Last updated · Reviewed by the PinSaveHD team · How we check facts
The PinSaveHD Image Downloader saves the original image behind a public pin, not the small 736-pixel preview in the feed. Paste the pin link and tap Download. You see the real width and height first, and the file keeps its original format: JPG, PNG or WebP.

What can I download from Pinterest?
Each kind of pin gives you a different file. PinSaveHD detects the type for you.
| Pin type | What you get | File format | Size | Best tool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Video pin | The video with sound | MP4 (H.264, sometimes HEVC) | Often up to 720p; some 1080p | Video Downloader |
| 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 |
What quality will I get?
You get exactly what Pinterest stores. Most videos top out at 720p, and some at 1080p. Pinterest does not keep 4K copies.
| File option | What it means | Plays or opens on | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP4 · H.264 | Standard video file | Every phone, computer and editor | You want it to just work (default) |
| MP4 · HEVC (H.265) | Same look, smaller file | Recent iPhones, Macs, most new Android; Windows may need an extension | You want to save space |
| HLS (.m3u8) | A streaming playlist, not one file | Video players only | Not offered; we list the direct MP4 instead |
| JPG / PNG / WebP | Original image file | Everywhere (WebP: modern apps) | Saving image pins; convert WebP if needed |
| Cover JPG | Still thumbnail of a video | Everywhere | Mood boards and previews |
Sizes are read from the actual files. PinSaveHD never upscales or relabels a file as “4K”.

- 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 |

How to download Pinterest images in full size
To download Pinterest images at their real size, open the Pin, copy its link, paste it above and press Download. PinSaveHD finds the original file behind the Pin instead of the 736-pixel copy the feed shows, and lists every size Pinterest stores so you can pick the largest. The image downloader works for single Pins, every page of a carousel and Idea Pin images.
On iPhone, long-press the image after it opens and choose Save to Photos, or save it to Files. On Android and computers it goes to Downloads. For whole boards, use the board downloader; to check the right size before you post your own Pins, see the Pinterest image size guide.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download Pinterest images in high quality?
Paste the Pin link into the Pinterest image downloader and choose the largest size listed. That is the original upload, not the smaller preview from the feed.
How do I save a Pinterest image in full size?
Copy the pin link, paste it here and tap Download. We fetch the original upload, which is usually much larger than the 736px preview.
Why is my saved Pinterest image blurry?
You probably saved the feed preview, which is about 736 pixels wide. The original file is often larger. If the uploader posted a small image, the original is small too.
Can I convert a WebP pin to JPG?
Yes. Use the Media Converter, which turns WebP into JPG or PNG inside your browser.
Does it work for carousels?
For every slide of a carousel, use the Carousel Downloader. This page saves the main image of a pin.
Is PinSaveHD free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. A fair-use limit of about 30 lookups a minute applies.
