From Pinterest Boards to Searchable Library
How to import your saved Pinterest pins into Photo Collage and make them searchable with AI.
Pinterest is great for discovering images, but finding a specific pin later can be frustrating. Boards get long, search is limited, and you can't search across boards by what's actually in the image. Photo Collage fixes that.
Connect your Pinterest account
Head to the Pinterest section in the sidebar and connect your account. This uses Pinterest's official API — we get read-only access to your public boards and pins, and you can disconnect at any time.
Choose boards to import
Once connected, you'll see a list of your boards. Select the ones you want to import — you can pick individual boards or import everything. Each pin's image gets downloaded and added to your Photo Collage library.
AI analysis happens automatically
As pins are imported, each image goes through the same AI analysis pipeline as any upload. The vision model reads the image, generates a description, and creates a searchable embedding. Within moments, your Pinterest pins are fully searchable by visual content.
Search across everything
Here's where it gets powerful: once imported, Pinterest pins live alongside all your other images. A search for "minimalist kitchen design" will return results from your Pinterest imports, your uploaded photos, and any other source — all in one unified library.
No more switching between Pinterest search and your local files. Your entire visual reference library is in one place, searchable by meaning.
Keep your boards synced
New pins saved to connected boards can be re-imported with a click. Photo Collage tracks what's already been imported and only pulls in new pins, so there's no duplication.
For content creators who save dozens of pins daily, this turns Pinterest from a passive inspiration tool into an active, searchable resource.
