PinGrab — Pinterest Downloader

A fast, free Pinterest image, video and GIF downloader built with Next.js 14, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS.

Features

• Download Pinterest images in HD (up to original resolution)
• Download Pinterest videos as MP4
• Supports GIFs and story/idea pins (multi-page)
• Works with both full URLs (pinterest.com/pin/...) and short links (pin.it/...)
• No login, no watermark, no rate limits (self-hosted)
• Streaming proxy download — forces "save as" instead of opening the image

Tech stack

• Next.js 14 (App Router) + React 18
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• lucide-react icons
• Pinterest extraction via public widget API + HTML fallback (no auth needed)

Getting started

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

Build for production

npm run build
npm start

Deploy

One-click deploy to Vercel (recommended) — Node runtime is required for the fetch/download routes.

Project structure

app/
  api/fetch/route.ts     # POST — extracts media from a Pinterest URL
  api/download/route.ts  # GET  — streams media as an attachment
  page.tsx               # Landing page
  layout.tsx
components/
  Downloader.tsx         # Main UI (input, preview, download buttons)
  Header.tsx, Footer.tsx
lib/
  pinterest.ts           # Scraper — widget API + HTML fallbacks

Notes

This project scrapes publicly available Pinterest pages. Pinterest's HTML structure can change — if extraction breaks, update the JSON script selectors in lib/pinterest.ts.
