How to Download All Images from a Pinterest Board in 2026
Stop saving Pinterest images one by one. Download every photo from a board as a single organized ZIP file — original quality, no watermarks, delivered by email.
You found a Pinterest board with exactly the images you need — a client's inspiration board, a curated moodboard someone built over years, a collection of textures and patterns for a project. The problem: right-clicking each image and saving it one by one would take hours, and you'd still miss all the videos and GIFs. Pinterest has no bulk export option. Most download tools miss pins, lose video files, or add watermarks. PinDownCloud downloads every single image, video, and GIF from a Pinterest board in one click — and delivers them as a numbered, organized ZIP file to your email.
The technical approach matters here. Unlike URL-paste tools that scrape Pinterest externally (and frequently miss pins or hit rate limits), PinDownCloud runs inside your browser session. It reads the board's pin data directly from Pinterest's systems, then triggers server-side downloading of each file from Pinterest's CDN. The result is a complete download — not 90% of the board, not 'most of the images', but every file the board contains, at original resolution. For boards with 100 images, the difference isn't obvious. For boards with 1,000+ images, it's the difference between a useful archive and a frustrating partial download.
How to download all photos from a Pinterest board
Three steps to go from Pinterest board to a ZIP file with every image inside.
- 1
Install the PinDownCloud Chrome extension
Open the Chrome Web Store and add PinDownCloud for free — it takes about 30 seconds. Once installed, the extension activates automatically whenever you visit a Pinterest board page. You'll see a download button appear at the top of any board. No account or sign-up required to install it. The extension works in Chrome, Edge, and Brave — any Chromium-based browser. It does not work in Firefox or Safari. If you're on Safari, switching to Chrome for this task is the simplest fix.

Open the board and start the download
Navigate to the Pinterest board you want to save — any public board, yours or someone else's. The PinDownCloud button appears at the top of the page. Click it and you'll see the exact number of pins detected. This count includes everything: images, videos, and GIFs. Hit Download Board and our servers start pulling every file immediately. Here's the key detail: you don't need to scroll the board first or wait for pins to load. PinDownCloud reads the board data directly from Pinterest's systems, so it captures all pins regardless of whether they've rendered on screen.

Get the ZIP file with every image inside
When processing is complete — usually 5–15 minutes for boards under 1,000 pins, longer for very large boards — you'll receive a download link by email. The ZIP file contains every image, video, and GIF from the board. Files are numbered sequentially (001.jpg, 002.jpg, 003.mp4, etc.) which preserves the board's original order and makes batch importing into any tool much cleaner. No duplicates, no broken files, no watermarks. Images are in their original format at original resolution.
What's inside your ZIP: file formats, naming, and organization
Understanding the file structure helps you work with the downloaded content efficiently. PinDownCloud names files sequentially starting from 001, which corresponds roughly to the top-to-bottom order of pins on the board. A typical Pinterest board's ZIP breaks down approximately like this: around 75–85% JPEG images (the majority of Pinterest content), 10–15% PNG images (usually graphics, illustrations, and infographics), and the remainder split between MP4 video files and animated GIFs. WebP format images (used for newer pins) are also included as WebP files.
The sequential numbering is intentional and useful. If you later want to import these images into Figma (which supports bulk file import), Adobe Bridge, or a digital asset management tool, numbered files are much easier to work with than random Pinterest image hashes. The numbering also means you can infer which section of the board a file came from — images 001–100 are roughly the top of the board, 101–200 the next section, and so on. For clients who share inspiration boards, this makes it easy to reference specific images: 'take a look at 045.jpg' rather than 'the one with the blue kitchen counter from that designer's board.'
One thing to know about video files in your ZIP: Pinterest video pins download as MP4 files and are included automatically with the rest of the board content. The resolution depends on what the original creator uploaded — Pinterest supports up to 1080p, but many creators upload at 720p or lower. The video filename follows the same sequential numbering (e.g., 047.mp4), and its position in the sequence reflects where it appeared in the board. If you need to know which files are videos before extracting, you can look at the file extensions in the ZIP preview before opening it.

Install Extension — It's FreeFrequently asked questions
- How many images can PinDownCloud download at once?
- There's no practical limit on pins per board. PinDownCloud has successfully processed boards with 10,000+ pins. Larger boards just take longer — a 10,000-pin board might take 60–90 minutes to process. But since everything runs on our servers, you don't need to wait: just close the tab after clicking download and come back when the email arrives. The email link is valid for 24 hours from when the ZIP is ready.
- What format are the downloaded images in?
- Images are saved in their original format — primarily JPEG and PNG, with WebP for some newer pins. Videos are saved as MP4. GIFs are saved as animated GIF files. Nothing gets converted or recompressed during download. The file you receive is exactly the file that Pinterest stores on their servers, at the same resolution and quality as when it was uploaded.
- Can I download images from someone else's Pinterest board?
- Yes, as long as the board is public. PinDownCloud works on any publicly accessible Pinterest board — whether it's yours or someone else's. Private and secret boards cannot be accessed. If you're trying to download a board that requires logging in to view, it won't be accessible to PinDownCloud either. Public boards are accessible to anyone without a Pinterest account, and those are the ones PinDownCloud can download.
- Does it download videos and GIFs too, or just images?
- Everything in the board gets downloaded — images, videos, and GIFs, all in the same ZIP file. Video pins come as MP4 files. GIF pins come as animated GIF files. There's no setting to exclude media types — PinDownCloud grabs every pin the board contains. If you only want images and not videos, you can simply delete the MP4 files from the extracted ZIP after downloading.
