What you get: one MP4 per video page, plus images

Pinterest's short videos are idea pins (the app's Reels-style feed). Their JSON lists only a streaming playlist; the tool finds the matching 720p MP4 and checks that it exists. Carousel pins with several slides give one download per slide, video or picture, up to 20.

The Microsoft Photos app (it supports MP4).

Keep it with your photos and media

Move the file from Downloads to Pictures, Videos or Music in File Explorer if you want to keep it with your other media.

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.
