How to Download Pinterest Idea Pins & Story Pins
Idea Pins are Pinterest's story-style format, and a single one can hold several slides mixing video, images and text. That's what makes them awkward to save: the usual approach grabs the cover and nothing else. To keep an Idea Pin properly, you need each slide pulled out on its own.
Quick answer
Paste the Idea Pin's link into PinterestClick and press Download. Each slide comes back separately — videos and images — so you can save the whole story, not just the cover.

Open the downloaderGet every slide, not just the cover
Paste an Idea Pin link and each page is returned individually — the video clips and the still images alike. Instead of a single frame, you keep the whole sequence, which matters for tutorials, recipes and step-by-step posts where the later slides carry the useful part.
How to download an Idea Pin

Story Pins and Idea Pins are the same thing
Pinterest renamed Story Pins to Idea Pins a while ago, so if you've searched for a Story Pin downloader you're in the right place. The format and the steps are identical; only the name changed. Older links still resolve correctly.
A note on creators
Idea Pins are almost always someone's original work, often made to teach or promote something. Saving one for your own reference is fine; reposting a creator's Idea Pin as your own isn't. When in doubt, ask, and credit the person who made it.
