    Download on desktop, then send to mobile

    Install PinDownCloud on your desktop Chrome. Find the Pinterest video you want, click the download button, and save the MP4. Then use Google Drive, Dropbox, AirDrop (Mac to iPhone) or USB to transfer it. This method delivers the original HD quality, no watermark.
