Save Pinterest Videos Free — The Easiest Method
Wondering how to save a Pinterest video to your phone or computer? Pinterest intentionally removes the ability to save videos to your device — you can save pins to boards, but you cannot download the actual video file from within the Pinterest app or website. PinTiger solves this with a simple three-step process that works on every device.
PinTiger is a free online Pinterest video saver that extracts the original video file from Pinterest's servers and delivers it directly to your device as an MP4 file. No watermarks, no quality loss, no account needed — just paste and save.
How to Save a Pinterest Video in 3 Steps
- Copy the Pinterest video URL. Find the video on Pinterest, tap or click Share, then Copy Link. On desktop you can also copy the URL from your browser's address bar directly.
- Paste into PinTiger. Open pintiger.com and paste the URL into the input box at the top of the page.
- Download and save. Click Download Video, choose your preferred quality, and click the Download button. The video saves as an MP4 to your device.
Why Can't You Save Pinterest Videos Directly?
Pinterest made a deliberate product decision not to include video download functionality in their app or website. Their stated reason is to protect content creators whose videos are pinned on the platform. While this is a valid concern for copyright protection, it creates a frustrating experience for everyday users who simply want to watch a video offline, share it in a chat, or keep it for personal reference.
PinTiger addresses this by fetching the video directly from Pinterest's public content delivery network (CDN). Since the video URL is already accessible to your browser when you watch it on Pinterest, PinTiger simply makes that same URL accessible to you as a downloadable file — no hacking, no circumventing security, just fetching a publicly accessible file.
Save Pinterest Videos to Any Device
One of PinTiger's biggest advantages is that it works on every device without any installation:
- iPhone and iPad: Open pintiger.com in Safari, paste the link, download the video, and save to Camera Roll via Files or the Share menu.
- Android phones and tablets: Open pintiger.com in Chrome, paste the link, download the video — it saves directly to your Downloads folder and gallery.
- Windows PC: Open pintiger.com in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, paste the link, click download — the MP4 saves to your Downloads folder.
- Mac: Open pintiger.com in Safari or Chrome, paste the link, click download — the MP4 saves to your Downloads folder.
Save Pinterest Videos in HD Quality
PinTiger always offers the highest quality version of a Pinterest video first. Most Pinterest videos are available in 1080p Full HD, 720p HD, 480p SD, and sometimes 360p. When you use PinTiger to save a Pinterest video, you choose your preferred quality — 1080p for the best experience on large screens, 720p for a good balance of quality and file size.
The video format is always MP4 — the universal video format that plays on every device, every TV, every video player, and every video editing application without any conversion. What you save is exactly what Pinterest stores, with nothing added and nothing removed.

How Many Pinterest Videos Can I Save?

Frequently Asked Questions About Saving Pinterest Videos
Does saving a Pinterest video notify the creator? No. Pinterest does not notify pin creators when someone downloads their video using a third-party tool. The creator can see view counts and save counts on their pins, but not download counts from external tools.
Can I save Pinterest videos with music? Yes. PinTiger downloads the complete video file including audio, exactly as it plays on Pinterest. If the video has background music, that audio is included in the downloaded MP4 file.
What if the Pinterest video is an idea pin? Idea pins (formerly story pins) are supported by PinTiger. Paste the URL of the idea pin and PinTiger will extract the video content.
