What Are Boardless Pins?
Boardless pins are pins that a user has saved but hasn't organized into a specific board. They appear on the profile's main "Pins" tab rather than inside individual boards.
Many Pinterest users have hundreds or thousands of boardless pins - quick saves they made without taking time to organize.
PinBoardSaver lets you download these pins that would otherwise be tedious to save one by one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I download pins from any Pinterest profile?
Yes, you can download pins from any public Pinterest profile. Private profiles require you to be logged in and have access.
What's the difference between boardless pins and board pins?
Board pins are organized into specific boards (like "Home Decor" or "Recipes"). Boardless pins are saved directly to the profile without being sorted into a board.
Can I download my own profile pins?
Absolutely! This is a great way to backup all your saved Pinterest content.
How many pins can I download at once?
There's no limit on the number of pins. Large profiles may take a few minutes to process.
What format are the downloaded pins?
Pins are downloaded in their original format (JPG, PNG, GIF) and packaged in a ZIP file for easy access.
Can I download videos from profiles?
Yes, video pins are included in the download alongside images.
Is this allowed by Pinterest?
Downloading for personal use is generally acceptable. For commercial use, always respect copyright and Pinterest's terms of service.
What if I want to download both boards AND profile pins?
No problem! Use PinBoardSaver to download specific boards separately, then use the "Download Boardless Pins" feature for unsorted pins.
Need to Download Entire Boards Instead?
If you want to download organized Pinterest boards (not just profile pins), PinBoardSaver does that too:
- Download complete boards with one click
- Save as images or PDF
- Choose masonry grid or single image layout
- Works on any public board
