Pinterest Video Downloader

Downloading Videos and Images from Pinterest

Pinterest is one of the world's most popular visual discovery engines for home decor, fashion, cooking recipes, DIY projects, and creative art. While Pinterest makes it easy to save pins to virtual boards inside the platform, users often want to download Pinterest videos and photos directly to their phone or computer for offline viewing and creative reference.

The native Pinterest mobile app allows users to save static image pins, but it does not provide an option to download Video Pins. Furthermore, native image saves inside the app often output a downsampled 736px thumbnail preview to reduce data usage. GetinDevice solves both problems by fetching the direct 1080p MP4 video stream and the master uncompressed image file directly from Pinterest servers.

Why Choose GetinDevice Over Other Download Methods?

When looking to save Pinterest media, users often try manual workarounds like mobile screen recording, taking screenshots, or installing third-party browser extensions. Here is why GetinDevice is the superior option:

• Original High-Resolution Image Extraction: While native app saves downsample photos to a compressed 736px web preview, GetinDevice connects to Pinterest's master storage folder, giving you the uncompressed full-size image file.
• Clean 1080p MP4 Video Files: Screen recording captures phone battery bars, playback controls, and low frame rates. GetinDevice extracts the untouched 1080p source video directly from Pinterest servers.
• Instant pin.it Mobile Shortlink Parsing: Links shared from the mobile app look like pin.it/abc1234. Unlike other downloader sites that throw 404 errors on shortlinks, GetinDevice expands mobile links automatically in under 50 milliseconds.
• Zero Extension or App Installation Risks: Browser extensions and executable desktop software can request invasive permissions or inject popups. GetinDevice runs 100% inside your standard web browser with complete privacy.
• No Registration or Daily Limits: Enjoy unlimited free downloads without creating an account or providing personal details.

How Pinterest Media Storage Works

Pinterest hosts media assets across specialized Content Delivery Network (CDN) servers. Video streams are delivered via v1.pinimg.com, while static images and design assets are hosted on i.pinimg.com.

When a creator uploads a video pin, Pinterest processes it into a standard 1080p Full HD MP4 file. When an image is uploaded, Pinterest stores the original full-resolution upload in its master directory while generating smaller preview tiers (236x, 474x, 736x) for fast feed scrolling.

GetinDevice inspects the pin page DOM structure to extract the direct MP4 video link and rewrites image path tokens to deliver the master original image file, giving you the best possible media quality.

Use Cases for Pinterest Video and Image Downloads

Pinterest is used by millions of creative professionals, hobbyists, and students. Here are common practical ways people use downloaded Pinterest media:

• For Interior Designers & Architects: Save high-resolution photography of room layouts, lighting concepts, and architectural details to assemble client mood boards in Notion, Figma, or Canva.
• For Home Cooks & Recipe Lovers: Download cooking demonstration videos and step-by-step recipe infographics to view offline on your phone or tablet while preparing meals in the kitchen.
• For DIY Crafters & Home Improvement Makers: Keep woodworking, sewing, paper craft, and home renovation video guides stored locally so you can follow along in the workshop without needing Wi-Fi.

• For Students & Visual Educators: Save educational diagrams, study guides, and historical infographics for presentations, assignments, and study materials.
• For Content Creators & Video Editors: Study viral video editing trends, lighting setups, and camera angles when cross-posting visual content between Pinterest, Instagram Reels, and TikTok Videos.

Downloading Individual Slides from Idea Pins and Carousels

Idea Pins and Carousel Pins are widely used for step-by-step DIY guides, recipe cards, and multi-outfit fashion ideas. Trying to save these multi-card posts by taking manual screenshots often results in UI icons, battery bars, and text overlays blocking the image.

GetinDevice parses the underlying JSON card structure of Idea Pins and Carousels. This allows you to inspect and download each individual video clip or image slide in its original crisp resolution without visual clutter.

Saving Pinterest Content on Mobile and Desktop

iPhone & iPad (Safari)

1. Open the Pinterest app on iOS, tap Share on any pin, and select Copy Link.
2. Open Safari, visit getindevice.com, paste the link into the search field, and tap Download.
3. Tap Download MP4 or Save Image. Confirm the Safari download prompt.

Save Downloaded Videos to iPhone Camera Roll

When downloading videos using Safari on iOS, Safari saves files into its internal Downloads manager rather than moving them directly to your iPhone Photos app (Camera Roll). Follow these simple steps to move your video to your Photos gallery:

1. After tapping Download MP4, tap the small blue arrow icon in Safari's address bar and select Downloads.
2. Tap the downloaded video file to open the iOS media viewer.
3. Tap the iOS Share icon (bottom left corner) and select Save Video. The MP4 video will immediately appear in your iPhone Camera Roll under Recents.

Android (Chrome & Samsung Internet)

1. In the Pinterest Android app, tap Share on your chosen pin and tap Copy Link.
2. Open Chrome or Samsung Internet, go to getindevice.com, paste the URL, and tap Download.
3. Tap Download MP4 or Save Image. The file downloads directly to your phone's /Download folder and appears in your Gallery app.

Desktop (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox)

1. Open Pinterest in your browser and copy the pin URL from the top address bar.
2. Go to getindevice.com, paste the URL into the search box, and click Download.
3. Click Download MP4 or Save Image to store the file in your computer's Downloads directory.

Resolving pin.it Links and Board Share URLs

When sharing pins from the Pinterest mobile app, the link generated is often a shortened URL like https://pin.it/5xAbCdE. GetinDevice automatically resolves these shortened pin.it URLs to their canonical destination link in under 50 milliseconds while stripping unnecessary tracking parameters.

Organizing Downloaded Pins for Design Mood Boards and Workspaces

Interior designers, graphic artists, fashion stylists, and recipe bloggers rely heavily on Pinterest for visual reference. However, keeping reference assets solely inside live web boards leaves your projects vulnerable if an uploader deletes a pin or an external website link breaks.

Why Download Pinterest Pins for Offline Access?

Online pin boards can change over time if creators remove original pins, alter board permissions, or if external website links break. Downloading key video tutorials, DIY blueprints, and design references ensures your creative archive remains safe on your local drive, Google Drive, or Notion workspace.

Comprehensive Troubleshooting Guide for Download Issues

If you run into an issue while downloading a Pinterest video or image, check these common technical scenarios and solutions:

• "Invalid Link" or Shared Text Errors: When copying links from messaging apps (e.g. WhatsApp or Telegram), extra text like "Check out this pin! https://pin.it/..." can be included. Ensure you paste only the clean URL into GetinDevice.
• Secret or Private Board Restrictions: GetinDevice strictly respects privacy settings. Media saved on Secret Boards or private accounts cannot be extracted. Move the pin to a public board to download it.
• Expired CDN Security Tokens: Temporary download signatures (?auth_token=...) on Pinterest edge servers expire periodically. If a download stalls, refresh the page and re-paste the URL to generate a fresh media link.
• Numerical File Names (1234567890.mp4): Pinterest CDN edge servers assign numerical payload IDs to media files rather than pin titles. This is normal server behavior, and you can easily rename the file on your device.
• Muted Videos vs. Silent Pins: Some Pinterest Video Pins are published as silent looping clips without an audio track. If a video has no sound, verify whether the original pin had active audio on Pinterest.
• Shopping & Product Pins: Merchant Rich Pins linking externally to third-party shopping sites do not contain self-hosted video streams. Ensure you are downloading a self-hosted Pinterest Video Pin or Image Pin.

Safety & Security: Online Downloader vs. Browser Extension Risks

Many users search for Chrome extensions or desktop software to save Pinterest media. However, third-party browser extensions and executable software often require invasive permissions to read your browsing history, inject background scripts, or display unwanted popups.

GetinDevice is a 100% web-based utility. It runs strictly inside your standard web browser without installing any browser extensions, executable files, or tracking software, ensuring your browsing session remains safe, secure, and private.

Fair Use and Copyright Notice

Downloading public Pinterest media for personal inspiration, study, educational reference, or private mood boards is permitted under fair use principles. If you intend to use downloaded content for commercial advertising or public redistribution, always obtain permission from the original creator.
