A free Pinterest GIF downloader that saves the GIF from any public pin as the real animated GIF, at its original size, frame for frame.
Paste the link to a public GIF pin. The animated GIF comes from Pinterest to your device at its original size.
Paste the pin's link
This free Pinterest GIF downloader saves the GIF from any public pin as the real animated GIF, at its original size.
Paste the pin's link and you get the GIF as the pinner uploaded it, with its size shown, ready to post or send.
The GIF comes from Pinterest to your device, through my site's relay, without being kept.
Here's what a Pinterest GIF downloader is, how to use it, and GIFs versus video pins.
What is a Pinterest GIF downloader?
A Pinterest GIF downloader is a tool that saves an animated GIF from a pin as a .gif file on your device.
Pinterest shows a GIF pin as a still image until you tap it. This one saves the original animated GIF, frame for frame.
How to download a GIF from Pinterest
Links from any Pinterest site (pinterest.com, pinterest.co.uk and the rest) and short pin.it links all work.
The original GIF
A GIF pin keeps the file the pinner uploaded, as its original. The tool saves that file, so the animation, its speed and its loop stay exactly as they were.
On a GIF pin I checked on September 26, 2026, the original was a 480 × 480 GIF of 694 KB.
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
 GIF | The animated GIF, as the pinner uploaded it |
| MP4 | For a video pin, use my Pinterest video downloader |
GIFs and video pins
Some pins that move are videos, not GIFs. A GIF pin saves here as a .gif. A video pin saves as an MP4 with my Pinterest video downloader, which keeps the sound.
Why a GIF won't download
- The pin is private, on a secret board, or it was removed.
- The pin is a video, not a GIF: use the video downloader.
- Pinterest didn't answer. Try again in a minute.
Downloading on iPhone and Android
On a phone, press Download and the GIF saves to your downloads: the Files app on an iPhone, the Downloads folder on Android.
On an iPhone, tap Share or save twice and pick Save Image to put it in Photos, where it plays as a GIF.
Your own GIFs, and someone else's
A GIF belongs to the person who made it. Save your own freely. Before you reuse someone else's, ask them, and credit them when you do.
Do more with it
Save still images with my Pinterest image downloader, or GIFs from posts on X with my Twitter GIF downloader.
