How to Download Pinterest Video on Desktop
On desktop, the whole thing takes under a minute: copy the pin link from Pinterest in your browser, paste it here, preview, and save the original file to your computer.
Steps
- On pinterest.com, open the video pin, click Share, then Copy link. Short pin.it links work too.
- Go to GoPinSave in the same browser. Paste the link in the box on the Pinterest Video Downloader page and press Download.
- Check the preview, pick a quality, and click the download button. The file saves to your browser’s download folder.
- Open the file from your downloads bar to play it, or move it to any folder you like.
Browser notes
Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all handle the download the same way: the file goes to your default downloads folder. If your browser is set to ask where to save each file, pick a folder you will remember. If a download opens in a new tab instead of saving, right-click the download button and choose Save link as — that forces a real file save.
If it still fails
Private-board links cannot be read, deleted pins show as not found, and board links fail — open one video first. For Idea Pins that only show a photo, read the Idea Pin problem page.
Frequently asked questions
Which browsers work?
Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on Windows and Mac. No extension or install is needed.
Where is the file saved?
In your browser’s default downloads folder, unless you set the browser to ask each time.
Can I download in bulk on desktop?
Not yet — one pin at a time. Board downloads are planned for later and are not promised here.
