This list contains 4 free methods to batch download Pinterest images. You can access your board or public board of any other Pinterest user and then download all the images from that board. This could be handy to backup your Pinterest boards containing only the images. Some of these options are also helpful to download GIFs stored in your Pinterest boards. Moreover, a few of these methods are handy to download images from your secret Pinterest board. Also, these options help to download images in full or maximum available resolution.
Downloading a single image from Pinterest is not an issue as you just need to open that image and use right-click menu to save the image. The thing is downloading multiple or all images from a Pinterest board is not possible in that way. Therefore, these methods are just very helpful.
Let’s check these free methods to batch download Pinterest images.
DownAlbum
DownAlbum is a very popular Chrome extension to download Facebook albums, Instagram, Twitter, Weibo, and Ask.fm photos. The good thing is it is also very helpful to download photos from a Pinterest board. Another great feature of this extension is you can save animated GIFs also from a Pinterest board. You can also save photos from your secret Pinterest board which is again a great feature of it.
It can’t help you download a Pinterest video, but the first frame of a video is downloaded as still image by this extension.
Once you’ve installed the extension, login to your Pinterest account and access some board. After that, use its icon and a pop-up will open. In that pop-up, select Normal button. This will check how many images and animated GIFs are present in that board. When it has calculated this, a new tab is opened. In that tab, you can see thumbnails of all the photos and animated GIFs. That’s it! Now press Ctrl+s hotkey. A save as window will open. Select a folder stored on your PC. It will save an HTML file and all photos and animated GIFs of that Pinterest board in that folder.
PinDown Free
PinDown Free is also a good option to download images from a Pinterest board. It also supports secret boards to download the images. Another handy feature is it also downloads GIFs present in a Pinterest board, and saves them in a separate folder. So, the features are awesome. However, do note that its free version supports maximum 250 images in a Pinterest board. If that is not an issue, then this is one of the best options to batch download Pinterest images.
Just install it, access some board, and click the extension icon. Its icon also shows number of pins present in that particular board. When you will click the icon it will show a banner with “Let’s rock!” button. Use that button and it will download all the pins for you.
You need to set default folder and uncheck “Ask where to save each file before downloading” in Settings of Chrome so that it can automatically download all pins from that particular Pinterest board.
Image Downloader
Image Downloader (Homepage) is a free and open source Chrome extension. It is also a multi-purpose extension which supports Reddit, Pinterest, and other sites to download the images. You can use it to grab all pins from a secret or public Pinterest board.
Just install it, use the extension icon, and its pop-up will open. There you will see the thumbnails of animated GIFs and images available in that board. It doesn’t help you download GIF with original format. Only first frame of GIF is saved as JPG image, but images are downloaded successfully.
Before saving all the images (using Select all option), it lets you download images one by one using the download icon available for each image. Apart from that, it lets you filter the images using regex or wildcard so that you can download only those images which are relevant to you.
ImageAssistant Batch Image Downloader
ImageAssistant Batch Image Downloader (Homepage) is also a nice option to grab images from Pinterest and save them to PC in one go. It doesn’t help you save animated GIFs from a Pinterest board but you can grab all images from a secret or public board.
Install the extension, access Pinterest board, and use the extension icon. It will open a new tab where you will see the images of that particular board. For each image, it will show the image resolution which is a unique feature. Now you can select images to save them to PC or also filter images by regex or image resolution to download the images based on the filter.
The Conclusion:
