About SnagPins: What It Does

Snagpins is a small web tool that turns a public Pinterest link into a file you can keep: a video pin as an MP4, an image pin at its largest stored size, an animated pin as the clip Pinterest serves. Paste the link, choose the version the pin actually holds, and download. There is no account, no app and no browser extension.

This site is run by the SnagPins project, an independent operation — not a company with a support desk or a registered office. No registration number, VAT number or team size is claimed here because none is invented. SnagPins is not affiliated with Pinterest and holds no Pinterest account of its own.

The page stays free: no account, no trial, no paid tier, and no download is held behind a payment or a countdown. There is nothing to upgrade, and the resolver is never put behind a paywall. If that model ever changes, this page and the terms will say so before you use the service.

What it does not do is as much a part of the product as what it does. It does not open secret boards or private pins, does not recover deleted posts, does not upscale a 720p file into a larger one, does not remove watermarks or logos, and does not resolve a whole board in one request. Idea pins are not supported yet, because Pinterest no longer exposes their pages in public data; the page says so instead of returning one frame and calling it a download.

If something breaks, write through the contact page with the pin link, what you expected, what happened, and your browser and device. Problems are read in order, and a detailed message is the fastest route to a fix. Copyright complaints go through the DMCA route rather than the general inbox, because that route has a legal process attached to it.

That is the whole promise: a working lookup for public pins, an honest message when one cannot be read, and no invented feature list to make the page look bigger.
