How to Download Pinterest Images in Full Resolution
When you right-click and save an image from Pinterest, web browsers frequently save a downscaled 236px or 474px thumbnail instead of the creator original. Here is how to access the uncompressed master file stored on Pinterest image servers.

How Pinterest Stores Image Scales
Pinterest stores media across subdirectories on its primary CDN domain (i.pinimg.com). These folders indicate image widths:
/236x/: Grid preview thumbnail for mobile feeds./474x/: Medium desktop search preview./736x/: Standard expanded pin view in web browsers./originals/: The untouched master graphic file uploaded by the creator.
VidTwo traces the image identifier and redirects your download request to the /originals/ directory path, ensuring zero compression loss.
