Pinterest Isn't Just Images Anymore
A few years ago, Pinterest was all static images — recipes, outfit ideas, home decor inspiration. But now? There are videos everywhere. Idea Pins, video Pins, even animated GIF Pins. And honestly, some of them are incredibly useful.
The problem is, Pinterest doesn't make it easy to save these to your camera roll. Sure, you can pin them to a board, but what if you want to watch a DIY tutorial offline? Or what if you need the image for a mood board in Canva?
How To Download Pinterest Videos
Video Pins are the trickiest to save, but here's how:
- Open the Pinterest video Pin you want to save.
- Tap the share icon and select 'Copy Link'.
- Open VidSaveo's Pinterest downloader in your browser.
- Paste the link and wait for format extraction.
- Select the video quality and download.
Saving Image Pins In Full Resolution
For image Pins, the process is similar but simpler. Pinterest often serves compressed versions in the app, so downloading through VidSaveo ensures you get the highest available resolution.
This is especially useful for designers and creators who need high-quality reference images for their mood boards or presentations.
What About Idea Pins (Story Pins)?
Idea Pins are multi-page Pins that can include a mix of images and videos. Currently, these are trickier to download as a complete set since each page is essentially a separate piece of media. VidSaveo will grab what's available from the link, but results may vary with multi-page Pins.
Tips For Pinterest Downloads
- Use the direct Pin URL — clicking 'Copy Link' from within the Pin gives you the correct link.
- For the best image quality, avoid screenshotting — always download the original file.
- Organize your downloaded Pins in folders on your phone to mirror your Pinterest boards.
- Respect the original creator — if you use a Pin in your own content, credit the source.
⚠️ Disclaimer
Respect Pinterest creators' intellectual property. Only download Pins for personal use or content you have rights to. Do not redistribute without permission.
