Frequently Asked Questions

What format are downloaded Pinterest GIFs saved in?

Pinterest GIFs are saved in their original animated GIF format by default. PinSuite also offers an MP4 option for GIFs, which produces a smaller file size while preserving the animation. The GIF format maintains the looping animation exactly as it appears on Pinterest, while MP4 is better for sharing on platforms that do not support GIF files.

Does downloading preserve the animation quality?

Yes. PinSuite downloads the original animated file directly from Pinterest's servers at full quality. There is no re-encoding, frame reduction, or quality loss. The downloaded GIF contains every frame of animation at the same resolution and frame rate as the original upload. Colors, timing, and looping behavior are all preserved exactly.

Can I find and download all GIFs from a Pinterest board?

Yes. Pro scans the complete board, identifies GIFs separately from static images and videos, and exports the animated content in an organized ZIP. You can preview the board's pins and sections free before upgrading.

What is the difference between a GIF and a video on Pinterest?

On Pinterest, GIFs are short looping animations without audio, while videos are longer content that can include sound. Pinterest sometimes converts uploaded GIFs into short video files internally, but PinSuite detects the original format and downloads accordingly. Both types are handled automatically . you do not need to know the difference beforehand.

Can I download animated stickers from Pinterest?

Yes. Pinterest animated stickers are technically short GIF or video files, and PinSuite handles them the same way as any other animated content. Paste the sticker pin URL into PinSuite and the animated file will be downloaded in its original format. Stickers with transparent backgrounds are preserved as-is when the original file supports transparency.

Why Download Pinterest GIFs

GIFs are one of the most popular content types on Pinterest . from reaction animations and aesthetic loops to recipe previews and product demos. But saving a GIF from Pinterest is not as simple as right-clicking and saving an image. Pinterest often serves GIFs as video elements in the browser, which means a standard save gives you a static thumbnail instead of the animation. A dedicated Pinterest GIF downloader solves this problem.

Preserve the Full Animation

When you try to save a Pinterest GIF through your browser, you usually get a single static frame . not the animation. This is because Pinterest renders GIFs as video elements for performance reasons. PinSuite goes directly to the source file on Pinterest's servers and downloads the complete animated GIF with every frame, at the original resolution and frame rate. The looping behavior, color palette, and timing are all preserved exactly.

Choose Your Output Format

Not every platform handles GIF files well. Some social media platforms re-compress GIFs heavily, and messaging apps sometimes convert them to low-quality video. PinSuite gives you the option to download as either GIF or MP4:

GIF format . The original animated format, ideal for use in design tools, presentations, and websites.
MP4 format . Significantly smaller file size with identical visual quality, better for sharing via email or messaging apps.
Original resolution . Both formats maintain the full resolution of the source file.
Looping preserved . GIF files loop automatically, and MP4 files include looping metadata where supported.

Find Every GIF in a Board

Pinterest boards often contain a mix of static images, videos, and GIFs. If you want just the animated content, scrolling through hundreds of pins to identify which ones are GIFs is tedious. PinSuite scans an entire board automatically and tags each pin by type. Filter to see only GIFs, then download them all in a single batch. This is especially useful for designers and content creators building animation libraries.

Works on Any Device

PinSuite runs in your browser, with no desktop software to install. It works on Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and other devices with a modern browser. Copy a Pinterest URL on your phone, paste it into PinSuite, and download the animated GIF. Your PinSuite library is available when you sign in on another device.
