How to Download Pinterest Videos

You can save an available video from a publicly accessible Pinterest Pin by copying the Pin's URL and processing it with a Pinterest video downloader such as Pinova. The link must identify one public Pin, and that Pin must expose video media that Pinova can access.

The basic process

How to Download a Pinterest Video

The safest starting point is the individual Pin page. A board may contain many Pins, while a profile or search URL does not identify the exact media you want. Open the video first, confirm that it plays, and then follow these three steps.

01
Find the video
Open Pinterest and select the individual public video Pin you want to save. Make sure the Pin itself plays before continuing.
02
Copy the Pinterest URL
Use Pinterest's Share or Copy link option. Copy the complete address for the Pin rather than a board, profile, or search page.
03
Process and download
Open Pinova's Pinterest Video Downloader, paste the URL, and check the preview before downloading the available video.

Open the Pinterest video downloader

How to Download Pinterest Videos on iPhone

Open Pinterest and find the video Pin. Tap Share, choose Copy link, and open Pinova in Safari. Paste the Pinterest URL, process it, and start the available download. Safari commonly makes downloads available through the Files app, but the exact folder and save options depend on your iOS and Safari settings.

If you want the file in Photos, open the downloaded file in Files and use the share options when Save Video is available.

How to Download Pinterest Videos on Android

Open the individual video Pin in Pinterest, select Share, and copy the link. Open Pinova in a current mobile browser, paste the URL, and wait for the available media preview. If the result is the expected video, select the download control.

Android browsers generally use a Downloads folder, but browser preferences, storage permissions, and Android versions can change where the file appears.

See the Android download guide

How to Download Pinterest Videos on PC

Open Pinterest in your browser and select the desired video Pin. Copy the full URL from the address bar or Pinterest's share menu. Then open Pinova, paste the URL, process the Pin, and download the available media after checking the preview.

Your browser normally saves the file to its configured Downloads location. Use the browser's download list if you cannot find it.

A clear workflow

How Pinova Works

Pinova accepts a secure pinterest.com or pin.it address for an individual public Pin. It validates the link, processes the publicly accessible media, and presents an available download option when video can be found. You can preview the result before saving it.

Pinova does not unlock private content, restore deleted media, or turn an image into a video. The result depends on what is available for that public Pin at the time of the request.

Troubleshooting

Why a Pinterest Video May Not Download

A valid-looking address does not always lead to accessible video. Verify the Pin before repeatedly submitting the same URL.

Use the detailed troubleshooting guide

The Pinterest URL is incomplete or contains extra characters.

The Pin is private, deleted, restricted, or unavailable.

The address points to a board, profile, or search page instead of one Pin.

The Pin contains an image or another unsupported media state rather than available video.

Pinterest changed the page or media response used for that particular Pin.

The source media, network, or Pinterest response is temporarily unavailable.

Mobile access

Can You Download Pinterest Videos on Mobile?

Yes, when the public Pin exposes available video media. Pinova is web-based, so you can open it in a supported mobile browser without installing a separate downloader application. Use Pinterest's Share or Copy link action, switch to the browser, paste the URL, and review the result. Browser permissions and operating-system settings still control where the file is saved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I download a video from Pinterest?

Open the public video Pin, copy its link, paste that URL into Pinova's video downloader, and process it. If Pinova finds available video media, review the preview and use the download button.

Can I download Pinterest videos on my phone?

Yes. Pinova is web-based and works through a supported mobile browser. Copy the Pin link in Pinterest, open Pinova in your browser, paste the link, and follow the download prompt.

Your browser and device choose the location. It is commonly a Downloads or Files location, but the exact folder depends on browser settings and the operating system.
