What you get: M4A (AAC), cut from the video
The sound is cut out of the pin's MP4 on your own device: the AAC samples are copied byte for byte into an .m4a file, with no re-encoding. In our tests a 9.5-second clip gave an 80 KB M4A and a 13-second clip 109 KB. If a video has no sound track, the tool says so instead of giving you a silent file.

Which app opens it on Android?
The Files app.
Keep it with your photos and media
Google Photos shows pictures and videos saved by other apps under Collections › On this device (device folders), so a downloaded file can be viewed there.
Good to know on Android
Google's help does not give one fixed folder path because phone makers choose it; open the Files app and look at Recents.
If the download does not show up on Android
- Check the Files app first: In Chrome, tap More (top right) › Downloads. Files by Google also lists new downloads under Recents.
- Make sure the pin is public. Private pins and secret boards cannot be read without logging in, and this tool never asks for your Pinterest password.
- Links expire after one hour. If a button stops working, paste the pin link again.
- A pin.it short link must be complete: copy it again from Share › Copy link.
