How to Use the Pinterest Board Downloader
- 01
Copy the Board Link
Open the board, tap Share and choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address bar.
- 02
Paste and List Pins
Paste it above and press Download. The summary shows how many Pins loaded, for example 50 of 230 pins.
- 03
Save One or All
Tap Download on single cards, or Download all to save every ready file on the list.
What the Pinterest Board Downloader Can Do
Up to 50 Pins
One board link loads its first 50 Pins in the order the board shows them.
Mixed media
Photos, GIFs and videos sit side by side, each labelled with its type and size.
Download all
One button saves every ready file, spaced a second apart so the browser accepts them.
Open pin link
Idea Pins and some videos get an Open pin button so you can fetch them on their own.
Why a board stops at 50 Pins
Big boards can hold thousands of Pins. Reading all of them at once would be slow and would put heavy load on a free service.
So each board link reads two pages of 25 Pins. The summary shows "50 of 230 pins" when the board is bigger, so you always know what was left out.
Your own boards work too, if public
Many people use this to back up their own boards: wedding ideas, kitchen designs, a study board of diagrams.
The board has to be public. Secret boards are hidden from anyone not logged in as a member, so the tool cannot read them.
Pinterest Board Download: Limits, Links and Tips
What a Pinterest board downloader is for
A Pinterest board downloader saves many Pins from one board in a single go, instead of opening and copying each Pin by hand.
Boards are where people collect ideas: 80 saree draping styles, home office setups, tattoo references, a board of Class 10 science diagrams. Going through them one by one is tiring.
With a board link, this tool reads the board, shows a grid of cards, and lets you save the lot.
Each card keeps the Pin's real type. Photos come as JPG, PNG or WEBP in the largest size Pinterest holds.
GIFs come as animated .gif. Video Pins come as MP4 with sound, and also get an MP3 button.
The Reels Downloader is a free, separate service with no connection to Pinterest. Boards are usually full of other people's work, so download for personal use, or content you own or have permission for.
For the platform's own rules on sharing, privacy and copyright, see the Pinterest Help Centre.
Getting the right board link
The tool needs a link to a board, not to a profile or a single Pin. A board address has two parts after pinterest.com: the owner's username and the board name.
Works
pinterest.com/username/board-name/
Works
a pin.it link copied from a board's Share menu
Does not work
pinterest.com/username/ on its own, which is a profile page
Does not work
a profile's Saved or Created tab, or a search results page
In the app
- Go to your profile or the creator's profile and tap the board.
- Tap the Share icon near the board name.
- Choose Copy link.
Board sections
If you copy a link to a section inside a board, the tool loads the main board it belongs to. You will see the board's first 50 Pins, not only that section.
How the board list is built
Knowing what happens behind the button explains what you see in the result.
Two pages of 25
The tool asks Pinterest for the board's Pins 25 at a time, and stops after two pages. That gives up to 50 cards.
One card per Pin
Each Pin shows as one card. If a Pin has several pages, like an Idea Pin, the card shows its first page and says First page of an Idea Pin.
Ten streamed videos
Some videos, mostly from Idea Pins, are streamed in parts and need extra work to join. On a board, only the first 10 of those get a direct Download button. The rest show Open pin instead.
The summary line
Under the board name and owner you see counts, such as "50 of 230 pins", "38 photos", "9 videos", "3 Idea Pins".
For any card with Open pin, copy that Pin's own link and paste it on the Idea Pin downloader or video downloader page to get all of it.
Using Download all without problems
Download all is the fastest way to save a board, but browsers are careful about pages that start many downloads.
- 1
Wait until all cards are visible. The button reads Download all followed by the number of ready files.
- 2
Tap it once. Files start one by one, about 1.2 seconds apart.
- 3
When Chrome asks "Download multiple files?", tap Allow. If you miss it, only the first file saves.
- 4
Keep the page open until the last file has started. Locking the phone can pause the queue.
What it skips
MP3 buttons are not included, and cards that only have Open pin are left out. Save those separately.
Storage
50 photos can take a fair amount of space, and videos much more. Check free space before you start.
Data
Use Wi-Fi for big video boards if your mobile plan has a daily limit.
Saving a board bigger than 50 Pins
The tool always reads from the top of the board, so pasting the same link again gives the same first 50 Pins. There are still practical ways to get more.
Make smaller boards
If it is your board, split it into a few themed boards of 50 or fewer, then paste each board link.
Grab single Pins
For a handful of Pins further down, open each one and paste its link on the Pinterest image downloader.
Mind the hourly cap
Each board link counts as one read, and one connection gets about 40 reads an hour. A board plus a few single Pins fits easily.
Keep a list
Note the name of the last Pin you saved from the board. Next time, you can scroll to that point in Pinterest and pick up single Pins from there without repeating the first 50.
Where board downloads end up
Board files save into the same place as any browser download. Each file is named after the board, with the card number at the end, so they stay in board order.
Android
Files app, Download folder. Photos and videos also appear in Gallery within a few seconds.
iPhone
Files > Downloads. Select several files with Select, then share and save them to Photos in one go.
PC
The Downloads folder. Create a folder named after the board and drag everything in so it does not mix with other files.
Mixed types
Photos keep their own format, GIFs end in .gif and videos end in .mp4, so a quick sort by type in your file manager separates them.

Board errors and what they mean
A wrong link type is the most common cause. These are the messages you may see.
"We could not find that board."
The board is secret, deleted, or the link has a typo. Secret boards are visible only to their members, so they cannot be loaded here.
"That does not look like a Pinterest pin or board link."
You pasted a profile, search or home page link. Open the board itself and copy again.
"We found that link but no photo or video in it."
The board exists but has no Pins yet, or none with a file to save.
"Pinterest is busy right now."
Pinterest asked us to slow down. Wait a minute and try again.
"Too many links from your connection."
You have used about 40 reads this hour. Come back later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still unsure? Email info@thereelsdownloader.com or visit Contact Us.
How many Pins can the Pinterest board downloader load?
Up to 50 Pins per board link. The tool reads the board in two pages of 25 and then stops. If the board has more, the summary says so, for example 50 of 230 pins, so you know how many were left out.
Can I download a secret Pinterest board?
No. Secret boards are hidden from everyone except the owner and invited members, and the tool does not log in. If it is your own board, you can make it public for a moment in Pinterest, download it, and switch it back to secret.
Why do some board cards say Open pin instead of Download?
Two cases. Idea Pins show only their first page on a board, and streamed videos beyond the first 10 on a board are not prepared. Copy that Pin's own link and paste it on the Idea Pin or video downloader page to save it fully.
Does Download all include MP3 audio?
No. Download all saves the photos, GIFs and videos that have a Download button. MP3 is extra and optional, so tap the MP3 button on each video card where you want the audio as well.
Can I paste a profile link to get all boards?
No. A profile link holds many boards, and the tool needs one board at a time. Open the board you want from the profile, copy its link, and paste that instead.
What happens if I paste a board section link?
The tool loads the board the section belongs to, not just the section. You get that board's first 50 Pins. If you only want the section's Pins, move them into a separate board first.
Only one file downloaded when I pressed Download all. Why?
Your browser blocked the extra downloads. Chrome shows a prompt asking whether the site may download multiple files. Tap Allow and press Download all again. On iPhone, Safari may ask for each file, so tap Download on every prompt.
Are board images saved in full size?
Yes. Each image card points to the largest copy Pinterest keeps for that Pin, usually the original upload. GIFs stay animated and videos come as MP4 with sound.
Is it okay to download someone else's board?
Use it for personal inspiration and reference only. A board often collects photos and art made by many different people. Ask the creators before you reuse any of it publicly or for business.
