How to Save Pinterest Pins Without an App

Method 1: Save Images from Pinterest Website (No Extension)

The simplest method works on any device with a web browser:

1. Open pinterest.com in your browser
2. Find the image you want to save
3. Click on the pin to open it in full view
4. Right-click the image and select "Save image as..."
5. Choose where to save it on your device

Limitation: This only works for the visible image. You can't download video pins this way, and you have to do it one pin at a time.

Method 2: Use a Chrome Extension (Best for Desktop)

For bulk downloads and video support, a Chrome extension is the best option. Pin Kit lets you:

• Download entire boards as ZIP or PDF with one click
• Save individual pins by hovering over them
• Download videos with audio in full HD quality
• Keep original quality for all images and videos

Install from the Chrome Web Store — it's free to start with a plan of 20 pin saves and 2 board downloads per month.

Method 3: Save on Mobile (Android/iPhone)

On mobile devices, you have a few options:

• Long-press method: Open Pinterest in your mobile browser, find an image, long-press it, and select "Download image".
• Pinterest's built-in save: Some pins have a "Download" button when you open them. This saves to your camera roll.
• Desktop sync: Use Pin Kit on your desktop, then transfer files to your phone via cloud storage or USB.

Downloading Pinterest Videos

Saving video pins is trickier than images. Pinterest doesn't provide a direct download button for videos. The most reliable method is using a Chrome extension like Pin Kit, which downloads the video as an MP4 file with audio preserved. Right-clicking on a video pin won't give you a download option.
