Last updated · Reviewed by the PinSaveHD team · How we check facts
Pinterest search pages show many results, not one pin. To save a result, tap the pin to open it, copy its link and paste it here. PinSaveHD then saves that pin’s video or image in its real size. Search result pages themselves are not downloaded.
Key facts
- Search pages are lists, not pins.
- Open the result to get its /pin/ link.
- Only public pins work. Private boards, secret boards and deleted pins cannot be saved.

1Copy the link
Use Share → Copy link in the app or copy the browser address bar.
2Paste it above
pinterest.com and pin.it links both work.
3Save the files

| Image pin | The original upload | JPG, PNG or WebP | Original size (not the 736px preview) | Image Downloader |
| GIF pin | The animation | GIF, or a looping MP4 | As uploaded | GIF Downloader |
| Idea Pin | Each page as a file | MP4 or image per page | Per page | Idea Pin Downloader |
| Carousel | Each slide as a file | JPG, PNG or WebP | Per slide | Carousel Downloader |
| Board / profile | Recent public pins | ZIP made in your browser | About 50 pins | Board Downloader |

Why won’t my Pinterest link download?
- 1Is it a pin link?It must contain /pin/ or pin.it
- 2Is the pin public?Open it while logged out
- 3Too many tries?Wait 60 seconds, then retry
- 4Still failing?The pin may have been removed
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| “Not a valid Pinterest link” | Copied text, or a search / ideas page | Use Share → Copy link; the link must contain /pin/ or pin.it |
| “Pin not found” or private | Pin is private, secret or deleted | Open it while logged out; if it does not show, it cannot be saved |
| “Too many requests” | Fair-use limit (~30 lookups a minute) | Wait 60 seconds and try again |
| Video plays instead of saving | Safari or the browser opened the MP4 | iPhone: Share → Save to Files. Computer: right-click → Save video as |
| No sound | Pin has no audio, or app-added licensed music | Nothing to fix; licensed music is not in the public file |
| File will not open | HEVC or WebP not supported by the app | Pick the H.264 MP4, or convert WebP with the Media Converter |
