Pinterest Downloader

Overview

You find the perfect reference image on Pinterest, right-click to save it, and end up with a tiny, compressed thumbnail that looks terrible when you zoom in. Pinterest deliberately downsizes images in your feed to save bandwidth, which means what you save is never what the original creator uploaded. This extension gets around that entirely. It pulls the full-resolution original for every pin, the actual high-quality image, not the crushed preview. Click the download button on any pin and you get the sharpest version available.

Building a mood board for a client or planning a project? Batch mode exports an entire Pinterest board into a single folder on your computer, organized by board name so you can find everything later. Idea pins that include video content download as MP4 files right alongside the static images. Pin descriptions and source URLs are preserved with your downloads so you can always trace an image back to where it came from.

Everything stays local. No data gets sent anywhere, no account info is stored, and there is nothing to install beyond the browser extension. Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera. Try 3 free downloads and see the quality difference for yourself.

FAQ

How do I download a pin from Pinterest?

Install the extension and navigate to any pin on Pinterest. A download button appears on the pin page — click it to save the image in its highest available resolution directly to your computer.

Can I download an entire Pinterest board at once?

Yes. Open any board and use the batch export option to queue all pins for download. Images are saved into a folder named after the board so your files stay organized by project or topic.

What about idea pins that contain video?

Idea pins with video content are detected automatically and downloaded as MP4 files. Static image slides within idea pins are saved as individual image files alongside any videos.

What image resolution will I get?

The extension requests the highest resolution variant available from Pinterest's image CDN. This is typically the original upload resolution, which is significantly larger and sharper than the compressed thumbnails shown in the Pinterest feed.

Does this save pin descriptions and source links?

Yes. Pin metadata including titles, descriptions, and original source URLs are preserved and can be used for file naming. This makes it easy to trace downloaded images back to their sources.

Which browsers are supported?

The extension works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Safari and mobile browsers are not currently supported.
