Pinterest Image Downloader: Save Photos in Original Size

Paste a Pin link to get the full-size picture, every carousel image or a profile photo.

A Pinterest image downloader should give you the picture as it was uploaded, not the small preview you see in your feed. That is what PinsVid does. Paste the link of any public Pin and you get the full-size photo, every image in a carousel, or a profile picture, in the highest resolution Pinterest has.

PinsVid is a free online Pinterest image downloader. It works in any browser and doesn't ask you to log in.

Pinterest Photo Download on Android, iPhone and PC

To download pics from Pinterest, the steps are the same everywhere: copy the Pin link, paste it in the box above, tap Download. Only the place where the image ends up changes.

On Android

Open the Pin in the Pinterest app, tap Share, then "Copy link". Paste it into PinsVid in Chrome and tap Download. The picture goes to your Download folder. Open the Files app and move it to Pictures or DCIM if you want it in your Gallery.

On iPhone and iPad

Copy the Pin link the same way, then open PinsVid in Safari. After you tap Download, the photo is saved in the Files app under Downloads. Open it, tap Share, then Save Image to add it to Photos (your camera roll).

Why Pinterest Pictures Look Blurry After You Save Them

Pinterest shows scaled-down copies of images in the feed so pages load fast. When you screenshot a Pin, or save the copy your phone is showing, you often get that smaller version. Zoom in and it turns soft or pixelated.

PinsVid works as an HD Pinterest picture downloader. It asks for the largest version Pinterest has for that Pin. In most cases, that is the original the creator uploaded. A standard Pin is 1000 ร— 1500 pixels, and many photos are uploaded much bigger, so the difference is easy to see on a laptop screen or in print.

There is one honest limit. If a creator uploaded a small image, the original is small, and no Pinterest image downloader can add detail that was never there. PinsVid never upscales or edits the file. The image keeps its original format and has no watermark added by us.

Profile photo

Download a Pinterest Profile Picture in Full Size

Want to keep a profile photo? A Pinterest DP download with PinsVid takes one link. Tapping the photo in the app shows only a small circle. Paste the profile link (pinterest.com/username) into the box on this page and you get only the profile picture, as a full image file instead of a cropped thumbnail.

If you want every board on that profile, not just the photo, use the Pinterest board downloader. It saves all the public boards and their pins at once.

Pinterest vs PinsVid

Why Use PinsVid Instead of Pinterest's Own Download?

Pinterest's help pages describe a "Download image" option in a Pin's menu. In real use, you can't count on it. When we checked the Pinterest app ourselves, the Pin had no download button at all. On Android, Pinterest has moved the option into the Share menu, and app reviews from August to October 2026 often say it is hidden, has moved again or simply doesn't work. Pinterest's own help page also says not every Pin can be downloaded.

That is why most people use a Pinterest image downloader instead:

The button is often missing. Some Pins never show it, and in some app versions it is buried in the Share menu.

No app or account needed. PinsVid works in any browser, without signing in to Pinterest.

Full size, not the preview. Pinterest loads smaller copies of images to keep the feed fast. PinsVid asks for the largest file Pinterest has.

Every carousel image at once. You don't have to save each slide one by one.

Profile pictures too. Pinterest has no option to download a profile photo.

Troubleshooting

Picture Not Saving? Check These First

  1. 1

    The link opens an error. Make sure you copied a single Pin link (pinterest.com/pin/...) or a pin.it share link. Search pages don't work.

  2. 2

    It's a video, not a photo. Video Pins need our Pinterest video downloader, which saves the MP4 with sound. For animated Pins, use the Pinterest GIF downloader.

  3. 3

    The Pin won't load at all. The Pin may be on a secret board or a private account. PinsVid only downloads public content, so private photos stay private.

  4. 4

    You can't find the file. On Android, check the Download folder in the Files app. On iPhone, check Files, then Downloads.

  5. 5

    The image looks small. That is the size the creator uploaded, so try to save a Pinterest image from a different Pin of the same photo.

Using Pinterest Images Fairly

Every photo on Pinterest belongs to the person who made it, even when it is easy to download. Keep saved images for personal use: a wallpaper on your phone, a mood board, a recipe card or a reference for your own drawing. Before you post, sell or print someone's work for others, get their permission and credit them.
