Why You Need a Pinterest Downloader

What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a social media site that helps you discover creative ideas. You can save the ideas you find on Pinterest boards. For this reason, Pinterest is an effective social bookmarking site.

In addition to being a social media site, Pinterest is a leading search engine along with Google and YouTube.

It’s true: Pinterest wants to be Google.

Search for whatever you need in the Pinterest search bar. If you accidentally spell your search query wrong, Pinterest will correct you.

You found the perfect image for a blog post on Pinterest. How do you bring the pin (a Pinterest image) into your device?

Simple! Use a downloader tool or method.

Many people benefit from a Pinterest downloader:

• Blogger
• Teacher
• Instagrammer
• Smartphone user
• Video marketer

You are a blogger. You found the perfect graphic for your blog on Pinterest.

You are a teacher. You found an image that helps you instruct and inspire. Most students are visual learners who learn by looking at images.

You are an Instagrammer. You need an Instagram color palette or an Instagram highlight cover. You found one on Pinterest.

You are a smartphone user. You want Wallpaper for phones.

You are a video marketer. You found an ideal video at Pinterest you want to download.

In these scenarios, whether you are the blogger, the teacher, the Instagrammer, the smartphone user, or the marketer, you need a downloader.

There are additional reasons you might need a Pinterest downloader:

You might need access to the images you find when you are off-line or not using the Pinterest platform. For instance, I wanted to view a Pinterest image but my Pinterest app wasn’t reinstalled.

Also, I cruise in the summer and the Internet is not available or it is available but costly. Furthermore, the Internet in my workplace is sluggish and I can’t always access the Internet on my phone.

Finally, there are disadvantages to taking screenshots. For instance, ethically, you should give image credit which is difficult when you capture a screenshot on your phone. When you use a Pinterest downloader, attribution comes in with the image or video.

Also, you might be capturing an image you don’t have permission to capture. You don’t have these ethical concerns when you use a Pinterest downloader.

This guide explains how to save images you find on Pinterest. A third-party tool is not necessary.

It gets better: You no longer have to take a screenshot.

This tutorial also contains instructions to download Pinterest images and videos on your desktop, iOS device, and Android. You also discover how to download individual images for multiple images from Pinterest.

A Pinterest downloader gives you a simple, free way to bring Pinterest images down into your electronic device to review in your leisure.

Let’s get started by discovering how to use a Pinterest downloader.

How to Use a Pinterest Photo Downloader

Instructions for using a Pinterest downloader for images are different from the instructions for using a Pinterest video downloader. Let’s start discovering how to download images using Pinterest downloader methods.

All these methods assume you have a photo or some kind of image you want to download from Pinterest. If you don’t, use the Pinterest search bar to find the perfect image.

Method 1: Download a Single Image from Pinterest on a Desktop

Image Credit

Use the Instagram search bar to search for the image you need.

When you find your image, click the 3 black dots in the lower right-hand corner.

Then click Download Image. The image will download immediately and you are free to edit and save.

On desktop, you can find the download in your Downloads Folder.

Note: Once you click the image, you will no longer be able to see the three dots. When that occurs, right-click and choose Save Image As. Choose the name and location to download the image. Also, you may not see the three dots even if you don’t click the image. In this case, the image is for sale and not downloadable.

It’s ethical to give source credit. When you hover over the image, you see an up arrow. Click it and choose Copy Link to get the source link in order to give attribution.

The information below gives specific instructions to download to your desktop computer, iOS, and Android.

Method 2: Download Multiple Pinterest Images on Desktop

Suppose you want to download many images from a Pinterest board. You can!

However, you need a special browser extension called Image Downloader. You can use this tool to download any image from the Internet not just on Pinterest.

Using the extension, download Pinterest. Go to the board you want to download the images from. Click on the image download or icon. You can select all the images from the board or individual images. The default checks all the images, so if you want to deselect an image, click the box with the checkmark in it. Click download.

You might get a warning message asking you about settings for the future. Answer the question.

Go to settings. Find “ask where to save each file before downloading.” Disable. Chrome will ask if you want to continue the download. Click Yes.

You can download an entire board of Pinterest images with the Pinterest downloader extension.

Method 3: Use a Pinterest Downloader on Mobile

You don’t need a third-party app to download Pinterest images to your mobile device.

Android:

Follow the instructions for iOS. To view your images, open the gallery app and click pins. Your download will be in the Pinned folder.

IOS:

Open Pinterest.

I like to make Instagram stories using my brand colors. Unfortunately, Instagram doesn’t have my brand color, navy, on its story palette.

Trying to use the Instagram color dropper to find navy is painstaking. Using a color palette would be easier.

When you find your image at Pinterest, click on it.

In the upper right-hand corner, you see 3 white dots. Click them.

Choose Download Image. You are given an option to copy a link to give source credit.

What if your download doesn’t start?

Open your phone settings and tap Privacy. Find “Photos Pinterest” and click. On the screen that says Allow Photos Access, tap Read and Write. Repeat the steps to download your image.

How to Use a Pinterest Video Downloader

UPDATE May 2022

One important note before these Pinterest video downloader methods begin:

You cannot use these methods to download Pinterest videos and then upload them to YouTube. This is considered a copyright violation. If YouTube gets wise, you will get your account banned. Also, this can imperil your ability to monetize if you are trying to apply hours of views using Pinterest content in order to monetize on YouTube.

UPDATE January 2022

Are you ready to download Pinterest in MP4 format?

Pinterest to MP4 means you are downloading Pinterest files to your electronic device in a video format. In contrast, Pinterest to MP3 indicates you are only downloading music.

UPDATED INFORMATION November 2021

This post shares Pinterest downloader information for iOS and Android, but there are some Pinterest video downloaders that only work for one or the other.

The Clip Flick Video Downloader is an example. This video downloader only works on your Android device. Here you find more information about the Clip Flick Video Downloader and a download button.

UPDATED INFORMATION:

Many social media sites allow you to download videos. In fact, you can download videos from any site that hosts videos. For instance, you can download YouTube videos following these methods. This section solely deals with methods for using a Pinterest video downloader.

UPDATE September 2021

Deciding to create my own video, I used the Placeit video editor. The free account won’t allow me to download the video.

I put the URL into a video downloader. Wouldn’t a Pinterest video downloader work to download any video URL?

Or so I thought…

When I attempted to put Placeit’s video URL into the Pinterest video downloader, the error message told me to use a different URL.

One important note…

These tips are for videos downloaded from Pinterest, not Placeit or any other video editing site.

Pinterest doesn’t allow you to download videos, so you will need to use a third-party Pinterest video downloader.

Therefore, the instructions are different for a Pinterest video downloader than they are for a Pinterest photo downloader.

UPDATE: For instance, if you want to download videos from Instagram, you can’t use a Pinterest video downloader. Instead, you can use the AhaSave Instagram Downloader.

Here are free Pinterest video downloader third-party tools you can use to download Pinterest videos:

• Pinterest Video Downloader
• Experts Trick Pinterest Video Downloader
• Experts PHP Pinterest Video Downloader
• Experts Tool Download Pinterest Video
• Pinterest Video Downloader Online Bot Downloader
• The Down Video Pinterest Video Downloader
• iVideoMate Downloader
• ImgDownloader
• Save the Video

You now have eight free Pinterest video downloader tools.

Pinterest Video Downloader Tutorial

UPDATED INFORMATION November 2021

Here are instructions to download Pinterest videos using the third tool on the list, Experts PHP:

Go to https://www.expertsphp.com/pinterest-video-downloader.html. Paste the link where requested. Make sure the URL has “Pin” in it which shows you the link is for Pinterest videos.

Experts PHP also has a Twitter video downloader here.

Here are instructions to download Pinterest videos using the first tool on the list, Pinterest Video Downloader:

Although there are many tools you can use for your Pinterest video downloader, the following tutorial is for the Pinterest Video Downloader tool.

As you did in Method 1, use the Pinterest search bar to find the video you want to download.

Both still images and videos will populate. If you only want to see videos, you can filter. The dropdown defaults to “pins.” Click to see your other choices and choose “videos.”

When you find the video, click the video. Then click Copy Link.

Go to your web browser and search Pinterest video downloader. The tool is free.

Paste the Pinterest link where instructed. Click download. You will see a preview of the video.

Below the preview, you will have two choices. Download the video as an MP4 or download the image as a JPEG or PNG image file.

Click the Download Link button to download the video. This click is a long press. Choose Download Linked File. Click Download Icon to view the video. Wait for the download to finish. When the download is complete, you can save or open the video.

Click Share to save. The Share Button is the icon with the arrow pointing up. Click Save Video. You will find the video in your camera roll. Click to play.

If this is your first time using the Pinterest video downloader, you might be asked to give Pinterest permission to access your photo library.

I make sure to click the up arrow and click “Copy Link” so I can give the source of the video.

The Pinterest video downloader is not compatible with WordPress. If you want to put a video after you’ve downloaded it from Pinterest into your WordPress post, put it into a 3rd-party tool like YouTube first and then paste the custom HTML code into WordPress.

Here is a downloader tutorial.

UPDATE: May 2022

I also made a Pinterest video downloader tutorial.
