What makes this one different
Vertical Pins stay vertical
Video Pins are typically 9:16 or 2:3. You get the stored file with its aspect ratio untouched.
Crop for another platform in one hop
Pinterest's 2:3 frame does not fit Reels or Shorts. Our crop tool takes the downloaded file to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 without stretching it.

- Recovering a creative you published but no longer have locally.
- Reformatting your own Pin for another channel.
Limitations worth knowing
- Pins on secret boards require a login and are not accessible.

- Uploads are limited to 500 MB per file on the free tier.
- Results are deleted 30 minutes after they are ready, so download them right away.
Pinterest's aspect ratios and what to do with them
Pinterest favours tall creative: 2:3 for standard Pins and 9:16 for Idea Pins. Neither maps cleanly onto a 16:9 timeline or a 1:1 feed post.
Downloading and then centre-cropping preserves pixel density in the area that matters, whereas scaling a 2:3 file into 16:9 either stretches faces or leaves large empty bars.
Frequently asked questions
Do pin.it short links work?
Yes, they are expanded to the canonical Pin URL before fetching.
Can I download Idea Pins?
Public Idea Pin video pages work. Because an Idea Pin is a sequence, you download one page at a time.
Why is the resolution lower than expected?
Pinterest optimises video Pins heavily for mobile feeds. The stored rendition is the ceiling, and it is often below what you uploaded.
Is a Pinterest account needed?
No account and no browser extension.
