WHAT THE TOOLS DO
Thirteen tools. One extension.
Use the tool that matches the Pinterest research question you want to answer.
Top Annotations
Enter a keyword and find the top annotation labels from Pinterest's highest-performing pins in that niche. Each result shows the keyword, search volume, and the pin it came from — so you target SEO keywords that already rank.
Top Boards
Enter keywords and discover the top-ranking Pinterest boards for them. Results show board name, pin count, owner handle, and URL — built for competitor research and finding boards worth targeting.
Top Pins
Enter keywords and see the best-performing pins for them, ranked by saves. Each result shows the pin title, author, save count, and URL.
Search
Pinterest keyword research with two modes: Regular Search returns keyword suggestions for anything you type, and Seed Keywords expands one seed word into related keyword ideas with before/after/both range options.
Profile Pins
Enter any public Pinterest username and pull every pin from that profile. Study a creator's or competitor's full pin history in one place.
Find Competitor
Enter a name or username and discover the Pinterest accounts competing in your niche — so you always know who you're up against.
Pin Analyzer
Paste any pin URL and get its full breakdown: saves, repins, comments, shares, repin status, date, dominant color, title, and destination URL.
Compare Pins
Put up to 4 pin URLs side by side and compare their metrics directly — see which pin is actually winning on saves and engagement.
Compare Boards
Put up to 4 board URLs side by side and compare reach, followers, pin count, and activity — for benchmarking against competitors.
Account Explorer
Enter a username or pin URL and get a full Pinterest account analysis — boards, pins, followers, reach, and activity in one view.
Boards
Enter a username or pin URL and fetch every board that account owns, with pin counts — a quick way to map someone's board structure.
Annotations
Paste a pin URL and see the exact keyword annotations Pinterest assigned to that pin, with search-volume context — see how Pinterest categorizes it.
