Fix Pinterest downloads when the pin is not a video — image pins, Idea Pin segments, and URL checks on PasteGrab.
Overview
PasteGrab preview fails on Pinterest when the pin is a static image, a broken link, or a private board item. Only pins with video streams on the public page can download.
Idea Pins may bundle slides — confirm the pin plays video in a browser before pasting.
Copy pinterest.com/pin/ID from the pin page, not search results or board grids.
