We do not ask for your Pinterest password or account.Saving videos on your specific device
On iPhone, open the Pinterest app, tap the share icon on a video pin, choose Copy Link, then paste it into PintDown in Safari or Chrome — the MP4 downloads and saves to your Files app or camera roll. On Android the same steps work in Chrome, and you can pick where the file is stored. On a Windows or Mac computer, paste the link into any desktop browser and the video saves to your Downloads folder. No step differs between devices except where the finished file lands.
Troubleshooting common download issues
If a link fails, first make sure you copied the full pin URL and not a shortened share text. Videos that will not download are usually private, deleted, or from an account that blocks external fetching. Waiting a few minutes and retrying often works when Pinterest is temporarily rate-limiting requests. If the saved file looks low quality, it means the original upload was already compressed on Pinterest, since PintDown always pulls the best version available.
What to do with your saved videos
Once a video is on your device you can watch it offline on a plane or subway, clip a favorite moment into a shorter edit, or drop it into a presentation without needing the Pinterest app open. Because the file is a standard MP4, it opens in any player and uploads to editing tools without conversion. Just remember that reusing someone else's video publicly still means respecting their copyright, so keep personal-use saves personal unless you have permission.
