How to copy a Pin link Downloads not working?
Available downloads
No available short-video source was found for this Pin.
Save short vertical videos from Pinterest as MP4 files. Paste a public reel or Idea Pin link, pick an available quality, and download to your phone or computer. No Pinterest login required.
These clips are usually 9:16 fitness tips, quick recipes, fashion transitions, and creator shorts built for one-handed scrolling. Pinterest Video Downloader keeps the vertical framing Pinterest encoded. We do not stretch or fake-crop the file.
Pinterest renames features often (Reels, Idea Pins, full-screen shorts). If the pin plays as a short vertical video, try it here. For longer landscape tutorials, the homepage video downloader is the better starting point.

Why this tool
Built for phone workflows
Copy from the Pinterest app, paste in Safari or Chrome, and save to Photos or Gallery.
Works from the Reels viewer
The share sheet still gives a normal pin URL, even inside the immersive Reels player.
Audio when the source has it
Voiceovers and music stay in the MP4 when Pinterest included them in the file.
Honest quality caps
Short vertical clips often top out at 720p. That is a feed choice by Pinterest, not a missing button on our side.
Links to device guides
iPhone and Android walkthroughs help if this is your first mobile download.

How to download Pinterest Reels
-
Step 1
Open the reel and play it
Confirm it is video, not a static cover slide.
-
Step 2
Copy the pin link
Use Share, then Copy link from the Reels viewer or the pin page.
-
Step 3
Paste it on this page
Submit the link above and wait for the preview and quality list.
-
Step 4
Save the MP4
Download the file, then open it in Photos, Gallery, or a desktop player.
Save Pinterest Reels on your phone
-
1 . Copy while viewing full-screen
The share sheet exposes the pin URL whether you are in the Reels tab or the home feed.
-
2 . Use Safari or Chrome
In-app browsers inside other social apps sometimes block downloads. Open pinterestvideodownloader.net in your main browser.
-
3 . Allow Photos or Files access
The first save may ask for permission. After that, vertical MP4s should appear in your gallery.
Quality notes
- Mobile-first reels may never offer 1080p. Check the label before assuming HD.
- An Idea Pin with several still pages and one video page only gives you the media on the pin URL you pasted.
- Burned-in captions stay in the file. We do not remove on-screen text.
- If audio plays on Pinterest but not after download, compare against the source pin first.
Reels, Idea Pins, and short vertical video
Pinterest has used several names for short vertical video. Creators care about the publishing tools. Downloaders care about one question: does this public pin have a video file you can save?
If the answer is yes, Pinterest Video Downloader can usually resolve it as an MP4. The pin URL remains the stable identifier even when tab names change.
Vertical quality in the Pinterest feed
Feeds favor smaller files so clips start quickly on mobile data. A reel that looks sharp in-app may still be 720p or 540p on the CDN. That is common for short-form platforms.
If you are chasing “4K reels,” read the HD and 4K quality guide. Most short vertical pins were never uploaded in 4K.
When to use Reels vs the main video downloader
Use this Reels page when you want vertical-specific tips and a phone-first workflow. Use the homepage video downloader for general Pinterest video downloads, landscape tutorials, and longer clips.
Both pages use the same resolver. Either one can handle a public video pin.
Multi-page Idea Pins
Some Idea Pins mix still slides with one video page. Pasting that pin gives you the downloadable media Pinterest exposes for it, usually one video or a set of images, not an editable story project.
To archive every slide, open each page’s pin when available, or wait for board-level tools in the planned browser extension.
Reposting and ownership
Downloading your own reel to re-edit is a normal workflow. Downloading someone else’s reel to repost on TikTok or Instagram can violate copyright and platform rules.
Pinterest Video Downloader does not add or remove watermarks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Reels downloader different from the homepage video tool?
Same engine underneath. This page focuses on short vertical clips and mobile steps. The homepage covers general Pinterest video downloads.
Can I download from the Pinterest Reels tab?
Yes. Open the reel, copy its pin link, and paste it here.
Why is my reel download horizontal?
The creator may have uploaded landscape video shown inside a vertical player, or the stored file differs from the on-screen crop.
Do Idea Pins still work with this tool?
If the public pin includes downloadable video or images, yes. Names change; the pin file is what matters.
Can I download every slide from an Idea Pin at once?
Not as one package on the web. You get the media exposed for the pin URL you paste.
Why is there no sound on my reel download?
The source may be silent, or the audio only played in-stream. Compare with playback on Pinterest first.
What is the best way to save reels on iPhone?
Copy the link in the Pinterest app, open Safari, paste on Pinterest Video Downloader, then save to Photos. See the iPhone guide for detail.
Do private reels work?
No. Only public pins that open without logging in are supported.
