How to Download Pinterest GIFs? 3-Step Guide
Saving a GIF from Pinterest with PinClipper works the same whether you’re on your phone or a computer.
Copy the GIF Link
Open Pinterest and find the animated pin you want to save. Tap the Share icon (bottom-right on the mobile app, or below the pin on the website) and select Copy Link.
Paste the Link Into PinClipper
Head to PinClipper and paste the copied link into the input box at the top of the page. The tool checks the pin and loads a preview so you can confirm it’s an animated GIF before downloading.
Download the GIF
Click Download, and the file saves directly to your device in its original .gif format.
Supported GIF Quality & Format
PinClipper saves Pinterest GIFs in the same format the original creator uploaded, without any recompression that would make the animation choppier or lower quality.
- Original .gif format — fully compatible with phones, computers, messaging apps, and websites.
- Full animation preserved — no dropped frames or reduced frame rate during download.
- No watermark added — the file you get is exactly what Pinterest hosts.
- Works with looping and short-form animated pins, including reaction GIFs, design animations, and meme-style content.
Because GIF quality depends entirely on what was originally uploaded to Pinterest, PinClipper cannot improve resolution beyond the source file, but it does guarantee you’re getting the full, unaltered version.
Does PinClipper Work on Mobile and Desktop?
Yes. PinClipper runs entirely in your browser, so there’s nothing to install no matter what device you’re using.
- Android
- iPhone and iPad (iOS)
- Windows and Mac
Since everything happens through the browser, you can switch between your phone and computer without losing access to the tool.
What Else Can You Download From Pinterest?
You can download Pinterest Videos, Images beyond animated GIFs, so you’re not stuck juggling multiple sites depending on what you’re saving.
- Pinterest videos and short clips, including Idea Pins where a downloadable file is available.
- Pinterest images, saved at their original resolution rather than a compressed preview.
- Multi-page Idea Pins, downloaded page by page where Pinterest makes the media accessible.
Each tool works through the same simple paste-and-download process, so switching between formats doesn’t mean learning a new interface.
Is PinClipper Safe to Use?
PinClipper doesn’t ask for your Pinterest login, doesn’t require creating an account, and doesn’t install anything on your device. The tool reads the public pin link you provide and retrieves the GIF file Pinterest has already made available at that address.
GIF Rights & Responsible Use
Not every GIF on Pinterest was created by the person who pinned it. Many animated pins are reposted from original artists, meme creators, or design studios, and the fact that a GIF is publicly viewable doesn’t automatically mean it’s free to reuse however you like.
🔒 Access Limits
PinClipper only works with publicly available pins and cannot access private boards or login-restricted content. Downloading a GIF through our tool gives you a personal copy of publicly shared media; it does not transfer any rights to redistribute, sell, or claim that content as your own.
🌐 Network Delivery
PinClipper does not host or store any media on its own servers; every file is pulled directly from Pinterest’s public content delivery network (CDN) at the exact moment you request the download.
💡 Fair Use Practice: We recommend using downloaded GIFs strictly for personal use, such as offline viewing or private collections, unless you’ve separately confirmed permission from the original creator for anything beyond that.
📩 Rights Holders Notice: If you’re a rights holder and believe your content is being misused through our tool, you can reach out through our Contact Page and we’ll respond according to our takedown process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download a GIF from Pinterest?
Copy the pin’s link using the Share option on Pinterest, paste it into PinClipper’s download box, and click Download. The animated GIF saves directly to your device in its original format.
Will the downloaded GIF still animate properly?
Yes, PinClipper preserves the full animation and frame rate from the original file, so the GIF plays exactly as it did on Pinterest.

Why is the GIF playing instead of downloading?

Not directly through this tool. PinClipper works pin by pin, so you’ll need to copy the link for each individual GIF you want to save.
Is it legal to download GIFs from Pinterest?
Downloading a publicly shared GIF for personal use is generally low-risk, but reusing it commercially or claiming authorship without permission from the original creator is a legal responsibility you take on yourself.
Does PinClipper store the GIFs I download?
No, PinClipper does not store, cache, or keep copies of any downloaded files. Every GIF is retrieved directly from Pinterest’s servers at the time of your request.
