Understand multi-page Pinterest formats and save the public media detected on each collection page.

CHAPTER 01

What makes multi-page Pins different

Idea Pins and carousels can combine several images and videos in one post. Tutorials may depend on a specific order, so saving only the cover can leave out important steps. Public Pinterest pages expose different amounts of media depending on the format, region and current page design.

CHAPTER 02

Use the most specific share link

Open the Idea Pin, story or carousel itself and copy its Share link. Paste it into Nontuff. The results area lists the public media files detected on that page. If only a cover appears, Pinterest may not expose the remaining steps to visitors who are not signed in. Nontuff does not bypass that restriction.

CHAPTER 03

Save files in sequence

Download each detected item and keep the numbering in the generated filenames or place everything in one new folder. Before leaving Pinterest, note the visible order of the slides. For mixed media, a computer is often easier because it provides a clearer downloads list and file-renaming tools.

CHAPTER 04

HD and SD for collections

HD is useful when tutorial slides include small labels or close-up craft details. SD reduces storage when a carousel contains many reference images. Video sources may offer only one public rendition; when that happens, the HD and SD choices may point to the same best available file rather than manufacturing a lower-quality copy.

CHAPTER 05

Be mindful of context

A single slide can be misleading without its caption or adjacent steps. Save the Pin URL and description with the media, follow safety warnings in the original tutorial, and ask the creator before redistributing a complete series.
