Pinterest

Pinterest is super popular when it comes to image-related social media, and for good reasons! Unlike Facebook or Instagram, this platform isn’t just about showing off your selfies or what you did today. It’s more like a treasure hunt for cool stuff on the web. When you find something that catches your eye, you pin it. This way, you can come back to it later or share it with friends who have similar interests.

Use Pinterest on Your Windows Desktop

The awesome news is that there’s now a Pinterest app for those of us who want to use it right from our Windows desktops. How cool is that?

Getting Started with Pinterest

If you're already familiar with Pinterest, using the app will feel pretty natural. But if you're new to it, don’t worry! It’s really easy to jump in. First, you'll need to create an account or just sign in using your Google or Facebook details. Then, you'll pick five interests that tell Pinterest what kind of images to show you on your homepage. These suggestions will change over time based on what you search for and any new interests you add.

Pinning Images and Creating Boards

When you spot an image you love, just click on it! You can save (or “pin”) it to a board—think of boards like categories where you can group pictures about the same topic. Feel free to create as many boards as you'd like and even organize them into sections!

Be Creative and Engage with Others

If you're a creative soul, why not create your own pins for others to enjoy? You can also follow profiles of other users! The platform has its own messaging system and notifications so you never miss out. Plus, there's an option for creating business accounts if that's your thing.

Missing Features in the Pinterest App

However, one feature that many users miss is the Download image button. It's currently not available in this app yet. Hopefully, they’ll add it soon because without this option, some might prefer going back to their browsers instead.

Enjoying Pinterest from Your Desktop

If all you're looking to do is pin images onto your boards without needing them saved on your computer—or if you want to add your own content—this app makes it super easy! You get all the fun of Pinterest right from the comfort of your desktop!
