How to download Pinterest videos on PC

pinterest.com/pin/123…/, or tap Share → Copy link in the Pinterest app. - 2
Paste it into Top Video Downloader and click Check formats.

Which Pinterest links work?
pinterest.com/pin/…: the standard pin link, and the kind our daily check downloads.in.pinterest.com/pin/…,uk.pinterest.com/pin/…and other country subdomains: the same site, so they work the same way.pin.it/…: the short link from Share. Not part of our tests; if it fails, open it in a browser and copy the full pinterest.com/pin/ address.- Boards and profiles: not tested. Use links to individual pins for reliable results.
Saving a whole mood board's worth of videos? Paste several pin links at once, or put them in a .txt file and use Import a list of links. The app takes up to 1000 links at a time, and each one counts as one download.
Why there is no Pinterest login in the app
Platform logins covers 20 sites, and Pinterest isn't one of them. Video in public pins opens without an account; our daily test downloads a Pinterest pin with no login at all. The flip side: secret boards and pins that only show after you sign in can't be downloaded. If your browser needs a login to play the pin, the app won't get it either.
Pinterest video quality and the free plan
Pinterest re-encodes uploads and stores them in a few sizes. The app lists them by frame height and saves your pick as MP4. A free account gives 10 downloads a day up to 720p, and the limit counts height. Pinterest videos are often vertical, so a 720×1280 version is already 1280 pixels tall and costs 1 credit. Each row shows Free or 1 credit before you start. A subscription or lifetime plan removes the limit; see pricing.
Pinterest video not downloading? Common causes
- The app says there is nothing to download: the pin holds an image or an animated image, not a video. The app saves video and audio, not pictures.
- The pin points to another site: many pins just link to a YouTube video or similar. Open the source and download it from there, for example with our YouTube guide.
- "Unavailable": the pin was deleted or is visible only to its owner.
- "Site changed": Pinterest changed its pages and the yt-dlp engine needs an update, which 2.0 receives separately from app releases, signature-checked. Today's platform results are on the status page.
- No sound in the file: plenty of Pinterest videos are uploaded silent. If the quality list had no Audio only row, the original has no audio either.
On your phone? An online Pinterest downloader is simpler there, because our app is desktop-only; see mobile options. On a PC the app wins once you save more than a pin or two: no ads, a queue with 1–5 parallel downloads, and a searchable history. Compare both approaches on online vs app.
Do I need a Pinterest account to download videos?
No. Public video pins download without a login, and the app doesn't offer a Pinterest login at all. For the same reason it can't download secret boards or pins that only open after you sign in. A link to the pin is all Top Video Downloader needs.
Can I download images from Pinterest with this app?
No. Top Video Downloader saves video and audio only. If a pin contains a picture, the app reports there is nothing to download, and no credit is used. To keep an image, use your browser's "Save image as" instead.
Why does my Pinterest video have no sound?
Most likely the original has none; many Pinterest videos are silent. There's an easy check: if the quality list shows no Audio only row, the pin has no audio track. If the pin plays with sound on the site but the file is silent, tell us on Telegram.
Can I download several Pinterest videos at once?
Yes. Paste several pin links at once, or save them in a .txt file and import it; the app accepts up to 1000 links per batch. Each link counts as one download. We haven't tested whole board links, so individual pin links are the reliable route for bulk downloads.
Is it legal to download videos from Pinterest?
Many pins are other people's videos that someone saved to a board, so the rights belong to the creator, not the pinner. A private copy for inspiration is usually fine; publishing it needs permission. Details on is it legal to download videos.

- Online video downloader vs desktop appAn online downloader is fine for one short clip: nothing to install, and it works on a phone. A desktop app such as Top Video Downloader is better when you want 1080p or 4K with sound, whole playlists, videos behind a login and no ads. Here is how the two compare on quality, safety, privacy, batch downloads and speed.
- Is it legal to download videos from YouTube and other sites?Downloading a video isn't automatically legal or illegal: it depends on who owns it, what the site's terms allow and where you live. Your own uploads, public-domain films and Creative Commons videos are generally fine. YouTube's terms forbid downloading without its permission, and sharing someone else's video almost always needs the rights holder's consent.
