Frequently asked questions
How do I download a GIF from Pinterest?
Copy the link of the Pinterest pin containing the GIF, paste it into PinRip, and press download. PinRip extracts the original animated GIF file and saves it to your device.
Does the GIF stay animated after downloading?
Yes. PinRip downloads the original .gif file that Pinterest hosts — the animation loop, frame timing and quality are exactly as uploaded.
Is the Pinterest GIF downloader free?
Yes. Single pins — GIFs, videos and images — are always free with no login. Full boards (which can contain many GIFs) use your 3 free monthly board downloads.
Can I download GIFs from a whole board?
Yes. Paste the board link instead — PinRip scans every pin, and the bulk ZIP download includes all the animated GIFs on the board at original quality.
Why does my downloaded GIF sometimes open as a video?
Some Pinterest 'GIFs' are actually short looping MP4 videos. PinRip detects what the pin really hosts and gives you the true original file — MP4 when it's a video, GIF when it's a GIF.
