## ❓ Why Can't I Just Right-Click Save?

Pinterest **disables right-click save** on their site to protect creators. That's why users search for tools like SortPin — we get around this limitation **legally**, without hacking Pinterest, using their public data API.

## 🧩 Method 1: Chrome Extension (Recommended for Bulk)

### Step 1 — Install SortPin

[**Install SortPin (Free) →**](https://sortpin.com) — 30 seconds. Full guide: [How to Install](/getting-started/how-to-install-sortpin.com-extension.md).

### Step 2 — Hover Over Any Pinterest Image

Browse Pinterest → hover over the image you want to save.

### Step 3 — Click SortPin Icon → Download Image

The image saves in **original resolution** to your Downloads folder.

## 🛠️ Troubleshooting

### "Why can't I download Pinterest images?"

Pinterest disabled right-click save. Use SortPin instead — it bypasses this limitation using their public data.

### "Image downloads in low quality"

You get the **exact quality the creator uploaded**. If the source pin was 800px, that's what you get. SortPin can't upscale.

### "Pinterest won't let me download images anymore"

This is Pinterest's default behavior (right-click disabled). Install SortPin — problem solved.

### "Bulk download not working"

For entire boards, see: [How to Download Pinterest Board](/download-guides-by-content-type/how-to-download-pinterest-board.md)
