Frequently Asked Questions

Here's a few answers to some common questions we get about Pin Toolbox. If this doesn't answer a question, feel free to message us (bottom right). We respond soon as we can, and are always keen to hear any feedback / suggestions too.

What is Pin Toolbox?

Pin Toolbox is a tool for creative professionals that lets you save entire Pinterest boards to single folder on your computer. It downloads all the full size images and videos and everything is neatly named and numbered for you. If you're a designer & you use Pinterest in your workflow, it'll probably save you a lot of time and effort.

How long will it take me to download my pins?

It really depends on how big your board is, and how fast your wifi is. If it's a board of around 500 pins and they're images, it should be a few minutes. If it's a really big board (5-10k+) it could take 30 minutes to an hour. This is because Pin Toolbox always downloads the full size images and videos.

Who's behind Pin Toolbox?

Hey 👋 I'm Thomas and I'm a designer & developer from Scotland. I've been running Pin Toolbox for a bit over a year now, now with another developer, who works with me to maintain it. As Pinterest change the site, we work to make regular updates so it continues to work + everyone stays happy.

Can I try Pin Toolbox first?

Yup! Pin Toolbox has a free demo mode limited to 15 pins. After you try it, you can optionally upgrade to the Pro version, which allows unlimited downloading.

How to cancel my Pin Toolbox subscription?

You can cancel anytime through Pin Toolbox itself. When you're Pro, you'll see settings on the top right of the Pin Toolbox window, and you can cancel anytime from there. And you're free to rejoin anytime you need it 🙂

How do I import pins into Canva, Figma etc?

We made a bunch of YouTube tutorials showing how Pin Toolbox works with different tools. They're over on our YouTube channel.

Does Pin Toolbox download videos too?

Yes! Pin Toolbox downloads full size videos in their original quality. And you can choose to download only the images or only the videos too.

How does Pin Toolbox name my files?

Pin Toolbox names and numbers your files for you in a smart way. If you want to change how it names your file you can change this in the Advanced Settings, in settings - top right of the Pin Toolbox window.

Can I download particular sections only?

Yup, you can filter your pins by section and bulk select one or more sections, and also filter by just images or just videos. You can also download sections as nested folders - a neat feature we added recently. (Try it out by enabling it in advanced settings!)
