What you get: the original animated .gif

GIF pins keep the original animated .gif. We checked: Pinterest serves no MP4 copy of a GIF pin, so the download is the .gif itself, which can be large (a 128×128 animation in our test was 1.49 MB). A still JPG of the first frame is offered too.

Which app opens it on Samsung Galaxy?

The Gallery app or My Files.

Keep it with your photos and media

My Files lets you view images, videos and audio and move them between storage locations; the Gallery app is Samsung's viewer for pictures and videos.

Good to know on Samsung Galaxy

Samsung's pages describe My Files and Gallery; they do not name the folder Samsung Internet uses, so check My Files › Downloads first.

If the download does not show up on Samsung Galaxy

  • Check My Files › Downloads first: Open My Files › Downloads. If you used Chrome, More › Downloads in Chrome lists the file too.
  • 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.
