How to Download Pinterest Idea Pins (Story Pins) — Complete Guide

June 5, 2026 · SocialSave Hub · 2 min read

Pinterest Idea Pins (formerly Story Pins) are multi-slide content that can contain images, videos, text overlays, and music. Unlike regular pins, each slide is a separate piece of media. This guide explains how to download each slide from an Idea Pin.

What Are Pinterest Idea Pins?

Idea Pins are Pinterest's multi-page format — up to 20 slides per pin. Each slide can be:

  • A static image (JPG or PNG)
  • A short video clip (MP4)
  • A combination with text and sticker overlays

They are used primarily for recipes, tutorials, DIY projects, and travel guides where step-by-step content makes sense.

How to Download Pinterest Idea Pins

  1. Open Pinterest and find the Idea Pin you want to save.
  2. Tap the share icon and select Copy link.
  3. Go to socialsavehub.com/pinterest-downloader.
  4. Paste the URL and click Download.
  5. Each slide appears as a separate download: image slides as JPG, video slides as MP4.
  6. Download each slide individually.

What About Text Overlays on Slides?

Text overlays, stickers, and decorative elements added within the Pinterest editor are rendered into the slide image by Pinterest before storing on its CDN. When you download an Idea Pin slide, the text overlays are already baked into the image — you receive the complete visual as it appears in the app.

Can I Download the Background Music from Idea Pins?

Background music added to Idea Pins is licensed music from Pinterest's audio library. It is not downloadable as a separate audio file — the music is not embedded in the CDN video/image files. Only the visual content (images and video clips) can be downloaded.

How Many Slides Can Be Downloaded?

All available slides in an Idea Pin are extracted and presented for download. Pinterest supports up to 20 slides per Idea Pin — SocialSave Hub processes all of them at once.
