What quality Pinterest actually serves
Pinterest mixes three media types under one pin format: static images, idea pin video, and reposted clips from other networks. The download you get depends on which of those the pin actually holds.
| Format | What to expect |
|---|---|
| MP4 up to 1080x1920 | Idea pins and video pins, vertical, typically under 20MB. |
| Original JPG or PNG | Image pins come back at the size the pinner uploaded, not the grid thumbnail. |
| MP3 audio | Only for video pins that carry a track. |
| Cover image | The first frame Pinterest shows in the feed. |

Why a Pinterest download sometimes fails
A secret board pin will not load
Secret boards are visible only to their collaborators, so the pin cannot be fetched without that session.
The pin returns an image when I expected a video
Plenty of pins that autoplay in the feed are animated covers over a static pin. If there is no video object, the image is the real media.
The video quality looks soft
Pinterest compresses reposted clips heavily. The soft copy is the only version stored on their side.
Pinterest Frequently asked questions
Do pin.it short links work?
Yes, the short link is followed to the real pin before anything is fetched.
Can I save idea pins?
Yes, each page of an idea pin appears as its own file in the results.
Are secret boards supported?
No. A secret board is private, so its pins cannot be opened from outside.
Can I download the image instead of the video?
Yes, image pins return the full size JPG or PNG rather than the thumbnail.
Is a Pinterest account needed?
No account, no extension, nothing to install.
Why did my link fail?
Usually the pin was deleted, or it belongs to a private board.
Can I download a whole board?
Not in one click. Copy the pin links you want and run them through the bulk downloader.
Does the pinner see that I saved it?
No. Saving does not register as a repin or any other notification.
