Install BulkoPin, open a Pinterest board, and watch the files land.

Every screen you meet, in the order you meet them. All you need is Chrome and a free BulkoPin account; your Pinterest password is never part of it.

One run, screen by screen.

Every still below is labelled. A capture is the product as it actually renders; a drawing is a window that belongs to Chrome or to Pinterest.

  1. Step 1Drawing

    Add BulkoPin to Chrome

    The listing opens in the Chrome Web Store. Press Add to Chrome, read the permission summary Chrome puts in front of you, and confirm. That is the whole install.

    Download and export Pinterest boards, profiles and search results as ZIP, PDF or CSV.

  2. Step 2Drawing

    Pin the mark to your toolbar

    Chrome files new extensions under the puzzle-piece menu. Open it once, pin BulkoPin, and the mark sits next to the address bar on every tab from then on.

  3. Step 3Drawing

    Open a board and click the mark

    Sign in to BulkoPin once, with Google or a one-time email link. Then open any Pinterest board, profile or search you can already see and click the mark. BulkoPin opens in a window of its own beside Pinterest and names the page you were on.

  4. Step 4Capture

    Choose what you are taking

    Filter to images or video, set a minimum width in pixels, then press Select all or tick the pins one at a time. The count in brackets on every download button follows your selection.

  5. Step 5Capture

    Pick how it comes out

    One row along the bottom of the window: straight into a folder, one ZIP, a PDF contact sheet, or a metadata file on its own. The four are laid out side by side further down this page.

  6. Step 6Capture

    Start it and watch it go

    BulkoPin connects, scans the page, then collects the images. A bar across the bottom counts the files as they land. Pause it, stop it, or walk away; whatever is already saved stays saved.

Same run, different delivery.

The buttons all sit in the same row. What changes is what you end up holding afterwards.

Files, already sorted

On every plan

Every image and video is written straight into your browser's download directory as its own file, under a folder named after the board, profile or search you ran. Nothing to unpack.

You end up with

Downloads/BulkoPin/…/Image/

Where the files land.

Folder mode writes into your browser's own download directory, under one root, split by source and by media type. Here is the shape of it.

The middle folder is named after the board, profile or search you ran. index.md is always written; manifest.csv appears when the CSV sidecar is switched on in settings.

Example

  • Downloads/
    • BulkoPin/
      • Autumn palette/
        • Image/
          • warm-oak-hallway.jpg
          • linen-and-clay.jpg
        • Video/
          • slow-pour-coffee.mp4
        • manifest.csv
        • index.md
    • bulkopin-1755612480000.zipZIP mode drops a single archive next to that root instead.

In the extension, images travel from Pinterest's own servers into your browser and are packaged on your device. The bytes never pass through a BulkoPin server.

Where BulkoPin stops.

The walkthrough is short because the privacy model is short. These four hold on every screen above.

What it asks Chrome for

  • storage
  • scripting
  • downloads
  • tabs
  • alarms
  • offscreen
  • unlimitedStorage
  • contextMenus

Optional, and only if you switch notifications on: notifications

The whole list, straight from what the extension declares. Neither cookies nor identity is on it.

  • We never see your Pinterest password

    The extension works through the Pinterest tab you are already signed in to. It does not request the cookies or identity Chrome permissions.

  • It only works on content you can already see

    If your Pinterest session can render it, BulkoPin can package it. If it cannot, BulkoPin cannot.

  • Runs start when you press something

    You click, a run happens, then it stops. There is no always-on background automation and no scanning you did not ask for.

  • Parallel runs still respect Pinterest's limits

    Lifetime

    Running several boards, profiles or searches side by side does not mean hammering Pinterest. The engine paces every request and slows itself down when Pinterest pushes back.

Now run one yourself.

Add the extension, sign in once, and take a board end to end.
