Yes — and it's easier than you think. If you've been manually saving Pinterest images one by one, this guide will change how you work with Pinterest forever.
The short answer
There are free tools that let you download Pinterest content without a paid subscription, watermarks, or even creating an account. The catch? True full-board bulk downloading requires a connected Pinterest account — and not every tool supports that yet.
Here's everything you need to know about your options in 2026.
Why people want to bulk download Pinterest boards
If you've spent hours building a Pinterest board — a mood board for a design project, a recipe collection, a travel inspiration folder — you already know the frustration. Pinterest doesn't have a native "download all" button. Every image has to be saved individually.
People bulk download Pinterest boards for a lot of reasons:
- Backing up boards before deleting a Pinterest account
- Saving mood boards for offline reference or client presentations
- Exporting content to use in Canva, Adobe, or design tools
- Archiving recipes, outfit ideas, or travel plans for offline use
- Content research for marketers and creators
Whatever your reason, you shouldn't have to spend 45 minutes clicking the same button over and over.
What "bulk download" actually means
Before diving in, it helps to understand the two types of bulk downloading:
- Board bulk download — downloads every pin from one board in one go. Needs a tool with Pinterest account connection.
- Batch manual download — downloads multiple individual pins quickly. Works with any good Pinterest downloader.
Most free tools today handle individual pin downloads extremely well — paste a link, get the image or video instantly. Full board-level bulk download (100+ pins in one click) typically requires the tool to connect to your Pinterest account.
The best free option: Pindown
Pindown is a free, no-signup Pinterest downloader that covers both use cases.
Right now, you can paste any individual pin URL and download the image or video in seconds. The tool works with:
- Standard pinterest.com pin links
- pin.it shortlinks
- Video pins (downloads as MP4)
- Idea pins (downloads the slides)
Coming soon: Pindown is actively building a full board bulk-download feature. Once you connect your Pinterest account, you'll be able to browse your boards inside Pindown and bulk-download everything in one go. No screen recording. No copying 200 links manually.
Want to be ready when it launches? Try Pindown free today — it already handles every single-pin download you throw at it, with zero friction.
How to download an entire Pinterest board right now
While the full board feature is in development, here's the fastest workflow to download multiple pins from a board today.
Method 1: Use Pindown for individual pins
This is the fastest method for downloading 10–30 images from a board.
- Step 1: Open the Pinterest board you want to save.
- Step 2: Click on a pin you want to download. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar (it'll look like
https://pinterest.com/pin/12345678). - Step 3: Go to pindown.online and paste the URL into the download box.
- Step 4: Hit Download. Pindown fetches the highest available resolution and shows you a preview.
- Step 5: Click Save to your device. The image or video lands in your downloads folder.
- Step 6: Repeat for each pin. The whole process takes about 10 seconds per pin.
Method 2: Use the pin.it shortlink
If you're on mobile, Pinterest makes it easy to grab shortlinks:
- Open the Pinterest app
- Tap the Share button on any pin
- Tap Copy Link — this gives you a pin.it/xxxxxxx shortlink
- Paste it into Pindown — it works exactly the same as a full URL
Method 3: Wait for board bulk download (coming soon)
Pindown's upcoming board download feature will let you:
- Connect your Pinterest account securely
- Browse all your boards inside the Pindown interface
- Select a board and download everything in one click
- Skip manual link copying entirely
This is the feature most people are waiting for, and it's in active development.
Things to watch out for with free Pinterest downloaders
Not all free tools are made equal. What to look for:
- No signup required
- No watermarks on downloads
- Original resolution images
- Support for video pins
- Private — doesn't store your links
What to avoid:
- Tools that ask for your Pinterest password
- Watermarked output files
- Compressed or low-quality downloads
- Image-only tools
- Tools with unclear data policies
Pindown checks all the boxes on the good list. It's completely free, requires no signup, adds no watermarks, and doesn't store the links you paste in — your downloads stay private.
Can I download an entire Pinterest board for free?
Yes, though full board bulk-download with a single click is a feature that typically requires a tool to connect to your Pinterest account. Pindown currently offers fast single-pin downloads and is building full board bulk-download. You can download multiple pins manually in about 10 seconds each.
Is it legal to download Pinterest images?
Downloading Pinterest content for personal, offline use is generally fine. The key rule is: only download content you have the right to use. Respect creators' copyrights — don't republish or sell downloaded content without permission. Pindown reminds users to only download content they have the right to use.
Do I need a Pinterest account to use a downloader?
No. Pindown works without any account — yours or Pinterest's. Just paste a public pin URL and download. The upcoming board bulk-download feature will require you to optionally connect your Pinterest account, but the core downloader never will.
What image formats does Pindown download?
Pindown downloads images in JPG or PNG (whichever the creator uploaded at highest resolution) and videos as MP4 files.
Does Pindown work on mobile?
Yes. Pindown works on phones, tablets, and desktops with the same simple one-tap flow.
Why is my pin not downloading?
Check that the link is a valid public pin URL (starting with pinterest.com/pin/ or a pin.it shortlink). Private pins and pins from private boards cannot be downloaded. If the link looks right, try refreshing and re-pasting.
The bottom line
There is a free tool to bulk download Pinterest boards — and the best one is getting even better. Pindown already handles fast, watermark-free downloads of any individual pin (images, videos, idea pins), and full board bulk-download is coming soon.
Stop downloading one pin at a time. Try Pindown free — no signup needed.
