How to save a Pinterest video on PC — browser steps

  1. Copy the pin URL

    Open the pin on pinterest.com in your browser and copy the URL from the address bar — or use the pin's three-dot menu → Copy link.

  2. Paste into PinRip and download

    In a new tab, open pinrip.com, paste the URL into the downloader, and click Download Video. The browser saves the HD MP4 to your downloads folder — Ctrl+J (or Cmd+Option+L on Mac) shows it in the downloads list.

  3. File it and play it

    Drag the file into your media library, set it as a wallpaper loop, or open it in your editor — every player handles MP4 natively.

A browser tab is the only tool you need — Windows, Mac and Linux behave identically.
Step 1 copy Pinterest video pin URL from desktop browser address bar
Step 1 — the desktop address bar is the fastest copy-link route.
Step 2 paste Pinterest link into PinRip on a laptop browser
Step 2 — paste, and the downloader resolves the original MP4.
Step 3 downloaded Pinterest MP4 in the desktop downloads folder
Step 3 — the MP4 lands in Downloads, ready for any editor or player.

Your downloads folder & what happens next

Every browser saves to the same place by default: Downloads on Windows and Mac, ~/Downloads on Linux. The MP4 arrives with a pin-code filename — rename it immediately if you're building a library; future-you will thank present-you.

From there it behaves like any video you own: double-click plays it in the default player, drag-and-drop imports it into Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut or iMovie, and right-click → Set as desktop background works on Windows (with a tiny third-party helper for animated wallpapers on Mac).

Desktop downloads are also the archive-grade ones: drive straight to an external SSD, sync to your NAS, or fold the file into a board ZIP archive you keep in cold storage. A laptop is the best Pinterest vault you already own.

Bulk saving & the batch workflow

Saving a dozen videos one by one? Three habits turn it into a five-minute job:

  • Pin PinRip to the tab strip (right-click the tab → Pin) so it stays open beside Pinterest while you browse.
  • Copy → paste in a rhythm: middle-click each pin into a background tab, copy the URL, paste into PinRip, next. No app-switching at all.
  • Rename as you go — the downloads list (Ctrl+J) lets you click the filename and rename inline, which keeps your library sorted from minute one.

For anything bigger — an entire board of pins, dozens of videos — skip the rhythm entirely and paste the board link: the board downloader gathers every video, image and GIF into one organized ZIP. Three boards are free every month.

A Chrome extension for one-click saving on the pin page itself is on the roadmap (the app & extension comparison covers what to expect). Until then, the two-tab workflow is the fastest Pinterest Video Downloader path on desktop.

Windows, Mac & Linux: the small differences

The download flow is identical on all three platforms — the differences are just where files go and what plays them:

  • Windows 10/11: Media Player and Films & TV both open the MP4 natively; Photos can even trim it.
  • macOS: QuickTime plays it, iMovie imports it, and Finder tags are great for sorting a growing collection.
  • Linux: VLC, mpv and every desktop environment handle MP4 out of the box; the browser flow is the same in Firefox and Chromium.

If a download stalls on a corporate network, it's usually the proxy — retry from a personal hotspot, or check the not-working guide for the rare pin-side causes. Phone-side of the family: the iPhone and Android guides cover the same flow on mobile.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download a Pinterest video on my computer?

Copy the pin's URL from your browser's address bar, open pinrip.com, paste it in, and click Download Video. The HD MP4 saves straight to your downloads folder — no software install, no account, and it plays in any player you already have.

Do I need to install anything on Windows or Mac?

No. PinRip runs in the browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, anything. The MP4 the browser saves is a standard file that Windows Media Player and QuickTime open natively, so there is nothing to configure afterward either.

Where do downloaded Pinterest videos go on a PC?

Into your Downloads folder — the same place every browser download lands. From there you can rename the file, drag it into an editor like Premiere or CapCut, move it to an external drive, or fold it into a board ZIP archive.

Can I download many Pinterest videos at once on desktop?

Yes — pin PinRip in one tab and Pinterest in another, then copy-paste links in a rhythm. For entire boards, paste the board link instead and the board downloader collects every video, image and GIF into a single organized ZIP; 3 boards are free each month.

Is the desktop download HD and watermark-free?

Yes. PinRip saves the original upload — typically 720p or 1080p MP4 — with no watermark and no re-compression. On a large monitor you can verify it instantly: the saved file is as sharp as the pin was in the feed.
