How to Download Pinterest Videos and Images in HD

Quick answer: copy the pin's link, paste it into the Pinterest Downloader and tap Save. You get the original upload: the full-size image, or the video as an MP4.

Pinterest's own "Download image" button often saves a resized preview, and video pins can't be saved at all. Here's how to get the real files.

Step 1: Copy the pin link

  • App: open the pin → tap Share (or ⋯) → Copy link. You'll usually get a short pin.it/... link. That's fine.
  • Website: open the pin and copy the address bar (pinterest.com/pin/123456789/).

Step 2: Paste and preview

Open the Pinterest Downloader and paste the link. SaveAnyReel follows short pin.it links automatically and shows a preview.

Step 3: Save the original

  • Image pins: tap Save for the original-resolution JPG, often 2–4× larger than what you see in the app.
  • Video pins: tap Save for an HD MP4 with sound.

Why the original matters

Good for mood boards / design Blurry when zoomed Sharp

Tips

  • Idea Pins (multi-page pins) count as video pins. Paste the link the same way.
  • If a pin only shows a link to another website, the image belongs to that site; open the source page to get it.
  • Save images for inspiration and personal mood boards. Using someone's photo or design commercially needs the creator's permission.

Troubleshooting

"Media not found": the pin was deleted or made secret. Check the link in a private browser window.

I got a small image: some pins were uploaded small. SaveAnyReel always fetches the largest version that exists.
