How to Download Pinterest Videos on PC

Downloading Pinterest videos on a PC is the easiest method of all. Desktop browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge handle direct MP4 downloads natively — no extensions, no extra software, and no file permission headaches. Whether you're on Windows or Mac, the process takes less than 30 seconds.

In this guide, we'll show you the exact steps to save any Pinterest video to your computer in HD quality. For detailed quality settings and format options, see our HD quality guide.

The Browser Method (Works on Any PC)

This method works on Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux, and Chromebooks. You only need a web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or Brave all work perfectly.

Step 1: Copy the Pinterest Video Link

1. Open Pinterest in your browser and log in to your account. 2. Find the video Pin you want to download. 3. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the Pin, or right-click the Pin card. 4. Click Copy Link to save the video URL to your clipboard.

Tip: You can also copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar when you have the Pin open.

Step 2: Paste & Extract the Video

1. Open a new tab in your browser. 2. Go to Pin Video Download. 3. Click on the input field and press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac) to paste the Pinterest link. 4. Click the Download button and wait 2–3 seconds while the extraction engine resolves the HD video file.

Step 3: Save the Video to Your Computer

1. Once the video details card appears with a preview thumbnail, click the Download Video button. 2. Your browser will either: - Start the download automatically — the MP4 file goes straight to your Downloads folder. - Open the video in a new tab — in this case, right-click the video player and select Save video as… to choose where to save it. 3. The file is now saved on your PC, ready to watch, edit, or share!

Step 4: Find Your Downloaded Video

• Windows: Open File Explorer → click Downloads in the left sidebar → your video is there.
• Mac: Open Finder → click Downloads in the sidebar → find your MP4 file.
• Chromebook: Open the Files app → navigate to Downloads.

Downloading Multiple Videos at Once

If you need to save several Pinterest videos in a batch, the PC method is the fastest:

1. Open multiple tabs — paste a different Pinterest link in each tab on pinvideodownload.net. 2. Download one by one — click the Download button on each tab. All files will queue up in your browser's download manager. 3. Check your Downloads folder — all videos will be saved there with their original filenames.

Tip: Use Ctrl+J (Windows/Chrome) or Cmd+Shift+J (Mac/Chrome) to quickly open your browser's download history and see all saved files.

Browser-Specific Tips

Google Chrome (Recommended)

Chrome handles MP4 downloads seamlessly. Files are saved to your default Downloads folder. You can change the download location in Settings > Downloads > Location.

Mozilla Firefox

Firefox will show a download prompt asking you to confirm the save. You can choose Save File to download it directly. Check your downloads by clicking the arrow icon (↓) in the toolbar.

Microsoft Edge

Edge works identically to Chrome for downloads. Look for the download notification in the top-right corner of the browser window.

Safari (Mac)

Safari may play the video inline instead of downloading it. If this happens: 1. Right-click the video player. 2. Select Download Video or Save Video As… 3. Choose your save location and click Save.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

The download button opens the video in a new tab instead of saving it

• Right-click the Download Video button and select Save Link As… to force a file download.
• Alternatively, once the video opens in the new tab, right-click the video and choose Save video as…

Video quality is low

• Make sure you're copying the link to the original Pin, not a repin or a preview. Open the Pin fully before copying the link.
• Our tool always extracts the highest available resolution from Pinterest's servers.

Browser blocks the download

• Check if your browser's pop-up blocker is interfering. Allow pop-ups for `pinvideodownload.net` in your browser settings.
• Disable any ad-blockers temporarily if the download button isn't responding.

Can I download Pinterest GIFs too?

• Yes! Pinterest GIFs are actually stored as short video files. The same method works — paste the GIF Pin link and download the MP4 file. You can also download Pinterest images in HD using a similar process.
