How to Copy the Correct Pinterest Pin Link for Downloading
If you are continuously trying to download Pinterest Pins using the Pinterest Downloader and nothing happens? This is not about the bad tool’s performance but about links.
The Pinterest Video Downloader works smoothly when you provide a correct direct URL. If you copy an incorrect or invalid link, such as a profile link, shortened redirect, etc, the Pinterest Downloader may not be able to find the content.
What is a valid Pinterest Pin link?
The correct link is a specific direct pin link; when clicked, it opens the exact post containing Pinterest content. The Pinterest original link looks like:
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/
Or
https://pinterest.it/abc123
Pinterest.it links are shortened Pinterest links that usually redirect to the original pins and work with the Pinterest Downloader tool, provided the link is publicly available.
What is a valid Pinterest Pin link?
The pins that never work with the tool are:
- A Pinterest Board
- A Profile Page
- A Search Result Page
- Your Home Feed
- A direct image URL instead of the Pinterest pin URL
