How to Download Pinterest Videos & Images on Mobile (2025 Guide)
Pinterest is one of the most popular platforms for discovering inspiring images, DIY ideas, recipes, fashion, and short video clips. But Pinterest does not have a built-in download button for most content — especially videos. In this guide, you will learn exactly how to download Pinterest videos and images on mobile and desktop in 2025, completely free.
Why Can't You Download Pinterest Videos Directly?
Pinterest restricts direct video downloads to protect content creators' rights and to keep users on the platform longer. While you can save pins to boards within the app, downloading the actual video file to your device is not allowed through official means.
However, Pinterest videos are not DRM-protected like Netflix or Spotify content — which means third-party tools can legally access and download the publicly visible media from Pinterest pins.

How to Copy a Pinterest URL on Mobile
Before using a Pinterest downloader, you need to copy the pin URL. Here is how to do it on both Android and iPhone:
On Android:
- Open Pinterest app and find the video or image you want
- Tap the three dots (⋮) menu on the pin
- Tap "Copy Link" — the URL is now in your clipboard
On iPhone (iOS):
- Open Pinterest app and find your pin
- Tap the Share button (🔗) at the top
- Tap "Copy Link" from the share sheet
On Desktop / Browser:

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to download Pinterest videos?
Downloading Pinterest content for personal use is generally acceptable. However, republishing, selling, or using downloaded content commercially without the creator's permission may violate copyright law. Always respect original creators.
Why is my Pinterest video not downloading?
Make sure you are copying the correct pin URL — not the Pinterest home page or a board URL. The URL should contain /pin/ or be a pin.it short link. Some pins may be private or region-restricted.
What quality are downloaded videos?
Pinterest serves videos at 720p quality — which is HD quality and perfectly sharp on mobile screens. The tool downloads the best quality version available.
Does it work on iPhone without a special app?
Yes! ToolNestX works directly in Safari on iPhone — no app download needed. Just open the tool in Safari, paste the URL, and download.
