👤 How to Find Your Pinterest Profile URL
On desktop
Log in and click your profile picture (top right)
Your profile opens — the URL bar now shows it
That string after the final slash is your username, and it's the part every affiliate programme actually wants.
On mobile
Open the app → tap your profile picture
Tap the ⋯ or share icon → Copy link
💡 Don't have a username you recognise? Pinterest auto-generates one at signup (often
firstnamelastname123). Change it under Settings → Public profile → Username.
🛒 The "Mobile App URL" Question (Amazon Associates)
This is the single most confused Pinterest URL question, so let's be precise.
What Amazon is actually asking
When you apply to Amazon Associates, the form asks for websites and mobile apps where you'll place affiliate links.
🌐 Website URL
Any site or profile you publish on — this is where Pinterest goes
📱 Mobile App URL
An app you built and published to the App Store or Play Store
The answer
Put your Pinterest profile URL in the website field. Leave the mobile app field empty unless you personally publish an app.
⚠️ Pinterest's own App Store listing is not your mobile app URL. It belongs to Pinterest, not you. Entering it misrepresents what you own and is a common reason applications get rejected.
Before you apply
Amazon reviews the account you list. Make sure your Pinterest profile:
✅ Is public, not secret
✅ Has a real profile photo and bio
✅ Has several boards with actual pins — an empty profile gets declined
✅ Belongs to you and is active
💡 Also check the affiliate programme's own rules. Some allow direct affiliate links on pins; others require you to link to your own site first. Amazon's terms have changed on this more than once — read the current version rather than an old blog post.
📌 How to Get a Pin's URL
Desktop
Click the pin to open it — the URL bar shows the full pin URL. Or use Share → Copy link.
Mobile
Tap the pin → Share → Copy link. This gives you a pin.it short link, which works everywhere.
Which format should you use?
📥 Downloading with a tool
Either works
📊 Sharing publicly
pin.it — shorter, cleaner
🔧 Debugging or scripting
Full pinterest.com/pin/<id>/ — contains the pin ID
💡 Need the pin ID on its own? It's the long number in the full URL. Useful when working with the Pinterest API or reporting a specific pin to support.
📥 Using a Pinterest URL to Download
Every SortPin tool takes any of these formats.
Paste the URL → download
Send /pin <url>
No URL needed — download straight from the page

🔎 How to Find Someone Else's Pinterest URL
Open their profile
Copy the URL bar (desktop) or use Share → Copy link (mobile)
If you only have a username, the URL is predictable:
🔒 Private and deactivated profiles return an error. If a profile URL doesn't load, the account may be secret, suspended, or deleted — see account recovery.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
"My Pinterest URL shows a random number, not my name"
You haven't set a custom username yet. Settings → Public profile → Username. Changing it breaks any old links you've shared.
"The pin.it link doesn't work in my tool"
Short links redirect. Open the link in a browser first, then copy the full pinterest.com/pin/... URL from the address bar.
"My board URL has strange characters"
Pinterest slugifies board names — spaces become hyphens, and some punctuation is dropped. Copy the URL rather than typing it from the board title.
"The URL works for me but not for others"
The board or profile is secret. Only you and invited collaborators can open it.
"Which URL do I give a brand or sponsor?"
Your profile URL. It shows your full body of work rather than one pin.
❓ FAQs
Q: What is my Pinterest URL? A: https://www.pinterest.com/yourusername/. Find it by clicking your profile picture and reading the address bar, or by tapping Share → Copy link in the app.
Q: What is the Pinterest mobile app URL for Amazon Associates? A: There isn't one for you to give. The mobile app field is for apps you publish yourself. Put your Pinterest profile URL in the website field and leave the app field blank.
Q: How do I find my Pinterest URL on the app? A: Tap your profile picture → tap the share icon → Copy link.
Q: What does a Pinterest pin URL look like? A: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/510947520243497052/, or the short form https://pin.it/1I8EjfvXA.
Q: Can I change my Pinterest URL? A: Yes, by changing your username in Settings → Public profile. Old links will stop working, so update anywhere you've shared it.
Q: How do I get a Pinterest URL for a shortcut on my phone? A: Copy your profile URL, then use your browser's Add to Home Screen option. It opens Pinterest directly to that page.
Q: Why does my Pinterest link open the app instead of the browser? A: Mobile operating systems hand Pinterest links to the installed app by default. To force the browser, open the link in a private window or long-press and choose to open in the browser.
Q: Can I use a Pinterest URL to download an image or video? A: Yes. Paste it into the web downloader, or send /pin <url> to the Telegram bot.
