How to Easily Download Pictures and Videos on Pinterest

Over the years, Pinterest has expanded its support for different content formats. You can now upload photo pins, video pins, and even idea pins, which resemble a status and can contain up to 20 pages of content. While Pinterest offers a download option for photos on some platforms, it's not consistent across all platforms. Additionally, Pinterest does not provide a built-in option to download videos and idea pins. However, there are third-party services that can help you download photos, videos, and idea pins on any platform, sometimes even in bulk.

Downloading Photo, Video, and Idea Pins on Pinterest on Mobile

The Pinterest app for Android and iOS includes a native option to download photo pins. This option, unfortunately, only works for photo pins and not for photos within idea pins. You can easily identify an idea pin on the homepage as it will have a number and page icon in the top left corner of the photo, indicating the number of pages it contains.

Download Photo Pins from Pinterest on Android and iOS

  1. Open the Pinterest app on your smartphone and select any photo pin.
  2. Once the photo is opened, tap on the three-dot menu and select the Download Image option.

Download Video and Idea Pins on Android

  1. Download the Image and Video for Pinterest app and open it. This app allows you to download any type of pin, whether it's a photo, video, or idea pin.
  2. Open the Pinterest app and select the pin you want to download.
  3. Tap on the three-dot menu and select the Copy Link option.
  4. Open the Image and Video for Pinterest app, paste the link, and tap on the Download button.

Download Video and Idea Pins on iOS

Unfortunately, there isn't a reliable Pinterest downloader for iOS. However, you can use a web app that works well on smartphone browsers too.

  1. Open the Pinterest app on your smartphone and select the pin you want to download.
  2. Tap on the three-dot menu and select the Copy Link option.
  3. Now, open pinterestdownloader.com, paste the link, and tap on the Download button.

Please note that if you're downloading an idea pin, it will only download the photo or video of the page you have copied the link to. To download all the pages in an idea pin, you need to copy the link to each page separately and download them manually.

Download Photo, Video, and Idea Pins on Pinterest on Desktop

Unlike the mobile app, Pinterest's desktop version doesn't offer a direct way to download photos. However, you can still use your browser's native image download feature to download Pinterest images, whether they are photo pins or photos within idea pins.

Download Videos on Pinterest on Desktop

  1. Install the Pinterest Video Downloader Chrome extension.
