Last updated · Reviewed by the PinSaveHD team · How we check facts
A Pinterest /ideas/ page is a topic feed that lists many pins, not a single pin. To save something from it, open the pin you like, copy its link and paste it here. PinSaveHD then downloads that pin’s video or image like any other public pin.
Key facts
- /ideas/ links are topic pages, not pins.
- Open a single pin and copy its /pin/ link.
- Only public pins work. Private boards, secret boards and deleted pins cannot be saved.

How do I use the Ideas Page Helper?

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 |
