Sep 08 2025
Pinterest is a powerhouse for inspiration, creativity, and planning. Whether you're a casual user pinning home décor ideas or a content creator managing a digital vision board, the number of Pins can quickly become overwhelming. Fortunately, Pinterest offers several built-in features to help you bring structure and clarity to your saved content.
In this guide, you'll learn how to organize all your Pins efficiently in 2025 using the latest tools, tips, and Pinterest updates.
Why Pinterest Organization Matters
Keeping your Pinterest account organized helps you:
Quickly find Pins when you need them
Improve your visual strategy if you're using Pinterest for business
Avoid duplicate Pins and clutter
Create a cleaner, more professional-looking profile
Step-by-Step: How to Organize Your Pinterest Pins
1. Create Clear and Specific Boards
Start by reviewing your current boards. If they’re too broad, like “Ideas” or “Stuff I Like”—break them into more focused categories.
Example: Change "Recipes" to "Quick Dinners," "Vegan Desserts," or "Meal Prep."
How to do it:
Go to your profile
Click “Boards”
Select “Create Board”
Name it and set visibility (public or secret)
2. Use Sections Within Boards
Pinterest lets you add Sections inside boards to further categorize content.
Example: Within "Home Decor," add sections like “Living Room,” “Kitchen,” or “Color Palettes.”
Steps:
Open a board
Tap “+” > Choose “Section”
Name your section
Move relevant Pins into it
3. Sort and Move Pins
Organize misplaced Pins by moving them to the right boards.
How to move Pins:
Tap the Pin
Click the three dots (•••)
Select “Edit Pin”
Choose the correct board or section
Bulk moving is available on desktop:
Click “Organize” inside a board
Select multiple Pins
Click “Move” to transfer them
4. Archive Irrelevant Boards
If a board is outdated but you’re not ready to delete it, archive it. Archived boards are hidden from your public profile and won't appear in search.
Steps:
Open the board
Tap the three dots (•••)
Select “Archive”
5. Delete Duplicate or Irrelevant Pins
Clutter builds quickly. Regularly audit your boards and remove Pins that are irrelevant or duplicated.
Tip: Keep your boards fresh by deleting Pins that no longer inspire or serve a purpose.
6. Use the “Reorder” Feature
Want your best Pins at the top? You can now reorder Pins inside a board.
On desktop:
Open a board
Click “Organize”
Drag and drop Pins to your preferred order
7. Make Use of Secret Boards
Secret boards are ideal for organizing personal ideas or unfinished projects without sharing them publicly.
Use Cases: Gift planning, surprise parties, client work
8. Rename and Reorder Boards
Maintain a professional or theme-based aesthetic by naming and ordering your boards intentionally.
How to reorder:
Go to your profile
Tap and hold a board
Drag it to reposition it
9. Use Pinterest’s Search & Filter Tools
Find Pins quicker by using the search bar inside a board or filtering Pins by type (videos, products, etc.).
Tip: Use keywords and hashtags when saving Pins to improve searchability.
10. Automate with Pinterest Tools (For Business Users)
If you're managing a business or influencer profile, consider tools like:
Tailwind: Organize Pins, schedule posts, and manage boards
Pinterest Trends Tool: Find content ideas and structure boards accordingly
How can I back up important Pins before reorganizing my Pinterest boards?
Before you start deleting or moving Pins, it’s a smart idea to create backups of any important images or videos. You can do this easily using our intuitive Pinterest Video Downloader Pro. Simply copy the URL of the Pin you want to save, paste it into the downloader, and click “Download.” This allows you to store high-quality versions of your favorite Pins securely, so even if you reorganize or remove them later, you'll always have a copy for reference or reuse.
FAQs
Can I sort my Pins by date or popularity?
Currently, Pinterest does not offer automatic sorting by date or popularity, but you can manually reorder Pins within boards.
Can I merge two Pinterest boards?
While you can't merge boards directly, you can move all Pins from one board into another manually, then delete the extra board.
How many boards or sections can I have?
Pinterest allows up to 2,000 boards (including secret boards) and 500 sections per board.
Can I rename my boards without losing my Pins?
Yes, renaming a board does not affect the Pins inside it. Just click on the board, then tap the pencil/edit icon to change its name.
Can I hide or archive old boards without deleting them?
Absolutely. Pinterest allows you to archive boards, which hides them from your profile and stops recommendations based on that content.
