Show your Pinterest boards on your website
If you sell something people plan around, there is a good chance you already keep a Pinterest board for it. A florist pins this season’s arrangements. A wedding planner has a board per style. A kitchen fitter collects finished jobs. Those boards get updated because Pinterest makes it easy, and the website, where people actually decide to book you, falls behind.
As of today, TileSet can show those Pins on your site. You paste a profile or board link, pick a layout, and paste one snippet into your page. When you pin something new, it shows up on the site at the next update.
What you can do with it
- Put a board of your recent work on the homepage, as a grid, a carousel, a masonry wall or a bento layout.
- Show a whole profile, or just one board, such as “Spring weddings” on the weddings page and “Kitchens” on the kitchens page.
- Let every tile link back to its Pin on Pinterest, so visitors who like what they see can save it.
- Turn captions on to show each Pin’s title and description, or keep the wall to pictures only.
- Put your Pins in the same widget as your other sources with a mixed feed (Starter and up), or as a posts block on your Link in bio page.
You can also let your AI agent set it up. This is the prompt we tried against TileSet’s MCP server, with the agent making the setup_widget call it leads to:
- “Show the Pins from pinterest.com/yourname/ on my homepage with TileSet.”
The agent connects the profile, creates a feed grid widget on it and hands back the snippet, in one step.
Who this is for
Businesses whose work is visual and whose customers already use Pinterest to plan: florists, bakers, interior designers, photographers, venues, makers who sell their own products. If your board is where your best pictures already live, this saves you uploading them a second time.
It works for agencies too. A client keeps pinning, and the site keeps up without a ticket to you.
How to set it up
- Sign in to TileSet with Google. The free plan needs no card.
- Open Sources, press Add source and pick Pinterest. Or paste the link into Paste any link at the top, and TileSet works out that it is a Pinterest profile or board.
- Paste a profile link (pinterest.com/name/), a board link (pinterest.com/name/board-name/) or type @name. Any country’s Pinterest address works, like uk.pinterest.com.
- Create a widget on the source. Choose the layout, the number of columns and how many Pins to show. The preview is what your visitors will see.
- Copy the snippet from the widget’s Install tab into your page, then press Check my page to confirm it is in place.
A few links cannot work, and TileSet says so when you paste them: a single Pin, a section inside a board, a pin.it short link or a secret board. Paste the profile or board link instead.
What it shows
The 24 newest Pins from the profile or board, each with the Pin’s picture at 736 px wide. A tile carries the small Pinterest icon in its corner by default; the Platform icon setting turns that off. A video Pin shows its picture, without playback. Save and comment counts are not shown.
Why you can trust it
There is nothing to authorize. TileSet reads the public feed Pinterest publishes for every profile and board, the same Pins anyone sees when signed out. We never ask for your Pinterest password and hold no token for it.
If a board is deleted or made secret, the source row in your dashboard says so, and the widget keeps showing the last Pins it had. Your page never shows an error box.
Each update costs 1 credit. On the free plan a Pinterest source updates daily at the fastest; on Starter and up it can update every hour. Page views are never counted, so a busy week on your site costs nothing extra.
For a lot of small businesses the Pinterest board is the most up-to-date picture of their work. Now the website can be just as current, without anyone uploading the same photo twice.
