Open Pinterest links in the app
Paste a Pinterest URL and get a link that opens the Pinterest app instead of the browser — with a web fallback for everyone else.
Free forever. No login. Works with pinterest.com links.
Which Pinterest links work
toThe.App recognises links on pinterest.com, pinterest.co.uk, and other pinterest.* domains. These URL shapes are handled:
- https://www.pinterest.com/USERNAME/
- https://www.pinterest.com/pin/PIN_ID/
On iPhone
User profile URLs open to the profile in the app.
On Android
The Pinterest app opens when it is installed, and the browser takes over when it is not.
Known limitations
No link can force a phone to open an app. These are the cases where a Pinterest link falls back to the web:
- Individual pins and boards are not covered by the user scheme and fall back to the web on iOS.
- pin.it short links are not recognised — expand them first.
Questions
How do I make a Pinterest link open in the app?
Paste the Pinterest URL into the generator above and select Make short link. Share the result. On a phone with Pinterest installed, the link offers to open the app; otherwise it continues to the Pinterest website.
Which Pinterest URLs are supported?
Links on pinterest.com, pinterest.co.uk, and other pinterest.* domains are recognised. Typical shapes: https://www.pinterest.com/USERNAME/ · https://www.pinterest.com/pin/PIN_ID/.
What happens on iPhone?
User profile URLs open to the profile in the app.
What happens on Android?
The Pinterest app opens when it is installed, and the browser takes over when it is not.
Why did the Pinterest app not open?
The device makes the final call. Common reasons: the app is not installed, the specific URL type is not covered (Individual pins and boards are not covered by the user scheme and fall back to the web on iOS.), or the link was tapped inside another app's in-app browser, which will not hand off to a native app. The web fallback always works.
