What you get: one MP4 per video page, plus images
Pinterest's short videos are idea pins (the app's Reels-style feed). Their JSON lists only a streaming playlist; the tool finds the matching 720p MP4 and checks that it exists. Carousel pins with several slides give one download per slide, video or picture, up to 20.

Which app opens it on iPhone?
Files previews it; touch and hold › Open With to choose another app.
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.
