Why can’t I save pictures from Pinterest?

In case the methods previously mentioned do not work and you cannot save Pinterest pictures, it is most likely a glitch. Restarting your PC or smartphone is likely to solve the problem.

If that doesn’t do the trick, here are other possible reasons why you cannot download the images, as well as what to do in case they apply to you:

• There isn’t enough free storage on your PC or smartphone – check whether you have any disk space available, and, if not, try to delete a few files from your device.
• There is a problem with your browser – delete your browser’s cache and cookies.
• The Pinterest website is down – wait until the website gets back online. You can check the Pinterest server’s status to be up to date with it.

Being able to save Pinterest images to your PC and smartphone allows you to save and share high-quality images that are otherwise not possible if you happen to take a screenshot of the image.
