Get All Pins from a Pinterest Board: Full Guide

Updated 5 November 2026 · Standard formula, shown below

This guide shows you how to download or save every pin from a Pinterest board, whether you want to back up your own boards or collect pins from a public board created by someone else. You’ll learn manual methods for a few pins, and reliable automated tools for boards with hundreds or thousands of pins. No special software is required for the manual approach, but the bulk methods use free browser extensions or third-party websites.

What You’ll Need

A Pinterest account (to access your own boards and most public boards).
A web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).
For bulk downloading: a free browser extension like “Pin Downloader” or a third-party website such as pinterestdownloader.com or savepin.com (these are examples; search for current options).
For the manual method: a folder on your computer to save images.

Step-by-Step

Method 1: Manual Saving (for a few pins)

Open Pinterest and navigate to the board you want to download. If it’s not your board, make sure it’s public (you can see it without logging in).
Scroll through the board to load all pins. Pinterest uses infinite scroll, so keep scrolling until you reach the end. You can also click on a pin to open it in a larger view.
For each pin you want to save, right-click on the image and select “Save image asâ€¦” (or “Download image” in some browsers). Choose a folder and save the file.
If the pin is a video, right-click on the video and select “Save video asâ€¦” if the browser supports it. Otherwise, use a screen recorder or a dedicated video downloader extension.
Repeat for every pin. This method is only practical for boards with fewer than 20 pins.

Method 2: Browser Extension (for bulk downloading)

Open your browser’s extension store (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, etc.).
Search for “Pinterest downloader” or “Pin downloader.” Choose an extension with good ratings and a recent update date. Some popular ones include “Pin Downloader” and “Pinterest Video Downloader.”
Click “Add to Chrome” (or equivalent) and confirm any permissions the extension asks for. Most need access to Pinterest sites.
Go to the Pinterest board you want to download. Ensure you’re logged in if it’s a secret board.
Click the extension’s icon in your browser toolbar. A popup should appear with options like “Download all pins” or “Download board.”
Select the board (if the extension asks) and choose a format (e.g., images only, videos, or both).
Click the download button. The extension will start fetching all pins. Depending on the board size, this may take a few minutes.
Once done, the extension will either download a ZIP file or start saving images individually. Check your browser’s download folder.

Method 3: Third-Party Website (no extension needed)

Open a web browser and go to a trusted Pinterest downloader website. Examples include pinterestdownloader.com, savepin.com, or pinterestvideodownloader.com (search for current options).
Copy the URL of the Pinterest board. You can get this from your browser’s address bar when viewing the board.
Paste the URL into the input field on the downloader website.
Click “Download” or “Get Pins.” The site will fetch the board’s pins.
You’ll see a list of pins with individual download buttons, or a “Download All” button. Click it to start downloading.
If the site offers a ZIP file, download it and extract it to get all images/videos.
Be cautious: some sites may have pop-up ads or require you to complete a captcha. Never provide personal information.

Method 4: Using Pinterest’s Built-in Export (for your own boards)

Log in to Pinterest and go to your profile.
Click on “Settings” (the gear icon).
Scroll down to the “Account management” section.
Click “Export data.” Pinterest will prepare a file with your account data, including your boards and pins (as links, not actual images).
You’ll receive an email with a link to download the data. This is a ZIP file containing CSV files with pin URLs, descriptions, and board info.
To get the actual images, you’ll need to use a bulk downloader with those URLs, or manually visit each link.

Common Mistakes

Not scrolling enough: On Pinterest, new pins load as you scroll. If you stop too early, you’ll miss pins. Use the “End” key or keep scrolling until you see the bottom.
Using a downloader that only gets visible pins: Some extensions only download pins currently loaded in the viewport. Ensure the extension says it downloads the entire board.
Ignoring video pins: Many boards contain videos. Standard image downloaders may skip them. Use a tool that supports videos.
Not checking for secret boards: If you’re trying to download a secret board that isn’t yours, you won’t be able to access it. Only public boards or your own secret boards work.
Downloading from a board that requires login: Some boards are public but may be marked as “sensitive” and require login. Log in first.

Tips

For large boards (500+ pins), use a dedicated downloader rather than manual savingâ€”it will save hours.
Check the file names: many downloaders name files with the pin ID or description, which helps organize them.
If you only need images, choose a downloader that can skip videos to save bandwidth.
Some downloaders allow you to filter by pin type (image, video, product). Use that to get exactly what you need.
If you’re downloading for backup, consider also exporting your Pinterest data (Method 4) to keep the pin metadata.

Troubleshooting

Extension doesn’t work: Try a different extension, or use a third-party website. Pinterest changes its layout often, so extensions may break temporarily.
Only a few pins download: Make sure you’ve scrolled to the bottom of the board to load all pins. Some extensions require you to scroll manually first.
Videos don’t download: Use a downloader specifically for Pinterest videos, or try a different website.
The downloader asks for payment: Many free tools have limits (e.g., 100 pins per day). Wait or use a different tool. Never pay for a tool unless you’re sure it’s legitimate.
You get a 404 error: The board may have been deleted or made private. Double-check the URL.
Images are low resolution: Pinterest stores multiple sizes. Some downloaders fetch the largest available. If not, try a different tool or manually open the pin and save the original.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to download pins from someone else’s board?

Downloading for personal use is generally acceptable, but redistributing or using images commercially may infringe copyright. Always credit the original creator if you share.

Can I download pins from a secret board that isn’t mine?

No. Secret boards are only visible to the owner and collaborators. You cannot access them without permission.

Do I need a Pinterest account to download pins?

For public boards, you can often use a downloader without logging in. However, some boards may require login to view all pins. For your own boards, you need to be logged in.

Will the download include the pin’s description and link?

Most downloaders only save the image/video file. To preserve descriptions and links, use Pinterest’s data export (Method 4) or a tool that saves metadata (some advanced downloaders do).

Can I download multiple boards at once?

Some extensions allow batch downloading of all your boards. Otherwise, you’ll need to repeat the process for each board.

What if a pin is a product with a price?

Product pins are still images. The downloader will save the image, but not the price or product link. You’d need to visit the pin manually for that info.
