Pinterest Video Downloader — Download Any Pin Video Free

How to Download Pinterest Videos

Downloading a Pinterest video with PinRadar takes less than a minute and requires nothing beyond your web browser. The process works the same on desktop and mobile, and supports all types of video pins published on Pinterest.

Supported Video Formats

PinRadar supports all video content hosted on Pinterest and delivers it in MP4 format, which is the most widely compatible video container available. MP4 files play natively on iPhones, Android phones, Windows, macOS, smart TVs, and every major media player without the need for additional codecs.

Our video resolver checks three quality levels in order: 720p HD, 480p standard definition, and 360p. It automatically selects the best version available for the specific pin you are downloading, so you always receive the highest quality file Pinterest has stored. File sizes vary depending on the length and resolution of the video, but the download process is the same regardless.

Standard video pins, Pinterest Reels, and Idea pins that include video segments are all supported. Idea pins are Pinterest's multi-frame story format, and when they contain embedded video clips, PinRadar extracts those clips in the same way as regular video pins. Animated content and short looping clips are handled correctly across all pin types.

Why Use PinRadar Video Downloader?

PinRadar's pinterest video downloader was built specifically for Pinterest's video infrastructure, which makes it more reliable than general-purpose download tools that support dozens of platforms. Because the tool is Pinterest-specific, it correctly handles pin.it short links, board-level pin URLs, and Pinterest's CDN structure for video files.

One of the main limitations of other methods is quality loss. Screen recording captures video at whatever resolution your monitor displays it, which is typically lower than the source file and introduces compression artifacts from the recording software itself. Other third-party tools often re-encode the video before delivering it to you, adding a second round of quality reduction. PinRadar fetches the raw video stream directly from Pinterest's servers and delivers it to you without any modifications, so the output matches Pinterest's own source file.

No watermarks are added at any point in the process. The downloaded MP4 is exactly what Pinterest hosts: clean, unmodified video content. There are no daily limits, no account requirements, and no software installation. The tool is entirely browser-based, which means it is available from any device with internet access and a modern browser.

What Are Pinterest Video Pins?

Pinterest video pins are regular pins that contain a video file instead of a static image. They autoplay silently in the Pinterest feed, which makes them significantly more effective at capturing attention than still images. Studies of Pinterest engagement data consistently show that video pins drive higher click-through rates and save counts compared to image pins in the same category.

Idea pins are Pinterest's expanded video format, originally called Story pins. They support multiple frames, text overlays, and multiple clips in sequence, making them similar to social media story formats on other platforms. When an Idea pin includes a video segment, that clip can be downloaded using PinRadar the same way as a standard video pin.

Creators and marketers download competitor video pins to understand which video styles, durations, and formats perform well in their niche. Analyzing what is already working on Pinterest through saved examples is a practical way to build a data-informed video content strategy.

Pinterest Video Downloader for Content Creators

Saving viral video pins is one of the fastest ways to understand what video content resonates with Pinterest audiences in a specific category. Rather than guessing what works, creators can build a reference library of high-performing video pins that have already demonstrated engagement in the feed.

Downloading video pins in their original quality matters for reference work. A compressed screenshot or screen recording does not accurately represent the original file's resolution, color accuracy, or motion smoothness. When studying competitor video content or saving inspiration for your own production, having the actual source-quality file gives you an accurate reference point.

Pairing this video download tool with the PinRadar Chrome extension gives creators a complete workflow: save the video asset locally, then check its save count, viral score, and keyword associations directly on Pinterest to understand exactly why it performed well.
