What you get: the original JPG, PNG or WebP

For a picture pin the tool fetches the original file Pinterest stores, not the 736-pixel preview the app shows. In our test a carousel picture listed as 736 pixels wide downloaded as an original of 1365×1706 pixels (194 KB). The format stays what the uploader used, usually JPG, sometimes PNG or WebP.

Which app opens it on iPhone?

Files (Quick Look preview).

Keep it with your photos and media

Photos and videos you save from Safari appear in Photos › Recently Saved. A file downloaded as a file stays in Files; touch and hold it and choose Open With to pick the app that should open it.

Good to know on iPhone

If Safari is set to save to iCloud Drive, the file appears in iCloud Drive › Downloads instead of On My iPhone.

If the download does not show up on iPhone

  • Check Files › Downloads first: Right after a download, tap the Downloads button next to Safari's search field to see the file.
  • 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.
