Are story pins the same as Idea Pins?
Pinterest unified the formats over time. Both are multi-slide pins, but public download tools typically receive only the cover media Pinterest exposes without login.

What is a Pinterest story pin?
Story pins (now usually surfaced as Idea Pins inside Pinterest's product) are multi-slide pins designed for storytelling, recipes, tutorials, before/after sequences, and short narratives.
PinSavePro returns the primary media Pinterest makes available to a signed-out visitor, typically one MP4 with quality options and/or one image. It does not merge slides into a single file.
For a single short video clip, use the Reels downloader. For a still image pin, use the image downloader.

Frequently asked questions
Are story pins still supported by Pinterest?+
