How to Download Pinterest Videos
Updated 2026-10-01
Pinterest has quietly become a real video platform — recipes, workouts, DIY walkthroughs and Idea Pins are often video rather than a still image. But Pinterest gives you no way to save one for offline use, and the Pin disappears from your feed the moment the creator deletes it. You can save a public video Pin to your device in a few seconds, straight from your browser, with no app and no Pinterest login.
- 1Copy the Pin link
Open the video Pin in the Pinterest app or on the web, tap the share icon and choose “Copy link”. Both the long pinterest.com/pin/… form and the short pin.it/… form work.
- 2Paste it into VoomReel
Open the Pinterest Video Downloader and paste the link into the box.
- 3Download the MP4
Tap Download. The video is saved as a standard MP4 at the quality Pinterest serves — there's no quality menu to pick through.
Why some Pins won't download
The most common reason is that the link isn't to a single Pin — a board, a profile or a search page has no one file behind it. Image Pins are fine: they come back as the full-size picture Pinterest stores, larger than the copy in the grid.
The second reason is visibility. Pins on a secret board aren't publicly accessible, and VoomReel never logs into an account, so it can only see what any logged-out visitor can see. If you're unsure, open the link in a private browser window — if you can't watch it there, it can't be downloaded.
Deleted Pins fail for the obvious reason: the video no longer exists. This is also the best argument for saving anything you actually rely on, like a recipe or a repair walkthrough.
Idea Pins and multi-page Pins
Public Idea Pins work. An Idea Pin is a sequence of pages, and what comes back is what the Pin exposes for the page your link points at, which can be fewer items than you see when swiping through it. If you need a specific page, open that page and copy its own link where Pinterest offers one.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. VoomReel runs in the browser, so iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac all behave the same. On iPhone, Safari saves the video to Files ▸ Downloads — open it there and tap Share → Save Video to put it in your Photos.
Quality and watermarks
The file you get is the one Pinterest serves, not a re-encode, so it doesn't lose quality on the way through. VoomReel doesn't add a watermark. If the video has a creator's handle or logo burned into the picture, that was in the original and can't be removed without re-encoding and cropping.
FAQ
Can I download image Pins too?
Yes. An image Pin returns the full-size file Pinterest stores, which is larger than the copy shown in the grid. Video Pins work the same way.
Do I need a Pinterest account?
No. VoomReel never asks for a login, which is also why it can only reach public Pins.
Can I download a whole board at once?
No. Paste one Pin link at a time; each link saves that single video.
Do pin.it short links work?
Yes. Both pin.it/… and the full pinterest.com/pin/… form are recognised, as are country domains like pinterest.co.uk.
Is it legal to download Pinterest videos?
For personal use of public content, generally yes. The video still belongs to whoever created it, so don't re-upload it or use it commercially without permission.
Does VoomReel keep a copy of the video?
No. The file is passed straight through to you and deleted immediately afterwards.
