Pinterest Board Downloader: Save a Whole Board or Profile in Bulk
Download pictures from Pinterest in bulk from one address: a whole board, one of its sections, or a profile with all its boards. Each pin arrives as its original image, not the smaller copy the grid shows, named with who saved it and its title, and keeps the address of the board it came from.
Pinterest Bulk Downloader vs Saving Pins by Hand
Saving by hand
- One pin at a time, from each pin's own menu
- No way to take a whole board or profile at once
- Files named with Pinterest's random ids
- Nothing records which board a picture came from
- Next time, you sort out yourself which pins are new
NeoDownloader
- A whole board, a section or a profile from one address
- Each board in a folder named after it
- Files named with who saved the pin and its title
- Each file keeps its board and the pin's own link
- A second run downloads only the pins added since
How to Download All Images from a Pinterest Board
For a single pin, the menu next to its image on Pinterest can download it. For a whole board, a section or a profile, three steps:
One-time setup: download NeoDownloader and install it. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The steps below are what you repeat each time.

Copy a Pinterest Address
Open the board, one of its sections or a profile on Pinterest; its address in the browser is what NeoDownloader needs.

Choose the folder, then click Create project: pins start landing in a folder that carries the board's name, and later runs add only the pins saved to the board since.
Pinterest Photo Downloader: Original Size, Not the Preview
NeoDownloader downloads each pin's original image - the file as it was saved to Pinterest - not the smaller copy the board's grid shows. A GIF comes down as an animated GIF.
The original is only as large as whoever saved the pin made it: NeoDownloader takes the largest copy Pinterest keeps and does not enlarge it.
No Pinterest account is needed: public boards, profiles and pins download without signing in.
Download a Pinterest Board, Section or Profile
- A board - pinterest.com/name/board/: every pin on it
- A board section - pinterest.com/name/board/section/
- A profile - pinterest.com/name/: every board, each in a folder of its own
- A single pin - pinterest.com/pin/…
- Search results - pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=…
Pinterest Photo Saver With Readable File Names
Pinterest's own file name is a long string of hex digits; NeoDownloader builds one from the pin instead:
Pinterest's file name:

metmuseum Kate Greenaway - Valentine - The Metropolitan Museum of Art 171981279521279422.jpgWho saved the pin, then its title - or the start of its description when it has none - and the pin's id, so pins with the same title never overwrite each other. Pins from a search also carry the day they were saved, and a pin of several files numbers them after the id.
Pinterest Board Downloader Features
Boards, sections and profiles, each in one run
A Profile, Board by Board
Paste a profile's address and every board on it comes down, each board in a folder named after it.
GIFs and Video Pins
A GIF comes down animated, and a video pin on a board as an MP4 file. Some video pins, and most videos in search results, Pinterest gives only as a stream; the project's journal lists those rather than saving them.
Every Pin Keeps Its Link
“Found on” in a file's properties is the board it came from, and “Open on the site” takes you back to it. The pin's title, description and the link it was saved from are kept under “What the site says”.
Only What Is New
A repeat run compares the board with what you have and fetches only the newer pins.
Pinterest Board Downloader FAQ
Is there a free Pinterest board downloader?
Yes. You pay nothing to install NeoDownloader, and it takes Pinterest boards, sections and profiles, each from its address. The free version has no time limit; Premium lifts its limits on the number of files per project.
How do I download all images from a Pinterest board?
Copy the board's address, such as pinterest.com/name/board/, click “New project” in NeoDownloader and paste it. The board's pins are saved to a folder on your computer, named after the board.
How do I download a whole Pinterest profile?
Paste the profile's address, pinterest.com/name/. NeoDownloader goes through every board on the profile and saves each one into a folder named after it.
Does it download the original photo or a thumbnail?
The original: the image as it was saved to Pinterest, not the smaller copy the grid shows. It is as large as whoever saved the pin made it; NeoDownloader does not enlarge it.
How do I download a single Pinterest image?
For one pin, the menu next to its image on Pinterest can download it. NeoDownloader is made for many at once, but a single pin works too: paste its pinterest.com/pin/… address.
Can it download Pinterest videos and GIFs?
Yes. A GIF comes down animated, and a video pin on a board as an MP4 file. Some video pins, and most videos in search results, Pinterest gives only as a stream; the project's journal lists those rather than saving them.
Can I download many Pinterest images at once on my computer?
Yes. Paste the address of a board, a section, a profile or a search, and its pins come down to a folder on your computer in one run.
Is there a Pinterest board downloader online or as a Chrome extension?
NeoDownloader lives on your computer, not in the browser. Hand it a board, a section or a profile and it notes every pin it saves, so a later run skips them.
Do I need a Pinterest account?
No. Public boards, profiles and pins download without signing in.
Will it download the same pins again next time?
No. Pins already in the board's folder are left alone; only new ones are fetched.
Ready to Download Pinterest Boards in Bulk?
Pick a board you keep coming back to and let its pins move into a folder of your own. The free version has no time limit.
