Yes. PinSaver does not charge, and it does not ask you to create an account. Short rate limits exist only to stop automated abuse, not to meter a normal visit.
No. You need the link to a public Pin and a browser. PinSaver does not connect to your Pinterest account and does not install anything.
No. If a Pin is private, deleted or hidden behind a login, PinSaver cannot see it either. Open the Pin in a private window: if you cannot, neither can this tool.
The best MP4 Pinterest published for that Pin, plus any smaller renditions we can find. PinSaver does not upscale or re-encode. If the creator posted 720p, that is the top of the list. A smaller upload stays small.
On iPhone and iPad, Safari keeps the file in Downloads, then you can Share it into Photos or Files. On Android, Chrome saves to the Downloads folder. On Windows and Mac, the file goes to your browser's Downloads folder.
No. The file is streamed to you when you ask for it. PinSaver does not build a gallery of Pins and does not store the media after the download finishes.
The link may point at a board, a profile or a search, or the Pin may be private, removed or a type the public page does not expose. Open the Pin itself, copy that link, and try again.
Only if you have the right to. Saving a public Pin for personal reference is not a licence to repost it, sell it or use it in an ad. Ask the creator. Copyright stays with them.
A single Pin URL such as pinterest.com/pin/123…, including country domains and the slug in front of the id, and pin.it short links. The box also accepts a link with no https://.
Not in this version. PinSaver downloads one public Pin at a time. If you paste a board or a profile, it asks you to open a single Pin and copy that link.
Yes, when the creator uploaded a soundtrack. PinSaver does not strip audio and does not add any.
The image tool prefers the original upload, then offers smaller widths such as 1200, 736 and 474 when those paths exist. The feed picture is usually only 736px wide.
Yes. A GIF Pin is saved as a GIF. If Pinterest also published an MP4 of the same animation, that file is listed as another option.
Yes, when the public page lists those pages. Each page becomes its own file, in the creator's order, and you can download them one after another.
Safari's Downloads. Tap the arrow icon in the address bar, open the file, then use Share → Save Video or Save Image if you want it in Photos. iOS sometimes puts the file in Files first.
Chrome's download list, which is usually the Downloads folder. Open the notification or the Files app to move a video into Gallery.
In the Downloads folder of the browser you used. Ctrl+J on Windows or Cmd+J on Mac opens the download list.
Short links expire or get copied with extra words stuck to them. Open the Pin, use Share → Copy link, and paste the fresh URL. A link from a board or a profile will not work.
No. You get the file Pinterest is already showing. Watermarks, captions burned into the video, and crops stay as the creator left them.
No. PinSaver is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Pinterest, Inc. Pinterest is a trademark of its owner.
