How To Download Images From Pinterest Mac

 

The problem with Pinterest is that there isn’t an obvious and easy way to collate and print the images without the text below them. It’s also tricky to present the images at the scale, and in the order that you’d like them to appear. I have a solution for you! Let’s distinguish the question: to upload you are PINning the image from your computer/PC to Pinterest. To download images (bring to your Computer/PC) you have to select them one at a time. The value is you can select more discriminately or select your own boards to attach them to.

Thinking about downloading some beautiful pictures from Pinterest? There is still no Pinterest image downloader, but there are simple ways to save photos of the service’s boards.

Saving Pinterest pictures through the service’s website for computer

If you are using Pinterest on your computer you can also save the pictures of the service through it. In the following tutorial we will show you how you can save your favorite Pinterest pictures through a computer.

  1. Open a web browser (we recommend Google Chrome) and go to the Pinterest website.
  2. Go to the Pin that contains the picture you want to download on your computer.
  3. Right-click on the Pin picture and then click on the “Save image as…” option.
  4. Now, choose in which folder you want to save the downloaded Pinterest picture and click the “Save” button.

It’s strange how so many people use Pinterest and yet it is one of the least talked about social platforms. Built around photos, Pinterest helps you discover creative ideas. Whether you are looking for a recipe, a DIY gift, quotes, accessories, or clothes, Pinterest has it all.

Pinterest is one of the most addictive platforms. Once you start using it, you never want to leave it (I say it from experience). If you discover something interesting, you can bookmark it or save it in one of your Boards. Boards are the visual bookmark tools. You can create multiple Boards on Pinterest. These Boards can be public or private and can be shared with others.

However, these Boards are available only inside the Pinterest website or app (understandably) and that doesn't work offline. There might be times when you're craving to see that collection you had saved in one of the boards but can't because internet's not working.

So how do you avoid being in such a situation?

Luckily, Pinterest provides a built-in way to save images and in this post, we will tell you how to save Pinterest images to your gallery, both on desktop and mobile.

How to Download All the Images from a Pinterest Board

In case you want to download multiple images from a Pinterest Board on your PC, we have a solution for that as well. You will need to use a Chrome extension that goes by the name Image Downloader. The extension isn’t limited to Pinterest only. You can use it to download multiple images from any website.

Here are the steps:

Step 1: Open Chrome on PC. Then click here to add Image Downloader Chrome extension. When the extension loads, click the Add to Chrome button.

Step 2: Once installed, you will see the Image Downloader icon in the top bar of Chrome. Now open Pinterest and navigate to the Board from where you want to download images.

Step 3: Then click on the Image Downloader icon. From the pop-up, check the Select All option. If you don’t want to download an image, click it once in the pop-up window. It will be removed from the selection.

Step 4: Finally, hit the Download button. You will get a warning notification saying that if your Chrome setting is set to Always ask the location before downloading, multiple download windows will open. If you are okay with that, click yes. Otherwise click No.

To avoid multiple save windows, we need to check the download settings first. For that, click the three-dot icon at the top-right corner of Chrome and select Settings from the menu.

Under Settings, click Advanced. Then, uncheck the option that says ‘Ask where to save each file before downloading’ under Downloads. After disabling it, repeat step 3 and 4. Now when the extension asks you to continue the download, click on Yes. Chrome will download all the images on that page.

Enjoy
