How to Save All the Images from Your Pinterest Boards
(so you can refer to them off-
I don’t always have ready access to the Internet, but love referring to the images on Pinterest as a means of brainstorming and developing ideas for my many crafts and projects.
I have been trying for a very long time to find a way to download the images in my
Pinterest boards so that I can refer to them off-
Well, it’s been a long and frustrating journey, but I have finally found an easy and straight forward way of doing it.
The program I ended up using is called JDownloader. It’s a free program, very easy to use, and does a fantastic job of saving the images from Pinterest.
I used the program to download all the images in an entire Pinterest board. The JDownloader automatically creates a new folder on your computer for each board that you choose to download. Then it saves each of the pins from that board as their own individual JPG file/picture in the new folder.
I had one Pinterest Board that had close to 700 pins in it, it took a couple tries, but in the end the JDownloader program saved every single one of those pins as a JPG picture, so I now have them on my computer and can view them without having to be on the internet.

Download and Install the JDownloader Program
The JDownloader software is a free software program that I found works really well for saving the images in my Pinterest boards. It downloads as an .rar (zipped) file, so you may need to download another program to unzip it (I just used the free program RAR File Open Knife).
Once you download the program, unzip the file, and install the program on the machine, you should be all set for using it to save your Pinterest images.
Start Downloading From Your Pinterest Boards
This is the fun part!
1) Go online to your Pinterest account and open whichever board you are wanting to save.
2) Copy the URL (the exact website address at the top of your internet browser).
3) Open the JDownloader program and click on the tab that says “LinkGrabber”.
4) With your mouse, right click on the main area in the program and from the menu that appears select “Paste Links”.
5) In the bottom, right hand corner of the program click the button that says “Start All Downloads”.

The JDownloader is actually very easy to use, but can be a little overwhelming the
first time. Here’s a good step-
