Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create a PDF directly from Pinterest?
Pinterest doesn't have a built-in PDF feature. PinBoardSaver adds this functionality - download any board as a PDF directly from your browser.
What's the image quality in the PDF?
PinBoardSaver uses original resolution images from Pinterest. Your PDFs are high-quality and print-ready.
Can I download just one section of a board?
Yes! In step 4 you can select specific sections instead of the entire board. Great for large boards when you only need part of it.
How many pins can I include in a PDF?
There's no limit. You can create PDFs from boards with hundreds of pins. Large PDFs may take a moment to generate.
Can I include videos in the PDF?
Videos are included as thumbnail images in the PDF. To download actual video files, use our standard board download feature.

Currently you can choose between masonry grid and single image layouts. More customization options coming soon.
