Common questions
Are downloaded files saved as true animated GIFs?
Yes. If the source pin was uploaded as an animated GIF, SMDownloader delivers the original .gif animation file.
Can I download GIFs from pin.it short links?
Yes. Shortened pin.it links are unshortened automatically to retrieve the original animated GIF source.
Why did my downloaded pin save as a static picture?
If the original creator uploaded a static JPEG or PNG rather than an animated file, the result will be a static image.
Can I use saved Pinterest GIFs in messaging apps?
Yes. Standard GIF files are universally supported across WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, Discord, and Slack.
