How to Create a Pinterest Board and Save Pins

Tap through each step to see exactly how to create a Pinterest board.

  1. Tap the plus icon in Saved

    Go to your profile's "Saved" tab and tap the "+" button to start a new board.

  2. Name your board

    Give it a name that describes the topic, like "Home decor ideas" or "Travel destinations."

  3. Set it to public or secret

    If you do not want others to see it, you can set the board to "Secret."

  4. Save pins you like to the board

    Tap the save button on any pin and choose the board you want to add it to.

Stop losing track of ideas you find online

Every time you come across images you like for home decor, recipes, or fashion scattered across the internet, keeping them in topic-based boards lets you find your favorite ideas again in one place later.

A board can be a shared project, not just a personal scrapbook

Inviting collaborators in a board's settings lets those people add pins to the same board too. You can also upload your own photos through the "Create" menu to save as new pins.
