Best Pinterest Board Downloader for Designers

The only honest comparison of Pinterest board downloader tools — tested on real boards with 500 to 5,000 pins.

Saving Pinterest images one by one is one of the most common time sinks for designers and creatives. A good Pinterest board downloader eliminates this entirely. But not all tools are equal — most only download single pins, add watermarks, or break on large boards. This guide covers what actually works.

How to choose and use a Pinterest board downloader

What to look for, what to avoid, and how to get started with the best option.

  1. 1

    What to look for in a Pinterest downloader

    A reliable Pinterest board downloader must: (1) download entire boards, not just single pins, (2) preserve original image quality with no watermarks, (3) handle boards with hundreds or thousands of pins, and (4) deliver files in an organized way — not a random pile of unnamed images.

  2. 2

    Why most tools fail on large boards

    Most browser-based Pinterest downloaders use client-side scraping, which means they run in your browser tab and break when the tab is closed or the connection drops. PinDownCloud processes boards on the server side — you start the download, close the tab, and receive a ZIP file by email when it is ready. No interruptions.

    How to download a full Pinterest board with PinDownCloud

    Install the free PinDownCloud Chrome extension. Go to any public Pinterest board and click the download button. Our servers process the board and email you a numbered ZIP file with every image and video. Boards with 1,000+ pins are handled reliably — no browser crashes, no missing images.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best free Pinterest board downloader?
PinDownCloud is the most reliable free option for downloading entire Pinterest boards. It processes boards server-side (so large boards never crash), delivers a numbered ZIP by email, and never adds watermarks.
Can I download a Pinterest board without the app?
Yes. PinDownCloud is a Chrome browser extension — no separate app to install. Add it to Chrome, visit any public Pinterest board, and click download.
Do Pinterest board downloaders add watermarks?
PinDownCloud never adds watermarks. Some other tools do — particularly free web-based scrapers that monetize by watermarking your downloads. Always check before using any tool.
Is it legal to download Pinterest boards?
Downloading images for personal, non-commercial use (inspiration, moodboards, offline reference) is generally accepted. For commercial use, always verify the copyright of individual images. PinDownCloud downloads images as-is — the same images you can already see on Pinterest.
