About grabpins

grabpins does one thing: it takes a Pinterest pin link and gives you the file behind it — video, image or GIF — with a filename you will still recognise in a year.

Why it exists

Pinterest is built for finding things, not for keeping them. A pin is a pointer, and pointers break: the poster deletes it, the blog it linked to gets sold, or the twenty seconds of video that was the recipe simply goes away. Anything you actually rely on is safer as a file on your own device.

Most tools in this category make you choose a door before you start — video downloader here, image downloader there — even though a pin page carries its video, its image renditions and its preview in the same response. That split is a filing decision, not a technical one. Here there is one lookup, and it reports what the pin is really holding.

What it will not do

We would rather say this plainly than let you find out by trying:

• Secret boards. If a board is secret, the pin cannot be read from outside. No tool can change that.
• Whole boards or profiles. One pin at a time.
• Watermark removal. If a creator burned their name into the video, it stays.
• Making anything bigger than it was. The largest file offered is the largest file Pinterest stored. Be sceptical of any site claiming otherwise.

How the numbers on this site were arrived at

Every file size quoted across these pages — the 1.39 MB against 8.65 MB copies of the same clip, the 0.03 MB WebP that is somehow smaller than the 0.04 MB JPEG beside it — came from measuring real pins, not from an estimate or another article.

There are no download counters, no star ratings and no testimonials anywhere on this site, because there are no real numbers behind them yet. When there are, they will be the real ones.

On the people who made what you are saving

Saving a pin to use yourself is ordinary: a recipe to cook on Sunday, a pattern to sew, a room to show a builder. Re-uploading someone's video as your own is a different thing, and it is the reason creators dislike tools like this one.

The file belongs to whoever made it. Credit them, link them, and do not repost what you did not make.
