⭐ Original quality
Delivers the highest resolution Pinterest exposes, up to 1080p for video and full native quality for images and GIFs.
🎯 All four pin formats
Videos, images, GIFs and Idea Pins. The tool auto detects the format and delivers the native file.
🚫 Zero bloat
No watermarks, no injected ads, no re compression. Pure MP4, JPG, PNG or GIF, exactly as the creator uploaded.
File formats, resolution & audio
Exactly what you get for videos, images and GIFs, why, and what to do with each file.
Video pins to MP4 (H.264)
All Pinterest video pins are stored as MP4 with H.264 encoding, playable natively on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut and DaVinci Resolve with no conversion needed.
The 720p ceiling (and when 1080p appears)
Pinterest re encodes most videos to a 720p master. If the creator uploaded HD, LinkGrab surfaces a 1080p rendition whenever it is available as a selectable option.
Audio inside the MP4 with AAC
Audio is bundled in the MP4 container using the AAC codec. For audio only files, extract with LinkGrab.io. No installation required.
Images to JPG / PNG and real GIFs
Still images download as original JPG or PNG at Pinterest’s stored resolution. Animated GIFs stay as true GIF files, not converted to MP4 loops or stripped frames.
