How to Download Pinterest Videos as MP4
Save any video pin from Pinterest as a standard MP4 file. Full quality, no watermarks, no online converters. PinBoard handles everything automatically on your computer.
Why Pinterest videos are hard to download
Pinterest doesn't give you a "Save Video" button. Internally, Pinterest uses HLS (HTTP Live Streaming), a streaming format that splits videos into tiny chunks. You can't just right-click and save them like a normal MP4. Browser extensions often fail because they can't reassemble the stream, and online "Pinterest video downloader" websites are slow, ad-heavy, and often don't work at all.
PinBoard solves this by running a proper video converter on your computer. It downloads the HLS stream directly from Pinterest's servers and converts it into a standard MP4 file using a bundled copy of ffmpeg, the same tool used by professional video editors. No quality loss, no watermarks, no file size limits.
How to download Pinterest videos (step by step)
The entire process takes about a minute.
Download PinBoard for your operating system (Mac, Windows, or Linux) and open it. It's a lightweight desktop app - no signup or account needed.
Go to the Pinterest board that contains the videos you want. Copy the URL from your browser and paste it into PinBoard. Any URL format works - full URLs, country subdomains, short links, or just username/board-name.
PinBoard scans the entire board and categorizes every pin into images, GIFs, and videos. You'll see exactly how many video pins were found before downloading anything.
Select the Videos tab and hit download. PinBoard converts each HLS video stream to MP4 automatically and saves them to a folder on your computer. You can also download individual videos one by one.
PinBoard vs online Pinterest video downloaders
There are dozens of "Pinterest video downloader" websites out there. Here's why PinBoard is different:
| Online tools | PinBoard | |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk download | One at a time | Entire board at once |
| Video quality | Often compressed | Full original quality |
| Ads & popups | Everywhere | None |
| Privacy | URLs sent to third-party servers | 100% local, no servers |
| Reliability | Frequently broken | Bundled converter, always works |
| Private board videos | No | Yes (Pro) |
Downloading videos from private boards
If the videos you want are on a private or secret Pinterest board, you'll need PinBoard Pro ($5 one-time). Just click "Sign in to Pinterest" inside the app, log in normally, then paste your private board URL. PinBoard uses your session to access the board and download videos as usual.
