Opening PinBoard for the First Time

PinBoard isn't code-signed yet, so your OS will show a security warning on first launch. This is normal for independent apps, you only need to do this once.

Select your OS
1
Try to open PinBoard

Double-click PinBoard after installing. A warning will appear saying "PinBoard" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software (or similar). Click Done, don't move it to Trash.

macOS Gatekeeper warning, click Done
2
Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security

Open System Settings (Apple menu → System Settings). Go to Privacy & Security and scroll down to the Security section at the bottom. You'll see: "PinBoard" was blocked to protect your Mac.

macOS System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Open Anyway
3
Click "Open Anyway"

Click Open Anyway, then enter your admin password if prompted. PinBoard will launch, future opens work normally with no extra steps.

macOS confirmation dialog -> click Open Anyway
Older macOS: On macOS Sonoma (14) and earlier, you can right-click the app → click Open → then click Open again in the dialog. This shortcut was removed in macOS Sequoia (15).
1
Run the installer

Double-click the PinBoard Setup.exe. Windows Defender SmartScreen will show a blue warning: "Windows protected your PC", this appears because the app is new and doesn't have a reputation with Microsoft yet.

Windows SmartScreen warning -> click More info
2
Click "More info" → "Run anyway"

Click the More info link on the warning. A Run anyway button will appear, click it. The installer will proceed normally. You only need to do this once.

Windows SmartScreen, click Run anyway
Alternative: If you don't see "More info", right-click the .exe → Properties → check Unblock under Security at the bottom → click Apply, then run the installer again.
1
Download the AppImage

Download the .AppImage file (x64) from the releases page. You can save it anywhere you like, no installation needed.

2
Make it executable

Right-click the file → Properties → Permissions tab → check Allow executing file as program. Or open a terminal and run: chmod +x PinBoard-*.AppImage

3
Double-click to run

That's it, double-click the AppImage to launch PinBoard. No installer, no setup. Works on most distributions including Ubuntu, Fedora, and others.

Tip: Move the AppImage to a permanent folder (like ~/Applications) to keep things tidy. It runs from wherever you put it.

Downloading a Board

1
Paste the board URL

Copy the URL of any Pinterest board and paste it into PinBoard, or drag the link onto the window. Any format works, full URLs, short links, or just username/board-name.

https://pinterest.com/username/board-name/
2
Click "Load Board"

PinBoard will automatically find the board, load all pins, and show you a breakdown of images, GIFs, and videos.

3
Download

Pick a category (images, GIFs, or videos) and hit download, or click Everything (Pro) to save all of them at once. Everything gets saved to a folder on your computer. You can also download individual files one by one. Full walkthrough in the board download guide.

Private Boards Pro only

For your own private or secret boards, just sign in to Pinterest directly inside PinBoard. No copying cookies, no DevTools, just a normal login. More in the private boards guide.

1
Click "Sign in to Pinterest"

A real Pinterest login page opens inside the app. Sign in with your email and password as you normally would, 2FA and captcha work too.

2
Paste your private board URL

Once signed in, paste any private board URL and click Load Board. PinBoard will use your session to access it.

3
Download as usual

Everything works the same, pick a category, hit download. Your session stays active so you don't need to sign in again until it expires.

PinBoard runs entirely on your machine. There are no analytics, no tracking, no data collection. Your files and session data never leave your computer. The only external request is a one-time license check (if you have Pro) which pings LemonSqueezy, not us.
Images (JPG, PNG), GIFs, and videos (saved as MP4), from whole boards or single board sections. Everything is downloaded at the highest resolution Pinterest has available. The free tier covers images only; Pro unlocks GIFs, videos and private boards.
Yes, PinBoard is safe. The warning appears because the app isn't code-signed yet, this is standard for independent apps. On macOS: click Done on the warning, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → click Open Anyway. On Windows: click More info → Run anyway. On Linux: you just need to mark the AppImage as executable (see the first launch guide). You only need to do this once.

PinBoard works on macOS 13 Ventura or newer (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 10 and 11 (x64), and Linux (x64). The Linux version runs as an AppImage, a single portable file that works on most distributions. Setup guides: Mac, Windows, Linux.
Pinterest sessions expire periodically. If you get errors accessing private boards, just click "Sign in to Pinterest" again in the app. It takes a few seconds.
No. Download a board into the same folder again and PinBoard only saves the pins you don't have yet, so keeping a backup up to date takes seconds.
Pinterest's pin count for a board still includes pins that were deleted or hidden, but Pinterest doesn't hand those out to anyone anymore. PinBoard downloads every pin that's still available and tells you how many are missing.
Pinterest limits how quickly big boards can load. When that happens, PinBoard waits and carries on by itself. If a board still stops early, open Settings in the app, set Speed to Slow, and load the board again.
No. PinBoard is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Pinterest. Pinterest is a trademark of Pinterest, Inc.
