What you get: M4A (AAC), cut from the video
The sound is cut out of the pin's MP4 on your own device: the AAC samples are copied byte for byte into an .m4a file, with no re-encoding. In our tests a 9.5-second clip gave an 80 KB M4A and a 13-second clip 109 KB. If a video has no sound track, the tool says so instead of giving you a silent file.

Keep it with your photos and media
Safari removes an older copy when you download the same item again, so rename a file you want to keep twice.
Good to know in Safari
Safari on Mac clears the downloads list after one day by default; the file itself stays in the folder.
If the download does not show up in Safari
- Check Safari's download folder first: On Mac, click the downloads button near the top-right of the Safari window. Apple notes Safari clears items from this list after one day by default.
- Make sure the pin is public. Private pins and secret boards cannot be read without logging in, and this tool never asks for your Pinterest password.
- Links expire after one hour. If a button stops working, paste the pin link again.
- A pin.it short link must be complete: copy it again from Share › Copy link.
