Pinterest is not just for images anymore. The platform is packed with video content — recipe tutorials, DIY projects, workout routines, fashion inspiration, and home decor ideas. But Pinterest does not let you download these videos to your device.
This guide shows you how to download Pinterest videos for free using an online tool. No app needed. Works on every device.
What Are Pinterest Video Pins?
Video Pins are short videos uploaded to Pinterest boards. They autoplay in the feed and can range from a few seconds to several minutes. Popular video Pin categories include:
- Recipe tutorials — Step-by-step cooking instructions
- DIY crafts — Handmade projects and creative ideas
- Fitness routines — Workout demonstrations and exercises
- Fashion lookbooks — Outfit ideas and styling tips
- Home decor — Interior design ideas and room makeovers
- Beauty tutorials — Makeup and skincare routines

Pinterest Video Quality
Pinterest videos are typically available in:
- SD (480p) — Standard quality for older or lower-resolution uploads
- HD (720p) — Good quality for most video Pins
- Full HD (1080p) — Available for high-quality creator content
GripVid automatically selects the highest quality version available.
Download Pinterest Images vs Videos
Pinterest has both image Pins and video Pins. GripVid focuses on video downloads. For image Pins, you can usually right-click and "Save Image As" directly in your browser. For video Pins, you need a download tool since right-clicking does not offer a save option for videos.
Common Issues
Link not working
Make sure the Pin URL contains "pinterest.com/pin/" in it. Some shortened or app-generated links may need to be opened in a browser first to get the full URL.
Not a video Pin
If you get an error, make sure the Pin is actually a video, not a static image. Video Pins show a play button overlay when browsing Pinterest.
Private board content
Pins from private boards or secret boards cannot be downloaded. Only publicly visible Pins work.
Is It Legal?
Downloading publicly shared Pinterest videos for personal use is generally acceptable:
- Download public Pins only
- Use for personal reference and offline viewing
- Do not repost without crediting the creator
- Respect intellectual property rights
See our legal guide for details.
