Why use PinBoard on Windows?

Pinterest doesn't have a Windows desktop app, and its website doesn't offer any bulk download feature. If you want to save more than a few images from a board, you're stuck with browser extensions (which break frequently and often download low-quality thumbnails) or online "downloader" websites (which are slow, ad-heavy, and limited to one pin at a time).

PinBoard is a proper Windows desktop app that installs like any other program. It connects directly to Pinterest's servers, fetches every pin from a board at full resolution, and saves them to a folder on your PC. Images arrive as full-quality JPGs/PNGs, GIFs stay animated, and videos are automatically converted from Pinterest's streaming format to standard MP4 files.

How to install PinBoard on Windows

1
Download the installer

Go to the releases page and download the PinBoard Setup.exe file (x64).

2
Handle the SmartScreen warning

When you run the installer, Windows Defender SmartScreen will show a blue warning: "Windows protected your PC". This appears because PinBoard is a new app without an established reputation with Microsoft. Click More info, then click Run anyway. You only need to do this once.

3
Install and launch

The installer runs in seconds. PinBoard appears in your Start menu and desktop. Launch it and you're ready to start downloading Pinterest boards.

⚠️ SmartScreen alternative fix: If you don't see the "More info" option on the SmartScreen warning, right-click the .exe file → Properties → check Unblock under Security at the bottom → click Apply, then run the installer again.

How to download a Pinterest board on Windows

1
Copy a Pinterest board URL

Open any Pinterest board in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or any browser. Copy the URL from the address bar. Any format works - full URLs, country subdomains (de.pinterest.com), short links (pin.it/...), or just username/board-name.

2
Paste into PinBoard and click "Load Board"

Paste the URL into PinBoard's input field and click Load Board. The app scans the entire board and shows you a count of images, GIFs, and videos.

3
Download

Select a category (images, GIFs, or videos) and hit download. Everything gets saved to a folder on your PC. You can also click individual pins to download specific files.

💡 Tip: PinBoard remembers your last 20 boards. You can reload and re-download boards quickly without re-pasting the URL - useful for boards that get new pins added regularly.

Downloading from private boards on Windows

For private or secret boards, you'll need PinBoard Pro ($5 one-time). Click "Sign in to Pinterest" inside PinBoard - a real Pinterest login page opens in the app. Sign in normally (2FA works), then paste your private board URL and download as usual.

🔒 Privacy: Your Pinterest credentials go directly to Pinterest through their official login page. PinBoard never sees or stores your email or password. Only session cookies are kept locally on your PC.

FAQ

Yes. PinBoard works on both Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit editions. It installs like any standard Windows application.
No. PinBoard is a standalone desktop application - it runs independently from your browser. This makes it more reliable than browser extensions, which frequently break when Pinterest or the browser updates.
PinBoard lets you choose where to save files. By default, downloads are saved to a subfolder named after the Pinterest board in your selected directory.
Yes, PinBoard is safe. The Windows SmartScreen warning appears because the app is new and doesn't have a code-signing certificate from Microsoft yet. This is standard for independent apps. PinBoard runs 100% locally - no data collection, no tracking, no servers involved. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" to proceed with installation.
Yes. The free version downloads up to 100 images from any public board. PinBoard Pro ($5 one-time payment, no subscription) unlocks unlimited images, GIF downloads, video downloads, and private board access.
