🚀 How to Bulk Download Pinterest — Step by Step

Step 1 — Install SortPin

Install SortPin (Free) → — Chrome Extension is required for bulk features. Full guide: Install SortPin

Step 2 — Open the Source Page

Navigate to what you want to bulk-download:

• 🎯 Board: open the board URL

• 👤 Profile: open the user's profile

• 🔍 Search: run any Pinterest search

• 📌 Your saves: go to your "Saved" section

Step 3 — Enable Smart Collect, then scroll

Data is captured automatically as the page scrolls — you don't start a separate job.

1. SortPin panel → Collect tab → confirm Pins Collection is on

2. SortPin panel → General tab → enable the Scroll Button

3. On the Pinterest page, click Start Scroll

SortPin then scrolls steadily and collects each pin as Pinterest loads it.

Collect tab — turn off the collection types you don't need to keep the dashboard fast

⚡ Turn off collection types you don't need. If you only want images, leave Boards and Pinners off — a smaller database means a much faster dashboard. See why.

Setting the scroll delay (General tab, in seconds):

Delay	Suits
~5s (default)	Small collections
8–12s	Several hundred pins
15–20s	If Pinterest starts throttling

☕ Grab a coffee — for 1000+ pins, this can take 30+ minutes.

Step 4 — Filter Results

In the All Pins dashboard, filter before downloading:

Tab	Shows
📋 All	Everything collected
🖼️ Images	Static images only
🎬 Videos	Video pins only
✨ AI	Pins flagged as AI-generated
💲 Promoted	Ads — usually worth excluding
🔖 Bookmark	Pins you flagged inside SortPin

Filter to exactly what you want before downloading, then Export CSV or download the files

Step 5 — Bulk Download

Click "Download All" → SortPin saves every file into a folder.

Optionally:

• 📄 Export CSV — spreadsheet with all pin URLs, titles, saves, likes

• 📸 Selective download — pick specific pins from the collected list

⏱️ Bulk Download Time Estimates

Rough guide at a 10–12 second scroll delay:

Number of Pins	Estimated Time
50 pins	~2 minutes
100 pins	~4 minutes
300 pins	~10 minutes
500 pins	~15 minutes
1,000 pins	~30 minutes
5,000 pins	~2.5 hours
10,000+ pins	~5+ hours (split into sessions)

💡 A shorter delay isn't always faster. Dropping too low increases the chance Pinterest throttles the session — and a throttled session collects nothing. For long jobs, longer delays usually finish sooner.

🛠️ Bulk Download Troubleshooting

"Bulk download stopped halfway"

• Pinterest may have rate-limited your session. Wait 10-30 minutes → resume.

• Increase the scroll delay to 15-20 seconds in the General tab.

"Some pins missing from bulk output"

Pinterest lazy-loads content. Restart auto-scroll from the top of the page.

"Bulk download is extremely slow"

• Check internet speed

• Close other Chrome tabs (frees RAM)

• See: SortPin displaying data slowly

"Pinterest flagged my account after bulk scan"

You may have scrolled too fast. Use a longer scroll delay and avoid running collection continuously. See: How to grow Pinterest safely

"Can't bulk-download from private boards"

You must be logged into Pinterest with access to the board. SortPin only sees what your browser sees.

⚠️ Best Practices to Avoid Pinterest Rate Limits

1. ⏱️ Use a scroll delay of 10 seconds or more for large jobs

2. 📊 Don't run multiple bulk sessions simultaneously

3. 🕐 Take breaks between large jobs (1 hour+ between sessions)

4. 📅 Don't run 24/7 automation

5. 🔀 Vary your activity — don't just bulk-download
