Save a Pinterest Video Pin to Your Device
Pinterest lets you save a video pin to a board, but it never gives you the actual file. There is no download button on a video pin, which is a problem the moment you want to follow a recipe at the stove, redo a DIY step away from your phone, or keep a workout you found before the pinner deletes it.
Paste the pin link here and ScreenApp imports the video through YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and most other public video links (Twitch, Loom, Dropbox, Google Drive, Pinterest, X, Threads, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili) through a generic importer. Pinterest links go through the generic importer (yes, via yt-dlp), the same path that handles Twitch, Dropbox, and the other platforms without their own dedicated handling. Because the import lands in your account like any other recording, you also get a transcript and AI chat on it, not just the file.
What you get:
- The pin’s video, imported and saved to your account
- A downloadable MP4 once the import is processed (import a video from a link and download it as MP4 once it has been processed), no watermark on any recording or export
- The video kept at up to 4K, matching the source resolution
- A transcript, in 99 languages, AI chat, and translation on the import (transcript and caption translation)
- Free plan: 3 imports to try, with the transcript and AI chat included; downloading the MP4 needs a paid plan
How to Download a Pinterest Video
- Copy the pin link: Open the pin, tap the three dots at the top or the share arrow, and choose Copy link. In the mobile app this hands you a short
pin.itlink, which works here just as well as a fullpinterest.com/pin/...URL. - Paste it into ScreenApp: The video imports and processing starts. A
pin.itlink is just a redirect to the real pin, so you do not need to expand it first. - Read the transcript, then download: The transcript and AI chat are ready first. Downloading the finished MP4 needs a paid plan; see why downloads are a paid feature.
The line for what imports is simple: if a logged-out browser can open the pin, ScreenApp can pull the file. A pin on a secret board, or from a private profile, needs a login the tool doesn’t have, so it can’t be pulled in. Quality follows what Pinterest hosts the pin at; see how we measure accuracy for how the transcript is scored.
Once you have the file, if you actually wanted the words out of it, a tutorial’s steps or a recipe’s ingredients, the video to text converter transcribes it, and the AI video summarizer pulls the key points.
One thing worth saying plainly. Downloading a public video does not hand you the rights to it. Saving a recipe clip to cook from is one thing. Reposting someone’s pin as your own content is a copyright problem unless you have permission. Save for your own use, sort out reuse separately.
Pinterest Video Downloader vs the Ad-Heavy Sites
Search “pinterest video downloader” and you get a wall of near-identical sites that fetch your pin on their server and log the URL you pasted. The difference here is less about features and more about what happens once the video is in your account.

- vs KlickPin: KlickPin is free and pulls whole boards at up to 50 pins per request, at HD, 2K, or 4K when Pinterest provides those source files. ScreenApp handles one pin at a time but adds the transcript and AI chat that KlickPin doesn’t offer.
- vs LinkGrab: LinkGrab is free with no login, but caps out at 720p (Pinterest's CDN caps video at that quality) even when Pinterest serves a sharper file. ScreenApp keeps the video at up to 4K, matching the source resolution instead.
- vs PintSave: PintSave is free for a single pin link and Does not add or remove a watermark, the same as ScreenApp. It doesn’t support boards or profiles (No, one pin per link), and it has no transcript or summary step.
The honest pitch: importing the pin is free either way. ScreenApp is the pick when you also want the transcript or a summary of what’s in the video, not just the file.
Who Uses It
People saving recipe and DIY videos to follow offline, away from a phone that keeps locking. Creators pulling their own pins back out to repost on Reels or TikTok. Marketers archiving competitor video pins for a swipe file before they get taken down. Anyone who found the one good tutorial and does not want to lose it in the Pinterest feed.
