Formats and quality

The downloader hands you Pinterest's own video files — nothing is re-encoded, re-compressed or watermarked.

  • MP4 files. Every download is a standard MP4 video that plays on any phone, tablet or computer.
  • Up to 720p. The page lists the quality the pin offers. Pinterest offers qualities up to 720p.
  • One list per pin. A pin with several videos shows a separate quality list for each clip, so every button saves the video it belongs to.
