How BulkoPin compares, and how we checked.
Two things are being compared here: what each tool can reach, and where your files are put together. The table summarises six named tools. Everything under it is the method that produced the summary, including the parts that limit it.

Two routes a pin can take.
Most of the table follows from one structural difference, and it is not a feature. Either the work happens inside the browser you are already signed into, or it happens on a machine belonging to somebody else and the files travel back to you afterwards.
Browser-first: how BulkoPin works
No third-party machine in the path
Pinterest, in your own tab
The board, profile or search result you already have open and can already see.
BulkoPin, inside your browser
The extension reads that page and collects the media addresses Pinterest already served to it.
Your Downloads folder
Files are written to your disk, as a ZIP archive or straight into a folder you pick.
Hosted: how a paste-a-link service works
One extra machine holds your files on the way
A link you paste
Their server fetches and packages it
A download the service generates
Your Downloads folder
- What is asked of you
- The Pinterest session you are already signed into, and never your password. BulkoPin has no password field, so there is nothing for it to see.
- Where files are built
- On your own machine. The archive, the folder and the metadata file are assembled in the browser, and we keep no copy of what passes through.
- What you are left with
- Ordinary files in your own Downloads folder. Nothing expires, and no account is needed to open them again later.
Every boundary this route depends on is written down rather than implied:PrivacyTermsCopyright contactRefunds
What differs, capability by capability.
The BulkoPin column is read out of the code that enforces it. The right-hand column summarises the same six tools throughout, taken from what each one publishes about itself. Every summarising word is defined under the table.

What the words mean
All values checked July 22, 2026
- Yes
- We found it in most of the six.
- Rare
- We found it in two or fewer of the six.
- Varies
- The six behave differently, with no majority either way.
- None found
- We found it in none of the six on the date shown.
- Often unclear
- Most of the six do not state it either way.
- Lifetime
- Included with BulkoPin's one-time Lifetime purchase. Anything not marked this way is on the free plan too.
These words summarise six named tools on one date. They are not statistics about every Pinterest downloader in existence, and they describe what each tool publishes about itself rather than what its code does.
For the record, the free plan's own limit: up to 50 pins in any rolling 24 hours, counted backwards from each export rather than reset at midnight. Lifetime removes that limit. Neither plan gates CSV, JSON or Markdown metadata, and neither gates video or GIF. Two narrower differences do exist: Markdown's full column set, and the metadata.json file written inside an archive, are Lifetime.
Six tools, each described from its own site as it stood on the day that tool was checked; the date under each one is its own. Every one of them does something we do not, and that is said plainly below.
PinDownCloud
pindowncloud.com
An extension that hands your board to PinDownCloud's own servers, which fetch the media and email you a ZIP when it is finished. Signing in with Google, Microsoft or Apple is required before anything runs.
The work happens on their machines, ours happens on yours. That is a real trade and it cuts both ways: their approach survives you closing the laptop, and it means your board passes through a third party. Neither is strictly better; they answer different worries.
Its answer about watermarks refuses to promise what the category usually promises: it says they are “part of the original image file” and that it cannot remove them. Declining an easy claim is worth noting.

Unpinned
uninspired.app
A browser extension from Uninspired Studio that turns an open board into a ZIP. Free to try, then six euros a month or fifty a year.
Both of us run inside the browser rather than on a server, so the shapes are close. Where we part company is the price model: theirs recurs, ours does not.
Alone among the six, it publishes refund terms a buyer can actually act on, and it honours the statutory EU and UK withdrawal right. Note the carve-outs: no change of mind, and nothing once an account has downloaded pins.

PinBoard
getpinboard.com
A desktop program for macOS, Windows and Linux. You paste a board address into the app and it writes the files to a folder. Ten dollars, once, to lift the free tier's ceiling.
Installing a program is a bigger commitment than adding an extension, and it buys something back: nothing depends on a browser tab staying open. We chose the smaller commitment, which is a preference rather than a verdict.
A single payment with no subscription attached, and the figure was confirmable at a real checkout rather than only on a marketing page.

Pinpasta
pinpasta.hehe.studio
An extension plus a Figma plugin, built by a branding studio. It pulls a board's images and drops them onto a Figma or FigJam canvas. Thirty-nine dollars, discounted to twenty-nine by the site itself.
Its destination is a design canvas; ours is your disk. If the next thing you do is arrange a moodboard with a team, that hand-off is the whole point and we do not have it.
Its terms state the position before you pay rather than after: “all purchases are final and no refunds are provided.” Saying so up front beats saying nothing.

KlickPin
klickpin.com
A web page you paste a Pinterest address into, paid for by advertising, with companion add-ons for Chrome, Firefox and Edge. No sign-up of any kind.
For one item it asks less of you than we do: nothing to install, nothing to join. What it does not offer is a whole board in one run, which is the job we were built for.
Free with no account, and its own terms say so affirmatively rather than leaving it implied. It also states it never asks for Pinterest login details.

PinDown
pindown.io
Another paste-a-link page, also advertising-funded, published in twenty-six languages. There is no account system at all; the sign-up and login addresses simply do not exist.
Same shape as the tool half of this site, and honestly quicker to reach, because we ask you to install an extension for the part it does not attempt. Different scopes, not a better and a worse.
Measured rather than quoted: from a cold anonymous session one request returned working links in under a second. The promise on the page matched what happened.

How this comparison was made.
This page is published by one of the products in the table, so the method matters more than the conclusion. Here it is in full, including what it cannot tell you.

How we checked
- Each tool's own live pages: what it says it does, what it charges, and which browsers it names.
- Its published legal documents, read in full: terms, privacy policy, copyright notice and refund policy, wherever each one exists.
- Its Chrome Web Store listing, where it has one, for install and rating counts exactly as the store reported them.
- Archived snapshots of the site and public domain-registration records, used to date each product rather than trusting the age of its domain name.
- No account was created, no purchase was made and no form was submitted on any of the six.
Where BulkoPin's own figures come from
The BulkoPin column is read out of the code that enforces it rather than out of our own marketing: the daily limit from the database function that counts exports, the plan gates from the checks the extension runs before an export begins. Capacity is measured rather than advertised.
- 50,000pins in a repeated soak test of the scanner
- 41,367pins or more on one real board, scanned from start to finish
Those are the two largest runs on record. They measure capacity. They are not an allowance you are sold, and they are not a promise about your own board.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- It is a snapshot. All six change their products and their prices without telling us, so read every value as true on the date shown and not after it.
- Some figures are self-reported. Where a tool states its own user count or its own speed, we record it as that tool's claim, not as something we measured.
- Some pages could not be read. One of the six renders its privacy policy with client-side code that our request never received, so we record it as unread rather than as missing.
- Six is a sample, not a market. A word like Rare describes those six tools and nothing beyond them.
- We are not a neutral party. We make one of the products in the table. That is why the sample, the date and the method are on this page instead of in a footnote.
Check it against a board you actually use.
The free plan is enough to test every row above on your own boards: up to 50 pins in any rolling 24 hours, and no card.
