How to Use the Pinsuite Chrome Extension to Download Pinterest Boards
Published November 15, 2025 · Updated February 19, 2026
The Pinsuite browser extension is the fastest way to download Pinterest boards — including private and secret ones — directly from your browser. No copy-pasting URLs, no switching tabs: navigate to any board, click the extension icon, and your entire collection lands in your Pinsuite library ready to export as a ZIP.
What the Extension Does
The Pinterest browser extension acts as a bridge between your Pinterest account and your Pinsuite library. Here is what it gives you:
- ✓Download any Pinterest board with a single click — no URL required.
- ✓Works with private and secret boards that no other tool can access.
- ✓Preserves original image and video quality along with pin metadata.
- ✓Available for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari — all feature-equivalent.
How to Install the Extension
Installation takes under two minutes. Follow these three steps:
Get the extension for your browser
Install from the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or the Mac App Store for Safari. Search "Pinsuite" or use the direct links in the CTA at the bottom of this page.
Generate a connection token in your dashboard
Log in to Pinsuite, open the Extension page from the sidebar, and click "Generate Connection Token". Copy the token — it links the extension to your account securely.
Paste the token into the extension
Click the Pinsuite icon in your browser toolbar, paste your token into the input field, and press Connect. A green checkmark confirms you are ready to go.
How to Download a Board
Once the extension is connected, downloading any board is a four-step process:
Navigate to any Pinterest board
Open pinterest.com and go to the board you want to download — public, private, or secret.
Click the Pinsuite extension icon
Find the Pinsuite icon in your browser toolbar and click it to open the extension panel.
Click "Download Board"
The extension detects the board you are viewing and shows its name. Hit Download Board to start.
Export from your Pinsuite library
Your pins appear in your Pinsuite library within seconds. From there, select the collection and download everything as a ZIP file.
Private vs Public Boards
The Pinsuite extension works equally well with both board types. Because it runs inside your browser while you are logged in to Pinterest, it can see everything your account can see — including boards set to private or secret.
Your privacy is protected
You do not need to make boards public to download them. The connection token is personal and tied only to your account — nobody else can use it to access your boards. Your Pinterest password is never stored or transmitted by the extension.
Supported Browsers
Pinsuite publishes a native extension for all major desktop browsers. Each version receives the same features and updates simultaneously.
