Pinterest video Pins are often used for tutorials, recipes, inspiration, and product demonstrations. For a video you created or have permission to save, FbDown reads the public Pin URL and provides the available format and quality choices without requiring an extension.
How to download public Pinterest video Pins and Idea Pin videos
- Copy the complete video link. Open the individual video Pin, select the share control, and choose Copy link. Paste the full pinterest.com/pin address or a valid pin.it share link rather than a board, profile, or search page.
- Open the FbDown downloader. Follow the link above, paste the URL into the input, and select Analyze video.
- Choose a format and quality. Select MP4 for broad compatibility or WebM when preferred, then choose Best available or a listed resolution.
- Download the file. Select Download now and keep the browser open while the preparation and transfer progress finishes.
Choosing the best Pinterest video quality
The available resolution depends on the video file Pinterest serves for that Pin. Best available keeps the highest accessible version, while a lower listed resolution can create a smaller file for mobile storage.
Quality labels describe the height of the available video stream. A larger number can provide more detail, but it also creates a larger file and takes longer to download. For phones and everyday offline viewing, 720p is often a practical balance. Choose 1080p when it is offered and the extra detail matters.
Why might a Pinterest download fail?
Private boards, deleted Pins, image-only Pins, login-gated content, unsupported multi-page Idea Pins, and regional restrictions may prevent analysis. Confirm that the exact Pin opens publicly and contains a playable video.
Start by opening the link in a private browser window. If it cannot play without signing in, a public downloader cannot access it either. Also check that you copied the individual post rather than a profile, feed, channel, search result, or collection page.
Supported formats and devices
FbDown currently offers video downloads in MP4 and WebM. MP4 generally plays on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, macOS, smart TVs, and most editing applications. WebM is an efficient open format supported by modern browsers and many desktop players. The downloader runs in the browser, so there is no separate app or extension to install.
Download responsibly
Only download videos you created, public-domain media, or content you have explicit permission to save. A public link does not automatically grant permission to copy, republish, redistribute, or use a creator's work commercially. Respect copyright, privacy, the creator's wishes, and Pinterest's terms.
