How to Make a Moodboard from Pinterest in Figma

The fastest way to turn a Pinterest board into a Figma moodboard — no manual downloads, no cropped images.

Every designer has wasted an afternoon screenshotting Pinterest pins, cropping them, and dragging them one by one into Figma. There is a much faster way: download the entire board as a ZIP file and import everything at once. Here is how.

How to import a Pinterest board into Figma

Three steps to go from Pinterest board to Figma moodboard in minutes.

  1. 1

    Download your Pinterest board as a ZIP

    Install the free PinDownCloud Chrome extension, navigate to any public Pinterest board, and click the download button. You will receive a ZIP file with every image and video from the board, numbered and organized.

  2. 2

    Unzip and open Figma

    Extract the ZIP on your desktop. In Figma, create a new file and use File → Place Image (or drag and drop) to import the images. Figma accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF — all formats Pinterest uses.

  3. 3

    Arrange your moodboard

    Select all images and use Figma's auto-layout or tidy up feature to create a clean grid. Add text annotations, color palette swatches from the images, and share the frame with your team. Your moodboard is done.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import a Pinterest board directly into Figma?
Not directly — Figma does not have a native Pinterest integration. The fastest workaround is to download the board as a ZIP with PinDownCloud and then drag the images into Figma.
What image formats does Pinterest use?
Most Pinterest images are JPEG or PNG. Videos are MP4. All of these are fully supported by Figma, so nothing gets lost in the import.
How many images can I import into Figma at once?
Figma handles large batch imports well. Select all the images from your ZIP folder and drag them onto the canvas at once. For very large boards (1000+ images) we recommend importing in batches of 200.
Does PinDownCloud add watermarks to the images?
Never. PinDownCloud delivers every image exactly as it appears on Pinterest — original resolution, original quality, zero modifications.
