Pinterest Image Downloader
Save pictures and animated GIFs from public Pins in their original size. Free, with no login.
Pinterest Image Downloader features
Original size
We look for the full picture the creator uploaded, not the smaller feed preview.
GIFs stay animated
Animated GIF Pins save as real moving GIFs, plus a still JPG if you want one.
Right file type
You get JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, whatever the original picture is.
pin.it links work
Short pin.it links from the app and full pinterest.com/pin links both work.
No Pinterest login
Public Pins only. We never ask for your account.
Nothing kept
The picture passes through our server and is deleted right away.
Found a picture on Pinterest you want to keep? Paste the Pin's link above to save the image in its original size. If the Pin is an animated GIF, you get the real moving GIF.
How to download a Pinterest image
- Open the Pin. Tap the picture so it opens on its own page, not inside a board.
- Copy the link. Tap the share icon, then Copy link. Short pin.it links are fine.
- Paste and save. Paste it above and press Download. The picture option is highlighted. Press Save.
Original size, not the feed preview
The pictures you see while scrolling are smaller copies that Pinterest makes to load quickly. They're often 736 pixels wide. The person who pinned it usually uploaded a bigger, sharper file.
SnapFrom looks for that original upload first. When it exists, the list shows Image · original size. If Pinterest doesn't keep an original, you'll see Image · large, which is the biggest version it shares.
In our test, a picture Pin came out as a 127 KB JPG. Photos with lots of detail make bigger files.
Animated GIF Pins
Some Pins are GIFs that move. Pinterest shows a still picture as the preview, so many tools only give you that one frame.
SnapFrom finds the real GIF instead. You'll see two options:
GIF · animated
The original moving GIF. In our test, a GIF Pin saved as a 2 MB file with 44 frames.
Image · still JPG
A single frame as a small picture, handy for a thumbnail or a quick reference.

Which file type will I get?
You get the picture in the format it was uploaded in:
- JPG for most photos.
- PNG for some graphics, drawings and screenshots.
- WebP occasionally, a modern format most phones and browsers open.
- GIF for animated Pins.
We don't convert or compress the picture, so it looks exactly like the original.
Which Pins work?
- Public picture Pins and GIF Pins.
- Links like
pinterest.com/pin/…andpin.it/…. - Not boards or profiles. Open one Pin and copy its link.
- Not Pins on secret boards, which are private.
If the Pin is a video, you'll get the video sizes instead. The Pinterest video downloader explains those.
Where does the picture go?
- iPhone and iPad: the Files app, under Downloads. Open it, tap Share, then Save Image to add it to Photos.
- Android: the Download folder. It shows up in your gallery shortly after.
- Computer: your downloads folder.
The file is named after the Pin's title when Pinterest shares one.
Using pictures fairly
Pins are often artwork, photos and designs made by real people. Saving one for a mood board or personal inspiration is common. Using it in your own products, ads or posts without permission may break copyright. Look for the original creator, and credit or ask them.
If something goes wrong
- "We couldn't find a video or picture": the link is a board, the Pin was removed, or it's private.
- "We couldn't download this picture": try again. If it keeps failing, Pinterest may have removed the image.
- Only a still picture for a GIF: paste the link again. If there's still no GIF option, the Pin isn't stored as a GIF.
- Save stopped working: Save buttons last 30 minutes. Paste the link again.
