## 🚀 How to Bulk Download Pinterest — Step by Step

### Step 1 — Install SortPin

[**Install SortPin (Free) →**](https://sortpin.com) — Chrome Extension is required for bulk features. Full guide: [Install SortPin](/getting-started/how-to-install-sortpin.com-extension.md)

### 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 — Start Auto-Scroll

Click the SortPin **auto-scroll button** with a **12-second interval**.

SortPin will:

* 🔄 Automatically scroll through the page
* 📥 Collect data for every pin encountered
* ⏱️ Wait 12 seconds per scroll for Pinterest to load

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

### Step 4 — Filter Results

After collection completes, filter:

* 🖼️ Images only (JPG/PNG)
* 🎬 Videos only (MP4)
* 🎨 GIFs only (MP4 animated)
* 📊 All content types

### 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

Based on the recommended **12-second scroll interval**:

| 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) |

> 💡 **Speed up (risky):** Reduce interval to 10 seconds. Below 10s → Pinterest may rate-limit or flag your account.

## 🛠️ Bulk Download Troubleshooting

### "Bulk download stopped halfway"

* Pinterest may have rate-limited your session. Wait 10-30 minutes → resume.
* Increase scroll interval to 15-20 seconds.

### "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](/displaying-data-slowly.md)

### "Pinterest flagged my account after bulk scan"

You may have scrolled too fast. Follow safe intervals (12s+) and avoid running 24/7. See: [How to grow Pinterest safely](/faqs/how-to-grow-a-pinterest-account-without-getting-locked.md)

### "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 **12s or higher** scroll interval
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
