The Complete Guide to Pinterest-to-Figma Plugins in 2026

A head-to-head comparison of Pinner, Pinpasta, Pinora, Pinterest Importer, and html.to.design — tested for real design workflows.

Getting inspiration from Pinterest into Figma should be a five-second job. For most designers, it isn’t.

Between browser extensions that break, credit meters that run out mid-project, and boards you can’t even access without making them public, the workflow has more friction than it should. With five notable tools now competing for this niche, the choice is no longer obvious — and the wrong one will cost you time every single day.

This guide cuts through the noise. We compared each plugin on the things that actually matter: how the import works, what it can’t do, and who it’s genuinely built for.

The Different Approaches

Not all Pinterest-to-Figma plugins work the same way under the hood, and that difference matters more than the feature list suggests.

• Fully in-Figma (authenticated): Pinner connects directly to Pinterest’s API — no browser extension, no scraping, no middleman. Your credentials stay with Pinterest.
• Fully in-Figma (basic): Pinterest Importer works inside Figma too, but uses a credit-per-pin model and only accesses public boards.
• Extension-assisted: Pinpasta and Pinora require a companion browser extension to scrape pin URLs from Pinterest, then paste that data into the Figma plugin. Two apps in play instead of one.
• Web capture: html.to.design treats Pinterest like any other website — it captures what’s currently visible on screen, HTML structure and all.

Quick Comparison Table

Pinner

Pricing: Free trial (watermarked) / $8 one-time license
Best for: Professional designers, agencies, and teams working with evolving or private boards

What makes it different

• Re-sync: When a board changes — new pins added, old ones deleted — Pinner can update your existing import without starting over. No other plugin in this category does this.
• Private board access: Pinner performs a one-time authentication with Pinterest, so everything is one-click away inside Figma, including private boards.
• Handles scale: Large boards load reliably (we tested a board with over 1000+). Other tools tend to stall or drop pins at volume.
• Auto Layout integration: Pins land in properly sized frames with layout options you can configure upfront.
• Board sub-sections: Sections land in nested Auto-Layout frames, labeled with subsection names.
• Color palette extraction: Pins can be imported with a color fill, image fill, or both, where the fill color is extracted from the pin’s dominant color.

The honest take

Pinner feels like a native Figma integration, getting your Pinterest boards into Figma cleanly, at scale, with an ongoing connection. The trial lets you test every feature — including large board handling — before you spend anything, which is rare in this space. The sync feature can be especially useful for teams working together on shared boards, allowing designers to get started in Figma while others are still gathering inspiration.

The watermarking slows imports significantly, but other than speed, you can test how it performs on your actual boards before committing.

Best for: Professional design studio teams with private client boards, large inspiration libraries, or ongoing projects where boards evolve during the design process. Particularly valuable for agencies where IT policies restrict browser extensions.

Pinpasta

Pricing: Free (30 images per paste) / $29.99 one-time
Best for: Individual designers who want a straightforward copy-paste workflow

What makes it different

• Works via a browser extension available for Chrome and Firefox — not Chrome only.
• Copies all pin URLs from a board to your clipboard in one click, then you paste into the Figma plugin.
• Supports pin selection from sub-boards.
• Pro version removes the 30-image limit and adds ZIP download.

The honest take

Pinpasta has been around a bit longer. The workflow is two steps: copy in the browser, paste in Figma. It’s not seamless, but fairly predictable.

The 30-image cap on the free tier is tight for real professional moodboard work. If you need a quick 30 pins and don’t want to pay for a plugin, this seems right for the job. However, the lifetime upgrade for $29.99 only buys you unlimited pins without other advanced functionality offered by other plugins. For us, installing a third-party browser extension is the real deal-breaker because of the massive security hole it creates, where it’s best to take security a bit more seriously where AI has significantly lowered the bar for bad actors.

Best for: Casual Figma users who need a quick 30 pins without paying for a license.

📌Pinora

Pricing: Free (basic) / $52 one-time
Best for: Designers who primarily need bulk image extraction for offline use

What makes it different

• Scrapes board data via a browser extension and interprets it in a companion Figma plugin — nearly identical architecture to Pinpasta.
• Bulk ZIP download is the headline feature.

The honest take

Pinora and Pinpasta are nearly identical under the hood. Both rely on a browser extension to scrape your Pinterest board, and both route that data through a companion Figma plugin. The architecture is the same; the price is not — Pinora costs $52 versus Pinpasta’s $29.99, without a clear feature advantage to justify the gap.

Like all extension-based tools, it requires permissions to read your active browser tabs — again, a meaningful consideration if you work in a security-conscious environment. As with Pinpasta, the potential extension-based vulnerability that could expose all other websites visited makes this plugin hard to justify.

Best for: Those who prefer this tool’s UI over Pinpasta’s.

Pinterest Importer

Pricing: 25 free credits, then:
$30 → 500 credits (6¢ per pin)
$50 → 1,000 credits (5¢ per pin)
Best for: One-off imports of small public boards

What makes it different

• Preserves your Pinterest board structure and section organization inside Figma.
• Animated GIFs claim to stay animated in FigJam.
• Dominant color extraction.
• Largest usership on Figma community.

The honest take

This plugin was the first on the scene and uses a per-pin credit model. Importing a 200-pin board costs roughly $12–$16 dollars. Re-importing that same board because it changed — or because you want to add newly saved pins — costs the same again. There’s no re-sync, and private boards require you to make them temporarily public, which may be a real friction point for client work.

For a one-time, small-scale import of a public board, the 25 free credits cover you. For anything ongoing or larger, the costs can add up quickly.

Best for: Designers who need to import up to 25 pins once, or who specifically need board sections and GIF support in FigJam.

html.to.design

Pricing: Free (10 imports / 30 days) / $10/month Pro
Best for: Teams who regularly import full web pages into Figma — not specifically Pinterest

What makes it different

• Captures any website — not limited to Pinterest.
• Multi-viewport: imports desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts separately.
• Converts HTML structure into Figma layers and components with Auto Layout.
• AI-powered image upscaling on Pro.

The honest take

This plugin was built for converting web pages into editable Figma files — and it does that very well. Pinterest just happens to be a website it can visit.

The catch for Pinterest use: Pinterest loads via infinite scroll, so the plugin only captures what’s already on your screen. You won’t get the full board — just whatever had rendered before you triggered the capture. You’ll also import Pinterest’s surrounding UI: the nav, ads, and page chrome that you’ll need to clean up manually. It’s not a fair critique of the plugin — it wasn’t designed for this — but it’s worth knowing upfront.

Best for: Designers who want to capture the Pinterest layout along with the pins and maintain Pinterest’s iconic masonry layout, or who need to import other websites into Figma alongside their Pinterest work.
