How to download Pinterest videos as MP4
Stillo is a browser tool: paste the link to a Pinterest video pin, check the title and thumbnail, then save it as MP4 or MP3. No installation or account is needed. Use it for your own videos or videos you have permission to save, up to 10 minutes long.
01Download in three steps
- Open the video on Pinterest and copy its URL from the address bar (in the app, use Share and copy the link). It looks like
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890123456789/:/pin/followed by a number. Country domains such asjp.pinterest.comalso work. - Paste it on the Stillo home page. The video title, length and thumbnail appear, so you can check it is the right video.
- Choose Best available, 1080p or 720p (or MP3 for audio only). Select “Start download”, keep the page open while the file is prepared, then save it from your browser.
02Which URLs work
Use the page of a single pin in the form pinterest.com/pin/number, on any country domain. These URLs do not work:
- Boards, profiles, search results and other listing pages
If you paste a URL that does not work, Stillo shows “Enter a video or reel URL from a supported site. Profile and listing pages are not supported.”
03pin.it short links
Short pin.it links from the app’s Share menu are converted to the original pin URL before checking. If a short link can’t be converted, Stillo shows “Couldn’t open the Pinterest short link. Enter the pin URL (pinterest.com/pin/…).” We have not yet tested saving through a real short link, so if it does not work, open the pin in your browser and copy the pinterest.com/pin/number URL.
04When a Pinterest video can’t be saved
- Image-only pins: there is no video to save. Enter the URL of a video pin.
- Deleted or private pins: Stillo may show “This video could not be found. It may have been deleted or made private, or the URL may be incorrect.”
- Pins that need a login: Stillo handles public pins that can be viewed without logging in.
- Videos longer than 10 minutes: the current limit is 10 minutes.
05Choosing the quality
Vertical video pins often have sizes such as 480×852 that do not match 720p or 1080p exactly. Choosing 720p or 1080p for such a video shows “The selected format is unavailable. Try another quality.” If unsure, choose Best available: the pin is saved at its original quality.
06What we measured
On October 5, 2026, a public video pin of about 58 seconds was saved as a 480×852 MP4 (about 7.6 MB), and its audio as an MP3 (about 0.2 MB). A second pin of about 15 seconds was saved as a 480×852 MP4 (about 1.8 MB); choosing 720p for that pin showed the “format is unavailable” message, and Best available worked. The detailed results are on the test results page (Japanese).
07Quality and length
MP4 can be saved as Best available, 1080p or 720p. Best available saves the highest quality Stillo can retrieve from the original video on Pinterest (up to 1080p). 1080p and 720p work only when the video has a picture of exactly that height. If it does not, Stillo shows “The selected format is unavailable. Try another quality.” In that case, choose Best available. Stillo cannot make the picture sharper than the original. It handles single videos up to 10 minutes; playlists and series cannot be saved in one go.
08FAQ
Q. Why does 720p or 1080p fail?
A. The pin’s video does not have that exact height (for example, it is 480×852). Choose Best available to save it at its original quality.
Q. Can I save image-only pins?
A. No. Only video pins can be saved.
Q. What file format do I get?
A. MP4 for video, or MP3 if you choose audio only. The file name is based on the video title.
Q. Do I need an account?
A. No. Stillo is free to use.
Q. How many videos can I save at once?
A. One video is processed at a time. Add the next one after the current download finishes.
09Check the thumbnail before you save
After you paste a link, Stillo shows the video title, length and thumbnail before anything is downloaded. This helps you avoid a wrong URL or saving the wrong video.
