How to download a video pin from Pinterest

Pinterest doesn't offer a built-in way to save a video pin to your device — the app and website are built around browsing and re-pinning, not downloading. Here's how to save a copy for yourself.

Step 1: Copy the pin link

1. Open the video pin, either in the Pinterest app or at pinterest.com.
2. Tap the Share icon on the pin.
3. Tap Copy link. It'll look something like https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890123456789/ or a shortened https://pin.it/AbCdEfG link.

Step 2: Paste it into VidPeel

1. Go back to the VidPeel homepage.
2. Paste the link into the box and click Get video.
3. Once the preview loads, click Download MP4.

Public pins and boards only

VidPeel can only retrieve pins that are publicly visible — the same content anyone could find without logging in. Pins on private or secret boards aren't accessible to any external tool.

A note on using the video afterward

Most pins link back to content originally posted elsewhere (a creator's own video, a brand's ad, etc.) — Pinterest is often a repost platform, not the original source. Downloading a pin doesn't change who owns that content. Use it for your own reference, and credit or seek permission from the original creator before republishing anything.
