On Pinterest, inspiration can strike at any moment! The image-sharing platform makes it easy to save and organize your favorite images and videos. What if you want to access that content outside of Pinterest as well? While you're welcome to download images off of Pinterest, there is no built-in mechanism for downloading videos. Fortunately, that doesn't mean you can't download your favorite videos from Pinterest. There are several third-party sites that allow you to download videos from Pinterest. While many of these sites are secure, you should always exercise caution when using a third-party website. Follow our guide and enjoy your favorite Pinterest videos wherever you go!
Steps
How to Download a Pinterest Video on Your Mobile Device
-
1Select a video on Pinterest. Posts on Pinterest may consist of an image, GIF, or video. Find a video that interests you, and tap to open it. You must be logged in to the Pinterest App to do this.
-
2Tap the three dots in the bottom right of your screen. Pinterest will allow you to share, save, or replay the video, but these three dots will provide you with additional options, including sending the video, reporting it to Pinterest, or copying its web link.Advertisement
-
3Tap "Copy Link." You will need the link in order to download the video, so tap "Copy Link" to add it to your phone's clipboard.
- You can only download one video at a time, so do not copy multiple links to your clipboard.
-
4Open a video conversion website in your phone's web browser. Pinterest users suggest https://www.expertsphp.com/pinterest-video-downloader.html or https://pinterestvideodownloader.com/ as reputable sites. [1]
- These sites are not approved by Pinterest, so use them at your own risk!
- These sites should work on both Apple and Android devices.
-
5Copy the Pinterest link into the site's search box. Most video conversion sites are set up the same, with a search box sitting in the center of the homepage. Copy your Pinterest link into the box, and tap "Download."
-
6Download your video. Once you tap "Download," the website will convert the video's link into a downloadable file, typically an .mp4. Hold down the video or file name to download the video, and save it wherever you'd like!
- The process of downloading a Pinterest video is similar to downloading a YouTube video. However, you cannot use a YouTube converter for Pinterest videos, nor can you use a Pinterest converter for YouTube videos.
