How to Download an Entire Pinterest Board (Free & Easy)

Pinterest boards are gold mines. Whether it's a meticulously curated home decor collection, a brand mood board, a recipe archive, or a design inspiration folder — losing access to one hurts. Boards get deleted, accounts go private, and Pinterest's own save feature doesn't actually put files on your device.

That's where a Pinterest board downloader comes in. This guide walks you through exactly how to bulk download every image and video from any public Pinterest board — in full resolution, no watermarks, completely free.

Why Download a Pinterest Board?

Before we get into the how, here's why so many people do it:

Content creators save reference boards for projects and client briefs without relying on Pinterest staying online.
Social media managers archive competitor boards and campaign inspiration for offline access.
Designers bulk-save visual mood boards locally for presentations and mockups.
Casual users want a personal backup of their favorite recipes, travel spots, or fashion collections.

The bottom line: if a board matters to you, having it on your device is smarter than hoping the link stays live.

What You Need Before You Start

Just two things:

The board URL — the public Pinterest board you want to download (e.g. https://pinterest.com/username/board-name/).
A browser — PinSnap works on any modern browser on any device. No app, no extension, no sign-up.

Note: PinSnap can only download public Pinterest boards. Private or secret boards are not accessible, in keeping with Pinterest's privacy settings.

How to Download a Pinterest Board with PinSnap

Here's the full step-by-step process:

Step 1 — Find the Board on Pinterest

Open Pinterest and navigate to the board you want to download. You can do this from:

A user's profile page
A direct Pinterest board link someone shared with you
Your own public boards

Make sure the board is set to public — private boards will return no results.

Step 2 — Copy the Board URL

In your browser's address bar, copy the full board URL. It should look like this:

https://www.pinterest.com/username/your-board-name/

On mobile, tap the Share button inside the Pinterest app and copy the link from there.

Step 3 — Go to PinSnap

Open a new tab and go to pinsnap.app. You'll see the main download input field front and center.

Step 4 — Paste the Board URL

Paste the board URL you copied directly into the search box on PinSnap. Double-check that the full URL is there, including the board name at the end.

Step 5 — Click Download

Hit the "Download" button. PinSnap will scan the board, extract all available media, and prepare your files. Depending on the board size, this usually takes just a few seconds.

Step 6 — Save Your Files

You'll be presented with all the downloadable content from the board — images (JPG/PNG) and videos (MP4) — in their original quality. Select all or choose individual files, then save them to your device.

That's it. No ZIP file limits, no watermarks, no account required.

What Gets Downloaded?

When you use PinSnap to download a Pinterest board, here's what you get:

Media Type	Format	Quality
Images	JPG / PNG	Full resolution
Videos	MP4	Up to 1080p/4K
GIFs	GIF	Original
Story Pins	MP4 / JPG	Original

All files are sourced directly from Pinterest's CDN, so you get the exact same quality as the original pin — no compression, no re-encoding.

Tips for the Best Results

Stick to public boards. If a board isn't loading, check whether it's been set to private by the creator.

Use the full board URL. Pasting a partial link or a profile URL (without the board name) won't work. Make sure your URL ends with the board slug, like /your-board-name/.

Large boards take a moment. Boards with hundreds of pins will take slightly longer to process — this is normal. PinSnap is scanning every pin individually.

Organize after downloading. If you're downloading multiple boards, rename your folders immediately after each batch so you don't lose track of what came from where.

Mobile users: On iOS, saved images go to your Photos app. On Android, check your Downloads folder or Gallery. Videos may require a file manager app to locate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download someone else's Pinterest board? Yes, as long as the board is public. PinSnap can download any publicly accessible Pinterest board regardless of who owns it.
