Save animated Pinterest pins in one click. Pinterest serves them as MP4 - smaller, smoother, and playable everywhere.
We never store your downloads. Files come directly from Pinterest's CDN.
The PinSavePro GIF downloader saves any public Pinterest GIF directly from its pin URL. Pinterest stores most GIFs as short MP4 clips internally, so the file you download is usually a smooth, low-size MP4 that loops in any video viewer. No login, no app, and no re-hosting.
This page is for animated pins, pins that loop or play short motion. Behind the scenes, Pinterest converts most GIFs into MP4 video for performance, so the file you download is often an MP4 even though the pin is marketed as a GIF.
Use this page when the pin clearly animates. If the pin is a still photo, use the Pinterest image downloader. If it is a longer cinematic video, use the home tool or the Reels downloader.
Copy the animated pin's URL, paste it above, and tap Download. PinSavePro pulls the exact animated file Pinterest serves on its CDN, so nothing is re-encoded and no watermark is added. Works on iPhone, Android, and desktop in the browser, with no app or Pinterest login.
Most Pinterest GIFs are already stored as short MP4 clips, so the file you save is usually an MP4 that loops exactly like the pin. That is the smaller, smoother format for phone galleries. If you specifically need a .gif file, convert the saved MP4 with any free MP4-to-GIF converter.

Yes, and that's usually what you want. Pinterest stores almost all animated pins as short MP4 clips because MP4 is smaller, smoother, and supported by every modern phone gallery. The MP4 loops identically to a true GIF and is what PinSavePro returns.
Copy the pin link in the Pinterest app, paste it into pinsavepro.com in Safari, tap Download, then in the video player tap Share and Save Video. The animated MP4 appears in your Photos app and plays as a looping clip.
Pinterest replaced the .gif format with MP4 for most animated pins years ago because it streams better. If you specifically need .gif, take the MP4 we return and convert it with any free MP4-to-GIF converter.
To save GIFs from Pinterest, copy the animated pin's link, paste it on pinsavepro.com/gif-downloader, and tap Download. Pinterest serves most GIFs as MP4 internally, so you'll usually get a smooth MP4 that loops just like the original GIF, no login and no app required.
The steps are the same everywhere: copy the pin URL, paste it into pinsavepro.com/gif-downloader, and tap Download. On iPhone use Save Video from Safari's player; on Android and desktop the file lands in Downloads automatically.
Save animated pins only for personal use, when you own them, or with the creator's permission. PinSavePro is not affiliated with Pinterest, Inc.
Yes, as long as the pin is public and currently served by Pinterest.
Only if Pinterest still serves the original .gif. Otherwise you get the MP4 it uses internally.
Yes. Copy the GIF pin URL, paste it above, and PinSavePro grabs the animation directly, a straightforward GIF link downloader.
Pinterest stores animated 'GIF' pins as MP4, so PinSavePro saves them as MP4 (and .gif where available). It downloads existing animated pins; it does not convert a normal video into a new GIF.
Yes same frames, same loop. MP4 is just a more efficient container.
Yes. Files come directly from Pinterest's CDN. We never modify or re-host them.
