the ceiling. This is different from many downloader tools that re-encode video during download, which quietly reduces quality even when the source was high-res.
MP4 — Pinterest's standard video format, playable on any phone, tablet, or computer without conversion.
No. PinDown streams the exact file Pinterest hosts — it doesn't add any overlay or branding.
Only if you're signed into the Pinterest account that owns it and can view the private board directly — PinDown only reads publicly accessible pages.
This page is tuned for video Pins. For photos use the image downloader, and for looping clips use the GIF downloader — or paste any link on the homepage and PinDown will detect the type automatically.
