# Download Pinterest on iPad

{% hint style="success" %}
**Save Pinterest content on any iPad — completely free.** Since iPadOS doesn't support Chrome extensions (Apple restriction), use the SortPin Telegram Bot for fast, high-quality downloads. Works on all iPad models.
{% endhint %}

> 🎉 **Trusted by 40,000+ Pinterest users worldwide** — iPad users included.

## ⚠️ Why Chrome Extensions Don't Work on iPad

Chrome for iPad (like Chrome for iPhone) is built on **Apple's WebKit engine**, not Chromium. Apple restricts Chrome from supporting extensions on iOS/iPadOS.

**Result:** No SortPin Chrome extension on iPad — but our alternatives are just as fast.

## 🍎 iPad-Specific Tips

* 📸 **Photos app auto-sync** — enable iCloud Photos for Mac/iPhone sync
* 📁 **Files app** — save to specific folders (Documents / Pinterest)
* 🖥️ **Stage Manager** — use split view: Pinterest + Telegram side-by-side for faster workflow
* 🎨 **Apple Pencil** — after downloading, annotate images in Photos or Notes
* 🔗 **Universal Clipboard** — copy URL on iPhone → paste in Telegram on iPad instantly

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting on iPad

### "Save to Photos option missing"

Enable Telegram → **Settings → Privacy → Photos → Read and Write**.

### "Telegram Bot not responding"

Restart Telegram app → tap `/start` in bot chat.

### "URL not recognized"

Use **Share → Copy Link** from Pinterest app, not the URL bar in browser.

### "Downloaded video won't play"

iPad Photos should auto-play MP4. If not, open the file in Files app → Preview.

### "Bulk download not available"

Bulk downloads need desktop Chrome extension. Alternative: [download on Mac](/download-guides-by-device/download-pinterest-on-mac.md) → AirDrop to iPad.
