While our systems achieve an incredible 99.9% uptime and zero-fail validation, occasional link parsing errors do happen depending on how Pinterest reformats its platform links.
Common Error 1: Private Boards
If you are attempting to paste a link originating from a Secret or Private board, our servers fundamentally cannot see it. Your video link must be Public for our backend scrapers to fetch the MP4.
Common Error 2: Shortened URLs
Sometimes copying links from the mobile app generates a massively compressed short-URL (like pin.it/xxx). Usually, our system flawlessly parses these, but if one fails, open it in Chrome first, let it expand into the full massive URL, and paste that standard string into our downloader!
Are We Down?
If you suspect the entire platform is offline, simply refresh the homepage in 5 minutes! We heavily monitor API bottlenecks to ensure optimal video retrieval completely free of charge!
