Organise and verify Pinterest pins
Group pins by project and check the original source before acting on an image.

The answer in 30 seconds
An attractive image does not establish the author, accuracy or availability of the item shown. A pin is a starting point for investigation.
Create a focused project board, open each useful pin’s source and record why it matters. Read current visibility rules for your account type.
Examples to adapt
Verify the exact reference and current destination rather than assuming availability.
Search the title or image to investigate provenance before reuse.
Follow the method
- 1Define the project
Choose useful criteria, such as dimensions or technique, rather than collecting unrelated images.
- 2Open the source
Check the creator, date, product or method on the linked site. Inspect unexpected redirects carefully.
- 3Choose visibility
Read current profile and board options for the actual personal or business account. Shared boards deserve a separate audience check.
- 4Secure the account
Use a unique password and the available stronger authentication. Verify the domain before signing in.
- 5Maintain the collection
Remove true duplicates, check old links and add a short note explaining why each useful reference is retained.
