How to Download a Pinterest Board to Canva

The quickest way to bring your entire Pinterest inspiration board into Canva — images, videos, everything.

Canva is the go-to design tool for marketers, content creators, and entrepreneurs — and Pinterest is where most people collect their visual inspiration. The problem is that there is no direct Pinterest-to-Canva import. This guide shows you the fastest workaround.

How to move your Pinterest board to Canva

Three steps and you will have all your Pinterest images available in Canva's upload panel.

  1. 1

    Download your Pinterest board as a ZIP

    Install the PinDownCloud Chrome extension for free. Go to any public Pinterest board and click the download button that appears on the page. You will get an email with a ZIP file containing every image and video from the board — numbered and neatly organized.

  2. 2

    Upload the images to Canva

    Extract the ZIP file. In Canva, go to Uploads → Upload files and select all the images at once. Canva supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, and MP4 — all the formats Pinterest uses. Your images will appear in the Uploads panel within seconds.

  3. 3

    Use them in your Canva designs

    Click any uploaded image to add it to your canvas. Use them as mood board backgrounds, brand inspiration collages, or direct design assets. They stay in your Uploads folder for future projects too.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a direct Pinterest to Canva integration?
No — Canva does not have a native Pinterest import feature. The fastest solution is to download the board as a ZIP with PinDownCloud and upload the images to Canva's Uploads panel.
Does Canva accept Pinterest image formats?
Yes. Pinterest images are primarily JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Videos are MP4. All of these formats are accepted by Canva with no conversion needed.
Can I upload a whole folder to Canva at once?
Yes — in Canva's Uploads section, click Upload files and select multiple files at once (or the entire unzipped folder). There is no strict limit on batch uploads.
Will the Pinterest images keep their original quality in Canva?
Yes. PinDownCloud downloads images at their original resolution. Canva stores them as-is, so you always work with the full-quality Pinterest image.
