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.

Good to know on PC
Every browser keeps its own download folder setting; check the one you used.
If the download does not show up on PC
- Check the Downloads folder first: In Chrome, the download icon next to the address bar shows progress and the finished file; More › Downloads lists every download.
- 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.

Do I need an app or a Pinterest account?
No. It runs in the browser (Chrome or Edge), with no sign-up and no app to install.
Is PinDownload part of Pinterest?
No. PinDownload is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Pinterest. It only reads public pins.
Can I download private pins?
No. Only public pins can be read without logging in; private pins and secret boards are out of reach by design.
Is the file a real MP3?
No, and we say so plainly: it is an M4A file with the original AAC sound, copied without re-encoding, so nothing is lost on the way.
Is my video uploaded to cut the sound?
No. The MP4 is downloaded to your browser and the sound is cut out there; nothing is sent back to our server.
