How to Download Pinterest Pictures in Bulk (Multiple Images at Once)
Pinterest has no built-in “select all and download” button, so bulk-downloading Pinterest pictures means either downloading a whole board at once, using a browser extension built for batch saving, or working through a short list of Pins with a dedicated downloader that is fast enough to not feel like a chore.
Option 1: Download an Entire Board at Once
If everything you want lives on one board, downloading the board itself is the most efficient route. Our full board download guide walks through pulling every image from a board in one pass, which is far faster than opening each Pin individually.
Option 2: A Browser Extension for Batch Image Saving
General-purpose “download all images” browser extensions can grab every image visible on a Pinterest page, including a board or search results view. Scroll the page first to load all the Pins you want (Pinterest loads images as you scroll), then run the extension. This works well for smaller batches but tends to pull thumbnail-sized files rather than full resolution, so check the output before relying on it for anything you need in print quality.
Option 3: Downloading a Curated List of Pins
When you only want a specific set of Pins scattered across different boards – not an entire board – the fastest approach is copying each Pin’s link and running it through our Pinterest image downloader one after another. Because it fetches the original file directly, you get full-resolution images even in bulk, which is worth the extra few seconds per Pin compared to a scraping extension.
| Approach | Best For | Typical Image Quality | Setup Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole-board download | Everything on one board | Original | None |
| Batch browser extension | Quick, approximate saves | Often thumbnail-sized | Install extension |
| Dedicated downloader, one by one | A curated list across boards | Original | None |
Tips for Large Batches
- Scroll the full board or search page first so Pinterest has actually loaded every image you want – it loads content lazily as you scroll.
- Rename files as you go, or sort them into folders afterward – Pinterest downloads generally use generic filenames.
- Check your device storage before pulling dozens of full-resolution images, especially on a phone.
- If a specific image repeatedly fails, open that one Pin directly rather than troubleshooting the whole batch.
Organizing What You Download
Bulk downloads get messy fast if you do not plan ahead. Before you start, create a folder named after the board or topic – “Kitchen Remodel,” “Client Moodboard,” “Wedding Inspiration” – and save directly into it rather than sorting hundreds of generically named files afterward. On a phone, most gallery apps let you create an album first and choose it as the save destination, which saves a second cleanup pass entirely.
When Bulk Downloading Makes Sense vs. When It Doesn’t
Bulk downloading is worth the setup when you are archiving a whole project, moodboard, or client reference board that you genuinely need offline. For a handful of individual Pins scattered across different boards, it is usually faster to just download each one directly through our Pinterest image downloader as you find them, rather than trying to batch something that was never really a batch. Matching the method to the actual size of what you are saving keeps the whole process quick instead of turning a five-minute task into a half-hour one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an official Pinterest way to select multiple Pins and download them together?
No. Pinterest’s own apps and website only support downloading one Pin at a time through the three-dot menu.
Will bulk downloading get my Pinterest account flagged?
Normal personal downloading does not violate Pinterest’s terms. Automated scraping at high volume with bots is a different matter and can trigger rate limits.
Can I bulk download videos the same way as pictures?
Video Pins need a video-specific tool rather than an image extension – see our step-by-step video download guide.
Do bulk-downloaded images keep their original file names?
Rarely. Most download methods, including Pinterest’s own, assign generic file names, so renaming afterward is usually necessary if organization matters to you.
