## ⚡ Which Pinterest Downloader Should You Use?

| Tool                     | Best for                                           | Install needed | Works on phone |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | -------------- |
| 🤖 **Telegram bot**      | **Phones** — and seeing a pin's hidden save counts | Telegram only  | ✅ Yes          |
| 🌐 **Web tool**          | One-off downloads, picking an exact resolution     | ❌ None         | ✅ Yes          |
| 🧩 **Browser extension** | Daily use, bulk downloads, whole boards            | 30 seconds     | ❌ No           |

> 📱 **On a phone, use the bot.** iOS and Android don't allow browser extensions, so a **Pinterest downloader bot** is the only route that works inside an app — and SortPin's also returns the save and repin counts Pinterest normally hides.
>
> 💻 **On a computer, use the extension.** It downloads straight from the pin without copying links.

***

## 🤖 Option 1: Pinterest Downloader Bot (Telegram)

A **Pinterest bot downloader** runs inside Telegram, so it works on any phone with no app install beyond Telegram itself.

1. Open [**@SortPin\_bot**](https://t.me/sortpin_bot) → tap **Start Bot**
2. Copy a pin link in the Pinterest app (**Share → Copy link**)
3. Send `/pin <link>` to the bot
4. Tap the media link it returns to save the file

The reply also contains the pin's **saves, repins, reactions, comments and shares** — numbers Pinterest hides from normal users and that no browser extension can show you on a phone.

## 📥 How to Use the Website Downloader — Step-by-Step

### Step 1 — Find a pin on Pinterest

Browse Pinterest and find the image, video, or story you want to download.

<figure><img src="https://2471944289-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1dyhQmzVZzoiyGruwgGi%2Fuploads%2FF1MXqRpBBZG1N1Ao3cZa%2FCleanShot%202024-08-22%20at%2009.59.17%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=3f50151f-9f45-43b1-a639-e4800a5d3702" alt="Explore all available videos, stories, and images on Pinterest"><figcaption><p>Explore Pinterest videos, stories, and images</p></figcaption></figure>

### Step 2 — Copy the pin link

Click the **share button** on the pin → **Copy link**.

### Step 3 — Paste into SortPin Downloader

Open the [**Pinterest Downloader page**](https://www.sortpin.com/pinterest-images-and-video-downloader), paste the link into **Pinterest URL or Short Link**, then click **Download**.

<figure><img src="https://2471944289-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1dyhQmzVZzoiyGruwgGi%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e7e4d5314dac701c78b7cd72357e935ba5faffca%2Fsortpin-web-downloader-1.png?alt=media" alt="Paste a Pinterest link into the SortPin web downloader"><figcaption><p>Both full <code>pinterest.com/pin/…</code> links and <code>pin.it</code> short links work</p></figcaption></figure>

> ⚠️ **A security check runs below the input box.** If you don't see it, an ad blocker is hiding it — pause the blocker on this page and refresh, or the download button won't respond.

### Step 4 — Pick the resolution you want

The tool returns **every size Pinterest holds for that pin**, each with its exact pixel dimensions and its own download button.

<figure><img src="https://2471944289-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1dyhQmzVZzoiyGruwgGi%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d8afc2f82d30fbb6a412f0fac10e2f1e507a1907%2Fsortpin-web-downloader-2.png?alt=media" alt="Choose from every available Pinterest image resolution"><figcaption><p>Each variant lists real dimensions — <code>orig</code> is the full-size original</p></figcaption></figure>

| Variant                      | Meaning                                                                  |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **orig**                     | The original upload — **choose this one** unless you need a smaller file |
| **736x**, **564x**, **474x** | Pinterest's standard display sizes                                       |
| **600×315**, **170x**        | Preview and thumbnail sizes                                              |

> 💡 **`orig` is not always the biggest number on screen.** Read the dimensions in brackets rather than the label — on some pins `736x` and `orig` are identical because the creator uploaded at that size.

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

### "The download isn't working"

* Refresh the page and try again
* Make sure the Pinterest URL is valid (starts with `pinterest.com/pin/` or `pin.it/`)
* Clear your browser cache: [How to Clear Cache](/faqs/how-to-clear-cache-to-speed-up-the-sortpin.com-extension.md)
* See: [If SortPin is not working despite being installed](/faqs/if-sortpin-is-not-working-despite-being-installed-what-should-i-do.md)

### "Video downloads as low quality"

The video quality you get matches the **original upload quality** by the pin creator. SortPin always serves the highest available resolution.

### "I can't download from a private board"

You must be logged into Pinterest and have access to the board. The extension downloads only what you can see.

## ❓ Pinterest Downloader FAQs

**Q: Is the Pinterest Save button a downloader?** A: No — Pinterest's own [Save button and browser extension](/pinterest-guides/pinterest-save-button.md) saves **into** Pinterest, not onto your device. The tools on this page do the opposite.

**Q: Is there a Pinterest downloader bot?** A: Yes — [@SortPin\_bot](https://t.me/sortpin_bot) runs inside Telegram. Send it `/pin <pin link>` and it returns the image or video, plus the pin's hidden save and repin counts. It's free and works on any phone.

**Q: What is the best Pinterest bot downloader?** A: For phones, a Telegram bot is the only practical option, because iOS and Android don't allow browser extensions. On a computer a browser extension is faster, since it downloads straight from the pin with no link copying.

**Q: How do I download a Pinterest video with a bot?** A: In the Pinterest app tap the video → **Share** → **Copy link**. Open [@SortPin\_bot](https://t.me/sortpin_bot) in Telegram, send `/pin <link>`, then tap the media link it replies with to save the file.

**Q: Do I need a Telegram account to use the Pinterest bot?** A: Yes, Telegram is the platform the bot runs on. If you'd rather not install it, use the [web downloader](https://www.sortpin.com/pinterest-images-and-video-downloader) in any phone browser instead.

**Q: Is the Pinterest downloader bot safe?** A: It only reads the public pin link you send it. It never asks for your Pinterest login, and it can't see your account or your boards.

**Q: How does the SortPin Pinterest downloader work?** A: SortPin fetches pin data from the URL you provide using Pinterest's public API, then displays all available media (image, video, story) for one-click download in original quality.

**Q: Is the Pinterest downloader really free?** A: Yes — 100% free. No hidden charges, no subscriptions, no signup required. Both the Chrome extension and website tool are forever free for basic downloads.

**Q: What types of Pinterest content can I download?** A: Images (JPG/PNG), videos (MP4), stories (MP4 + JPG frames), and carousel pins (multiple images). Essentially anything you can view on a public Pinterest pin.

**Q: Is it legal to download Pinterest content?** A: SortPin only provides the technical tool. You're responsible for respecting copyright. Download **only for personal use** or with permission from the original creator. Never re-upload or commercially use copyrighted content.

**Q: Can I bulk-download multiple pins at once?** A: The free website tool handles one pin at a time. For **bulk downloads**, use the Chrome extension — it supports batch downloading from boards and search results.

**Q: Does the downloader work on iPhone or Android?** A: Yes. The website works in any mobile browser. For the best mobile experience, try our [Telegram Bot integration](/features/telegram-bot-pinterest-images-video-and-story-downloader.md) — even faster.

**Q: Will Pinterest know I downloaded the pin?** A: No. Downloads happen on your device. Pinterest cannot see who downloaded a pin or how.

**Q: Do you store the content I download?** A: No. All downloads happen in real-time directly from Pinterest to your device. SortPin doesn't keep any logs or copies of downloaded files.

**Q: Why is my video downloading without sound?** A: Some Pinterest videos are uploaded as silent (animated GIFs converted to MP4). If the original has no audio, the downloaded file won't have audio either.

**Q: Can I download Pinterest videos with the original watermark removed?** A: SortPin downloads the original file as uploaded by the creator. Pinterest doesn't add watermarks, so files come exactly as the creator uploaded them.
