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.

Which app opens it on Mac?

QuickTime Player.

Keep it with your photos and media

Drag the file from Downloads to the folder you want in Finder; select it and press Space to preview it with Quick Look.

Good to know on Mac

Preview does not play animated GIFs; use Quick Look or a browser.

If the download does not show up on Mac

  • Check the Downloads folder first: Click Safari's downloads button near the top-right of the window; in Chrome, use the download icon next to the address bar.
  • 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.
