How to Download Pinterest Images and Videos

Pinterest is a fantastic platform for discovering and saving images and videos. While it’s easy to save images to your own boards, sometimes you might want to download them directly to your computer or device. Below, we’ll explore the different ways to download images and videos on Pinterest.

How to Download Pinterest Images on the App

If you’re using the Pinterest app on your mobile device, you can download images directly from the platform. This can be useful to save images and make them available offline, or to have a backup of the Pin in case your account or the Pinterest board get deleted.

Here’s how to download an image from Pinterest:

1. Open the Pinterest app on your device.
2. Tap to expand the Pin you want to download. 
3. Click the three dots ‘…’ in the upper right hand corner. 
4. Choose ‘Download image’
5. Your chosen image will be downloaded to your device’s photo gallery.

How to Download a Pin for Desktop

If you’re using Pinterest on your desktop, you can download images in a similar way to the app:

1. Go to the Pinterest website on your desktop (www.pinterest.com).
2. Click to expand on the Pin you want to download. 
3. Click the three dots ‘…’ to the right of the Pin. 
4. Choose ‘Download image’
5. The image will be downloaded to your computer. 

How to Download a Pinterest Video

Pinterest doesn’t allow for the videos posted to their platform to be downloaded directly from the feed. Instead, you’ll need to make use of a reputable third-party platform to download a video Pin. 

1. Open Pinterest.
2. Choose the video Pin you want to download. 
3. Click the ‘Share’ button to get the video URL. 
4. Copy the video URL. 
5. Navigate to a reputable third-party Pinterest downloader like www.pinterestdownloader.com
6. Paste the URL into the text box and click ‘Download’.
