Why Backup Your Pinterest Boards

Protect years of curated inspiration from disappearing. Here's why downloading your boards matters.

The risks of not backing up

Account Issues

Get locked out or suspended, lose access to everything

Source Removal

Original pinners delete their content, your saves vanish

Platform Changes

Pinterest updates policies or features, breaking old saves

Link Rot

External sources go offline, images become broken

Downloading private boards

For private and secret boards, you have two options:

Option 1: Make it public temporarily

Change your board to public for just a few seconds while you download. Then set it back to private. Quickest option if you're in a hurry.

Option 2: Use the Chrome Extension

Install our extension to download private boards without changing their visibility. The extension uses your existing Pinterest session securely.
