How to Download Multiple Pinterest Pins or Videos at Once (Batch Download Guide)
Pinterest has no official “select multiple and download” feature for Pins of any type, so the practical way to batch download is to line up the links you want first, then run each one through a downloader back to back – a rhythm that takes seconds per Pin once you have the list ready, rather than treating each one as a separate task.
Step 1: Collect the Links First
Before downloading anything, go through and copy every Pin link you want into one place – a notes app, a text file, or a messaging thread to yourself. Doing this collection pass separately from the actual downloading keeps you from losing your place partway through, especially if you are pulling Pins from a search results page or someone else’s board where they can be easy to lose track of.
Step 2: Separate Videos From Images
Video and image Pins need different tools. Sort your collected links (mentally or in your notes) into the two groups, then run the video links through our Pinterest video downloader and the image links through our Pinterest image downloader. Trying to use one tool for both types just produces failed downloads.
Step 3: Work Through the List
- Paste the first link into the appropriate downloader.
- Download and save the file, ideally into a folder you created for this batch.
- Repeat for each remaining link.
- Spot-check a few of the saved files at the end to confirm nothing downloaded corrupted or incomplete.
When an Entire Board Is Easier Than a Batch List
If most of what you want actually lives on one board rather than being scattered, downloading the whole board is faster than compiling individual links – see our full board download guide. Save the individual-link method described here for when you specifically want a curated selection pulled from multiple different boards or search results.
| Situation | Best Approach | Roughly How Long |
|---|---|---|
| Everything on one board | Whole-board download | One pass, regardless of Pin count |
| A curated list from multiple boards | Collect links, then download one by one | A few seconds per Pin |
| Just a handful of Pins (under 5) | Download each as you find it | No batching needed |
Avoiding Wasted Downloads
Before running a large batch, quickly click through and confirm each Pin still exists and is accessible – a deleted or made-private Pin will simply fail partway through your list, and it is faster to catch that upfront than to discover it mid-batch.
Keeping Track of What You’ve Already Downloaded
On a long batch it is easy to lose count of which links you’ve already processed, especially if you get interrupted partway through. Delete each link from your notes list as you finish it, or check it off, rather than trying to remember where you left off. This small habit matters more than it sounds like – re-downloading the same Pin twice wastes time, and skipping one by mistake means going back through the whole list again to find the gap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any official Pinterest feature for downloading multiple Pins at once?
No. Pinterest’s own apps and website only support downloading one Pin at a time, for both images and videos.
Can I mix video and image links in the same downloader?
No. Video Pins need a video downloader and image Pins need an image downloader – they are different tools and won’t process the other type.
Is batch downloading against Pinterest’s terms of service?
Normal personal downloading, even in a batch of several Pins, does not violate Pinterest’s terms. High-volume automated scraping with bots is a different, unrelated issue.
What’s the fastest way to download everything from one specific board?
Downloading the whole board directly is faster than collecting individual links – see our board download guide for the steps.
