What you get: the original animated .gif

GIF pins keep the original animated .gif. We checked: Pinterest serves no MP4 copy of a GIF pin, so the download is the .gif itself, which can be large (a 128×128 animation in our test was 1.49 MB). A still JPG of the first frame is offered too.

Which app opens it on Xiaomi?

File Manager.

Keep it with your photos and media

File Manager sorts files by their extension, so a downloaded MP4 shows up under Video and pictures under the Download category.

Good to know on Xiaomi

Xiaomi documents File Manager › Download for browser downloads; if you use Chrome instead, Chrome's More › Downloads list applies.

If the download does not show up on Xiaomi

  • Check File Manager › Download first: Open File Manager and look in the Download category; MP4 files also appear in the Video category.
  • 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.
