Pinterest Downloader for Mac
Bulk download images, GIFs, and videos from any Pinterest board on your Mac. PinBoard is a free native macOS app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. No browser extensions, no online converters.
Why use PinBoard on Mac?
If you've ever tried to save images from a Pinterest board on your Mac, you know the pain. Pinterest doesn't offer any bulk download feature - you're stuck right-clicking and saving one image at a time. Browser extensions are unreliable and often get blocked by Pinterest's updates. And online "Pinterest downloader" websites are ad-filled, slow, and can't handle videos.
PinBoard is a proper desktop app that runs natively on macOS. It runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) and has a separate build for Intel Macs, so it's fast on every Mac that runs macOS 13 or newer. Paste a board URL, hit download, and every pin lands in a folder in Finder. Images at full resolution, GIFs preserved as GIFs, and videos automatically converted to MP4.
What PinBoard downloads
PinBoard scans a Pinterest board and categorizes everything it finds. You can download all content at once or pick specific files individually.
Images are saved at the highest resolution Pinterest has available (the original upload quality). GIFs are preserved as animated GIF files - not converted to static images like some tools do. Videos are automatically converted from Pinterest's HLS streaming format to standard MP4 files using a built-in copy of ffmpeg, the same tool used by professional video editors. More on that in our Pinterest video guide.
How to install PinBoard on macOS
Go to the releases page and download the .dmg for your Mac:
arm64 for Apple Silicon or x64 for Intel.
Open the .dmg file and drag PinBoard to your Applications folder. You can then eject the disk image.
PinBoard isn't code-signed yet, so macOS Gatekeeper will block it the first time. When you see the warning, click Done (don't trash it). Then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway. You only need to do this once - after that, PinBoard opens normally.
Paste any Pinterest board URL (or drag the link from Safari onto the window), click Load Board, and download. PinBoard saves everything to a folder you can find right in Finder. For your secret boards, see downloading private boards.
Using PinBoard on Mac
Once installed, PinBoard works the same way every time. Copy a Pinterest board URL from Safari or Chrome, paste it into PinBoard, and click Load Board. The app fetches every pin on the board and shows you a count of images, GIFs, and videos. Pick a category and hit download - files appear in a neat folder organized by board name.
For private or secret boards, click "Sign in to Pinterest" inside PinBoard. A real Pinterest login page opens in the app - sign in normally (2FA and captcha both work). Your credentials go directly to Pinterest, PinBoard never sees them. Once signed in, paste your private board URL and download as usual.
FAQ
x64 .dmg instead of the arm64 one. Both builds need
macOS 13 Ventura or newer. On macOS 11 or 12, use PinBoard v1.2.0 from the releases page.
