Pasted a link and got nothing back? A Pinterest downloader can fail for a few common reasons. Here are eight fixes to get your download working.
1. The link is not a single public pin
Board, profile and search links do not point to one media file. Open the specific pin and copy that link.
2. The pin is private or deleted
Private, login-only, restricted or removed pins cannot be accessed by any tool.
3. You copied the wrong URL
Use Share then Copy Link, or the browser address bar, so you get a clean pinterest.com or pin.it link.
4. The pin has no downloadable media
Some text or link pins simply do not contain a video or image file.
5. Slow or dropped connection
A weak mobile signal can interrupt the fetch. Try again on a stable connection.
6. Pinterest changed something
Platforms update often, which can briefly affect any downloader until it is updated.
7. Browser blocking the download
Check that your browser is not blocking pop-ups or downloads for the site.
8. Try a fresh link
Re-copy the link and paste it again into our Pinterest video downloader. Most issues are solved by using a clean public pin link.
