Pinterest Board Downloader Extensions, Compared

Updated 23 September 2026 · 8 min read

Six Chrome extensions can save an entire Pinterest board as one ZIP: Pinterest Image Downloader, Pin Kit, Unpinned, PinDownCloud, Pin Toolbox and Pinpasta. We installed all six, read their listings, pricing pages and manifests, and ran the same public boards, hundreds of pins, through each one. The short answer: Pinterest Image Downloader is the only one of the six that downloads a whole board without a sign-in or a per-board cap, keeps board sections as folders, saves videos as MP4 with sound, and holds a 5.0 rating on the Chrome Web Store. Each of the others has a real strength, and it is listed honestly below.

Limits and access

How do the six extensions compare on limits and access?

Limits and prices come from each extension's own Chrome Web Store listing, website or FAQ. Pinterest domains and site access come from each extension's manifest, the file that declares which sites it may read.

Best overall · whole board, nothing to sign up for

Pinterest Image Downloader

Chrome Web Store rating 5.0

Pinterest Image Downloader downloads a whole Pinterest board as one ZIP, with each board section written as its own folder, and it asks for nothing first: no account, no sign-in and no per-board cap. It fetches every file from Pinterest's originals path, so the images in a board ZIP are the same full-size files a single-pin download gives you, and video pins arrive as MP4 with the audio track. Beyond boards it adds a download button to every pin you hover and accepts a pasted pin link, including the pin.it links the Pinterest app shares from a phone. It works on pinterest.com and 30 country domains, requests access to Pinterest pages only, and processes everything inside the browser.

Good: original files, sections as folders, MP4 with sound, GIFs kept animated, resumable board downloads, the smallest access footprint of the six with Pinpasta. Limits: desktop Chrome and Chromium browsers only. Price: listed without in-app purchases on the Chrome Web Store.

Most polished · PDF export and preview

Pin Kit — Pinterest Board Downloader

Chrome Web Store rating 4.9

Pin Kit is the best-reviewed alternative here, with a 4.9 rating. It exports a board as ZIP or PDF, can download a single section, adds a preview button next to its hover download, and lets you pick which pins to include. The free tier is metered: a guest gets 1 board download and 10 pin saves a month, a signed-in free account gets 2 boards and 20 saves, and the Premium plan removes the limits. In our tests it delivered 99% of pins, but it fetched Pinterest's 736-pixel variant for a third of the sampled images and dropped the section folders on both sectioned boards.

Good: PDF export, section downloads, pin selection, a large and happy user base, seven interface languages. Limits: 1 board and 10 pin saves a month without signing in; 2 boards and 20 saves with a free account; pinterest.com only. Price: Premium $79 a year or $9.99 a month, per its FAQ.

Best for print-ready PDF moodboards

Pin Toolbox — Pinterest Board Downloader

Chrome Web Store rating 3.7

Pin Toolbox has the largest install base of the six and a long trail of YouTube tutorials. Its distinctive feature is print: it turns a board into a numbered, print-ready PDF as well as a ZIP, and Pro handles boards past 5,000 pins. The free demo downloads or prints the first 15 pins of any board, which is exactly what it delivered on every board we tried. Its manifest requests access to all websites, not only Pinterest.

Good: print-ready PDFs, descriptive numbered filenames, boards past 5,000 pins on Pro, 54 listing languages. Limits: demo limited to the first 15 pins; requests access to all websites; pinterest.com only. Price: Pro €14.99 a month; Teams €14.99 per user a month, per its pricing page.

Best for Figma and FigJam

Pinpasta — Pinterest Board Downloader

Chrome Web Store rating 3.3

Pinpasta is built for designers: it pastes high-resolution pins straight into Figma or FigJam, 30 pins per paste, and exports a board as a ZIP with a report file listing each pin. It runs in the browser without an account and, like Pinterest Image Downloader, asks for access to Pinterest pages only. The free ZIP covers the first 20 pins of a board; a one-time Pro licence removes that limit. In our run it saved every video pin as a still JPEG without saying so, and on two sectioned boards it saw only the pins outside the sections.

Good: Figma and FigJam paste, Firefox build, no account, the smallest access footprint of the six with Pinterest Image Downloader. Limits: ZIP limited to the first 20 pins; video downloads not documented; pinterest.com only. Price: Pro is a one-time payment, per its site.

FAQ

Common questions

Which Pinterest board downloader extension has no per-board limit?

Pinterest Image Downloader downloads a whole board with no per-board cap and no sign-in. Pin Toolbox's demo stops at the first 15 pins, Pinpasta's ZIP stops at 20 pins, Unpinned allows 50 pins a day, and Pin Kit allows one board a month without signing in.

Do I need to sign in to download a Pinterest board?

Not with Pinterest Image Downloader or Pinpasta. Unpinned and PinDownCloud require an account before any download, and Pin Kit asks you to sign in after the first board or ten single pins in a month.

Do Pinterest board downloaders keep sections as folders?

Pinterest Image Downloader writes each board section as a folder inside the ZIP: on sectioned test boards it produced a folder per section, named as on Pinterest. In the same test Pin Kit and Pin Toolbox delivered a flat ZIP with the sections dropped, and Pinpasta saw only the pins outside the sections. Unpinned describes organized folders in its documentation; PinDownCloud does not document section handling.

Do these extensions download Pinterest videos with sound?

Pinterest Image Downloader saves video pins as MP4 files with the audio track: in our tests every video pin arrived as MP4, with sound wherever the source has it. Pin Kit and Pin Toolbox delivered MP4 with sound for the videos they reached in the same test. Pinpasta saved every video pin as a still JPEG frame. Unpinned and PinDownCloud describe MP4 downloads but require an account before any download.

Which board downloader saves the original resolution?

Every extension in this comparison advertises full or original resolution. In our tests, Pinterest Image Downloader delivered files byte-identical to Pinterest's originals on 100% of sampled pins; Pin Kit did on 64%, fetching the 736-pixel variant for the rest; Pin Toolbox and Pinpasta matched on every file they delivered but stopped at their caps. Pinterest Image Downloader requests each file from the originals path and falls back to the 1,200-pixel variant only when no original exists, so a board ZIP holds the same files a single-pin download would.

Is it safe to use a Pinterest board downloader extension?

Check what the extension can access and where files are processed. Pinterest Image Downloader and Pinpasta request access to Pinterest pages only and process everything inside the browser. Pin Toolbox requests access to all websites, and Pin Kit, Unpinned and PinDownCloud add their own login services. None of the six asks for your Pinterest password.
