What you get: M4A (AAC), cut from the video
The sound is cut out of the pin's MP4 on your own device: the AAC samples are copied byte for byte into an .m4a file, with no re-encoding. In our tests a 9.5-second clip gave an 80 KB M4A and a 13-second clip 109 KB. If a video has no sound track, the tool says so instead of giving you a silent file.

Files (touch and hold › Open With to pick a player).
Keep it with your photos and media
Photos and videos you save from Safari appear in Photos › Recently Saved. A file downloaded as a file stays in Files; touch and hold it and choose Open With to pick the app that should open it.
Good to know on iPhone
If Safari is set to save to iCloud Drive, the file appears in iCloud Drive › Downloads instead of On My iPhone.
If the download does not show up on iPhone
- Check Files › Downloads first: Right after a download, tap the Downloads button next to Safari's search field to see the file.
- Make sure the pin is public. Private pins and secret boards cannot be read without logging in, and this tool never asks for your Pinterest password.
- Links expire after one hour. If a button stops working, paste the pin link again.
- A pin.it short link must be complete: copy it again from Share › Copy link.
