How to Use the Pinterest Image Downloader
- 01
Copy the Image Pin
In Pinterest, open the picture, tap Share and choose Copy link.
- 02
Paste It Here
Paste the link above and press Download. Each image in the Pin gets its own card.
- 03
Save the Full-Size File
Check the pixel size on the card, then tap Download. For several pictures, use Download all.
Why This Pinterest Image Downloader Gives Sharper Pictures
Original upload
It asks for the original file Pinterest keeps, which is usually far larger than the image shown in the feed.
Format kept
JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG and WEBP stays WEBP, so nothing is recompressed.
Multi-image Pins
A Pin with several swipeable pictures shows a card for each one, numbered in order.
Size shown first
Each card lists width and height in pixels when Pinterest provides them.
A screenshot is not the real image
A screenshot captures your screen, with its own size, plus any icons or bars on top. Long-press saving in the app often gives a resized copy made for the feed.
The file here is the image the creator uploaded, at the size they uploaded it.
Good for wallpapers, prints and mood boards
Larger pixels mean you can crop, zoom or print without the picture breaking into blocks.
That matters for phone wallpapers, a mehndi design you want to show your artist, or a room idea you want to print and pin to the wall.
Pinterest Image Download: Getting the Original Picture
What the Pinterest image downloader saves
The Pinterest image downloader reads a public Pin and gives you the biggest copy of its picture that Pinterest stores, usually the original upload.
Pinterest serves several sizes of every image. The feed loads a narrow one so pages scroll fast on mobile data.
When you zoom on that copy you see the soft edges. This tool skips those and looks for the "originals" version first.
You see a card with a thumbnail, the file type (JPG, PNG or WEBP) and, when Pinterest lists it, the size such as 1200 × 1800. Tap Download and that exact file is saved.
The Reels Downloader is not connected to Pinterest in any way. Images on Pinterest belong to the people who made them.
Save them for your own personal use, or when you own them or have the creator's permission.
For the platform's own rules on sharing, privacy and copyright, see the Pinterest Help Centre.
What people save Pinterest images for
Pinterest is mostly a picture search engine, and the reasons for saving are very practical.
Show and tell
A blouse design for the tailor, a haircut for the salon, a rangoli pattern for Diwali. A clear image on your phone saves a lot of explaining.
Wallpapers
Tall phone wallpapers look bad when they are blown up from a small preview. The original keeps fine detail.
Study and work
Infographics, charts and handwritten notes become hard to read when shrunk. Full size keeps the small text legible.
Offline reference
Craft steps or drawing references are easier to follow from your gallery than from a scrolling feed with ads.
For Instagram pictures, the same idea applies with our Instagram photo downloader.
Download a Pinterest image on Android, iPhone or PC
The steps are almost the same everywhere. Only the last one, finding the file, changes.
- 1
Open the image Pin in the Pinterest app or website.
- 2
In the app, tap Share and then Copy link. On a computer, copy the pinterest.com/pin/ address from the top bar.
- 3
Come back here, paste the link and press Download. Wait for Reading… to finish.
- 4
When Ready to download appears, tap Download on the image card.
Android
The picture lands in the Download folder and appears in Gallery shortly after.
iPhone
Safari saves it to Files > Downloads. Open it, tap the share icon and choose Save Image to add it to Photos.
Computer
It goes to your normal Downloads folder. Right-click and choose Set as desktop background if it was a wallpaper.
Pins with more than one image
Some Pins hold a row of pictures you swipe through, like a product shown from four sides or a step-by-step craft.
The tool lists each picture as its own card: Photo 1, Photo 2 and so on. The summary at the top says how many items it found, for example "4 items" and "4 photos".
Download one
Tap Download on just the cards you want.
Download all
A Download all button appears above the cards when there is more than one file. It saves them one after another, about a second apart, so the browser does not block them as a burst.
Allow multiple downloads
Chrome may ask whether this page can download several files. Tap Allow, or only the first image will save.
Files are numbered in Pin order, with -1, -2, -3 at the end of the name, so they stay in sequence in your folder. For swipe posts on Instagram, try the carousel downloader.
JPG, PNG and WEBP: which file you get
The tool does not convert the picture. Whatever format the creator uploaded is what you receive.
JPG
The most common type for photos. Opens everywhere.
PNG
Used for graphics, logos and pictures with see-through backgrounds. Usually a bigger file than JPG.
WEBP
A newer, smaller format. Phones and modern browsers open it fine. Some older photo editors or print shop computers may not, so you might need to convert it before printing.
Converting
If a website or form only accepts JPG, open the WEBP or PNG in your phone gallery or any free converter and export a JPG copy. Keep the original too, since it has the best quality.
The card shows the format before you download. If a Pin turns out to be animated, the card says Animated GIF instead.
Our Pinterest GIF downloader page explains how those behave.
Fixes when an image Pin will not load
If no card appears, read the message under the box. These are the usual causes.
Copied a search or profile link
The tool needs a single Pin. Open the picture on its own before copying.
"We could not find that pin."
It has been deleted, or it lives on a secret board that only the owner can open.
Image comes from another website
Many Pins link to a blog. The tool saves the picture Pinterest holds, not other images on that blog.
No size on the card
For some multi-image Pins Pinterest does not list the original's size. The file is still the large version.
"Too many links from your connection."
Around 40 links an hour are allowed per connection. Take a break and try again later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still unsure? Email info@thereelsdownloader.com or visit Contact Us.
Is the Pinterest image downloader really full size?
It requests the largest copy Pinterest stores for that Pin, which is usually the original upload. That is often much larger than the image shown in the feed. If the creator uploaded a small picture, the original is small too, and the tool will not enlarge it.
Why is the downloaded picture sharper than my screenshot?
A screenshot only records your screen at its own resolution, and the feed image is a reduced copy to start with. The downloader fetches the source file, so fine lines, text and textures keep their detail when you zoom or crop.
Can I save every picture in a multi-image Pin?
Yes. Each picture gets its own card, numbered in order. Tap Download on the ones you want, or press Download all to save the set one by one. If Chrome asks to allow multiple downloads, tap Allow.
Why did I get a WEBP file instead of JPG?
The tool keeps the format the creator uploaded and does not convert it. WEBP opens on phones and modern browsers. If an older program cannot open it, use any free image converter or open it in your phone gallery and share it as JPG.
Does saving a Pinterest image notify the person who pinned it?
No. The tool does not log in, save, like or comment on anything. It only reads the public Pin. Pinterest does not receive a "save" from your account because no account is involved.
Can I download images from a whole board at once?
Yes, with a board link instead of a Pin link. The Pinterest board downloader page loads the first 50 Pins of a public board and lets you save them together. For one picture, a Pin link on this page is quicker.
Can I use downloaded Pinterest images on my website or shop?
Not without permission. Pinterest is full of other people's photos and artwork. Use downloads for personal reference, ideas and mood boards, and ask the creator before using an image in anything public or commercial.
Where are Pinterest images saved on iPhone?
Safari puts them in Files, inside the Downloads folder. Open the image there, tap the share icon and choose Save Image. After that it appears in the Photos app like any other picture.
