How to Save Pinterest Images in Original Quality
Published August 16, 2026
A simple right-click on Pinterest often saves a compressed thumbnail rather than the original photo. Here's how to get the real thing.
Use a dedicated image downloader
Paste the pin link into our Pinterest Image Downloader, which looks for the largest rendition Pinterest exposes for that pin.
Save it properly on mobile
On Android, the file saves straight to your Downloads folder. On iPhone, press and hold the previewed image and choose Save Image.
