A vision board is one of the most powerful tools for staying focused on your goals. Pinterest makes it easy to collect images — and with PinDownCloud you can download the entire board at once and take it offline, print it, or import it into Canva or Figma for a polished design.

Arrange, print, or display digitally
Open the images in Canva or Figma and arrange them into a collage. Add your goals as text overlays. Then either print it as an A3 poster and hang it where you will see it every day, or set it as your desktop wallpaper or phone lock screen.

Install Extension — It's FreeFrequently asked questions
- Should my Pinterest vision board be public or private?
- Keep it public if you want to download it with PinDownCloud (the extension works with public boards). If you prefer privacy, make it secret — you can still view it on Pinterest, but downloading requires the board to be public during the download process.
- How many images should a vision board have?
- Between 20 and 50 images is ideal. Fewer than 20 feels sparse; more than 50 creates visual noise that dilutes the impact. Focus on quality over quantity.
- Can I print my Pinterest vision board?
- Yes. Download the board as a ZIP with PinDownCloud, import the images into Canva, arrange them in an A3 or A2 layout, and export as a high-resolution PDF. Most print shops can print it for a few euros. A printed vision board is more effective than a digital one because you see it every day.
- What is the best size for a vision board?
- For printing: A3 (420 x 297 mm) or A2 (594 x 420 mm) work well. For a desktop wallpaper: 1920x1080 or 2560x1440. Canva has free templates for all of these sizes.
