The Pinterest Video Downloader saves Pinterest videos and Idea Pins from a pin link in HD. You paste the link and download the clip, which opens in the VidMints studio to remix, edit or caption. Pinterest video — especially Idea Pins, the platform's short vertical format — is a rich source of DIY, recipe, fashion and how-to content, and this is the route to keeping a pin you have the right to reuse.
Pinterest offers no straightforward download for its video, and Idea Pins are already vertical, which makes them convenient to repurpose to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. This tool handles both standard video pins and Idea Pins, retrieving them cleanly without an app or extension.
The saved file lands one click from the editor, so you can trim, caption or remix it and cross-post. It runs in the browser and, like all downloading, is for content you own or have permission to use.
Why use Pinterest Video Downloader?
Pinterest is a discovery engine for visual, how-to content, and its video pins are often exactly the kind of short, useful clips that perform on other vertical feeds. A downloader lets you save your own pins (or permitted ones) and take them beyond Pinterest, where re-recording would degrade the quality.
Idea Pins being natively vertical is a bonus: they need little reframing to work as a Reel or Short. Pulling one into VidMints to add your own captions and edits turns a Pinterest format into ready cross-platform content in minutes.

Pro tips
- Only download content you own or have permission to use, and respect Pinterest's terms.
- Idea Pins are already 9:16 — check framing but expect little reframing needed for a vertical feed.
- Recaption in your own style when cross-posting so the clip feels native to the destination.
- Make sure the pin is public; private boards cannot be fetched.
- Add your own edit or hook rather than posting a lifted pin verbatim.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reposting others' pins as your own without permission.
- Trying to download from a private board, which will not resolve.
- Screen-recording an Idea Pin instead of downloading it, losing quality.
- Posting a pin unchanged rather than adding your own captions and edit.
How it compares
- Versus screen recording: a direct HD download is clean and full-resolution rather than a re-captured copy.
- Versus other Pinterest savers: VidMints follows the download with an editor for remixing and captioning.
- Versus the all-in-one downloader: this page focuses on Pinterest pins and Idea Pins specifically.
