Sometimes, while using Pinterest, you may find the need to download images, videos, or GIFs for later use. But how can you download videos and GIFs from this image-based social media platform?

Pinterest is a social media platform and online search tool for images and videos. It allows users to discover, search, and save images, videos, and other content onto personal themed boards.

On Pinterest, users can create personal boards and store, organize images, videos, and other online materials into these boards. Images and videos on Pinterest are often tagged with keywords and categorized into specific topics.

Currently, Pinterest does not provide a direct function to download videos from their app or website. Despite being a platform for sharing images and videos, it does not allow users to download content from their website.

However, there are several methods you can use to download videos from Pinterest through third-party tools or websites. Some popular online websites and tools such as KeepVid, Downvids, or DotSave.app allow you to download videos from Pinterest by copying the video link and pasting it into their website or video download tool.

**Method 1:**
