Files are automatically sorted by board sections. Each folder maintains the same structure as your Pinterest board, making it easy to find specific content.

Organization tips

Cloud Backup

Move your downloads to iCloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox. This gives you an extra layer of protection and access from any device.

Use Tags or Labels

Most operating systems support file tagging. Add tags like "inspiration", "reference", or project names to make searching easier.

Create Collections

Group related boards into project folders. For example: "Kitchen Renovation" might include boards for cabinets, flooring, and lighting.

Regular Backups

Set a monthly reminder to backup new boards. Your Pinterest grows over time. Make sure your local backup keeps up.
