Pinterest board downloader

Pinterest Board Downloader

Paste a public board URL, select pins, and download one ZIP of mixed images, videos, and GIFs — no Pinterest login, works on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac.

  • Selective ZIP export
  • No Pinterest login
  • iPhone, Android, PC & Mac

Quick answer

Yes—you can download pins from a public Pinterest board as a ZIP with PintDown. Paste the board URL, select up to 5 pins in preview, then download one archive. Secret boards and login-walled boards do not work. For more than five pins, download in batches.

Definition

A selective board ZIP packs up to 5 chosen pins from a public board into one downloadable archive.

It is meant for focused backups, not scraping an entire large board in a single unlimited request.

Before you start

  • A public board URL (profile/board path)
  • A stable connection while the ZIP builds

Key takeaways

  • Only public boards resolve.
  • Each ZIP is capped at 5 selected pins.
  • Retry failed pins with the matching single-pin tool.

Reading a board address before you paste it

Half of all failed board fetches come down to the wrong kind of URL. A board address always has two parts after the domain — the username, then the board's slug — and recognizing that shape saves you a round of trial and error.

  • pinterest.com/janedoe/small-balcony-gardens/

    Username followed by the board slug — the shape every board URL takes.

  • pin.it/4aBcDeF

    Short links unfold automatically, as long as they point at a board.

  • pinterest.com/janedoe/

    A profile, not a board. Open one of the person's boards and copy that address instead.

  • Secret boards & group invites

    Anything gated behind a login stays invisible to the fetcher — by design.

After just one pin from the collection? The video, image and GIF tools each take a single pin link.

Batch saving, five pins at a time

Download a Pinterest board as ZIP archives — select, pack, repeat until the collection is yours.

  1. 1

    Paste the board URL

    The grid preview loads every public pin the board exposes, thumbnails included, so you can see the whole collection before touching anything.

  2. 2

    Tick up to five pins

    Mixed media is fine — photos, clips and loops can all travel in the same pass. The counter keeps you inside the five-pin limit.

  3. 3

    Grab the ZIP, then repeat

    The archive is packaged and downloaded in one go, your selection resets, and the next batch is two clicks away.

Why the five-pin cap exists

Small archives build in seconds and never stall halfway, which matters more than it sounds when a board holds hundreds of pins of mixed sizes. A 40-pin board becomes eight quick passes rather than one long, fragile download that dies at 90%.

Keeping multi-batch downloads tidy

  • Rename each archive as it lands — balcony-gardens-1-of-8 beats five files called board.zip
  • Unpack every batch into a single folder per board so filenames from different ZIPs never collide
  • Note the pin count before you start; boards change, and it tells you exactly how many passes remain
  • If one pin inside a batch fails, fetch it solo through the matching single-pin tool instead of re-running the whole ZIP

Full walkthrough with screenshots: how to download a Pinterest board as a ZIP.

What is inside the ZIP

Each selected pin keeps its media type when the CDN URL loads successfully: still pins as image files, video pins as MP4 when available, and GIF or loop pins in the format Pinterest stores. PintDown does not invent missing files—failed fetches are skipped so the archive stays usable.

You choose what goes in. Selective ZIP export means you can skip duplicates, broken thumbs, or pins you already saved, instead of forcing an all-or-nothing dump.

Images, videos, and GIFs together

Boards often mix photos, video pins, and animated GIFs. Selected items keep their media type in the ZIP whenever the source URL loads successfully. For a single pin with quality choices (for example picking among real CDN resolutions), use the video, image, or GIF tools instead.

Secret boards and login

Secret or private boards cannot be resolved without a Pinterest login, and PintDown never asks for your password. That is intentional: we only work with publicly reachable boards. If a board fails to load, confirm it is public and that the URL includes the username and board name—not truncated share text.

Large boards and failed pins

Large boards take longer because each selected pin is fetched separately. Keep the browser tab open until the ZIP finishes. If some pins fail inside the archive, deselect broken thumbnails, re-fetch the board, or download those pins alone from the matching single-pin tool on /video, /image, or /gif.

FAQs

Board ZIP questions

Yes for public boards. Fetch the board, select the pins you want (or select all), and download them as one ZIP. You choose what goes in the archive.

No. Only public boards can be resolved without logging into Pinterest. PintDown never asks for your Pinterest password.

Selected pins keep their media type: photos as image files, video pins as MP4 when available, and GIF/loop pins in the format Pinterest stores. Failed CDN items are skipped rather than inventing files.

Individual CDN requests can fail or time out on large boards. Deselect broken thumbs, re-fetch, or download those pins alone with the video, image, or GIF tools.

Yes. Resolving a public board and building a ZIP of selected pins is free for personal use. Fair-use rate limits may apply to protect the service.

ZIP selection is capped at 5 pins per download (MAX_BOARD_PINS_ZIP). Run another pass with a new selection if you need more.

Board preview shows up to 20 pin cards. Board stats can still reflect a larger accessible count on big boards.

Boards at or above 50 pins are treated as large—expect longer fetch and ZIP times and keep the tab open until the archive finishes.

Use a public board URL with username and board slug (for example /username/board-name/). Pin URLs and profile-only URLs are not board addresses.

No. There is no password field. Secret and private boards stay unsupported by design.
