What is a Pinterest video downloader?
Pinterest has grown from a board of images into a home for short videos: recipes, craft and DIY tutorials, workouts, styling ideas. The app lets you save a pin to a board but not to your device. A Pinterest video downloader saves the video as an MP4, so your inspiration is available offline.
Open the pin, tap the share icon, choose Copy link and paste it into Clip Converter. Both pinterest.com addresses and pin.it short links work.
How to use the Pinterest Downloader
- Copy the pin link. Open the video pin, press the share icon and choose Copy link. pin.it short links work too.
- Paste it on the homepage. Paste the link into the box on the Clip Converter homepage and press Get Clip to load the video.
- Download. Choose a quality and save the MP4.
Key features
- Video pins as MP4. Recipes, tutorials, DIY and design clips are saved as standard MP4 files.

Video pins and image pins
This tool is designed for pins that contain a video. For an image pin, Pinterest’s own “Download image” option in the three-dot menu is the quickest route.
For video pins, the Thumbnail tab additionally lets you save the cover image — useful when you want a still for a mood board alongside the clip.
When a pin will not load
- The pin is on a secret board, visible only to its owner and collaborators.
- The pin has been deleted by its creator or removed by Pinterest.
- The pin is only a link to a video hosted elsewhere — paste that original link instead.
Keeping it fair
Pins belong to the people who made them. Saving a tutorial to follow in your kitchen or workshop is ordinary personal use. Re-uploading someone’s video to your own account or using it commercially requires their permission.
