How to switch accounts on Pinterest?

Aug 09 2025

Juggling multiple Pinterest accounts? Manage personal boards, business profiles, and client portfolios effortlessly. Pinterest allows easy switching between up to four linked accounts, eliminating constant logouts. This guide delivers step-by-step instructions to link/unlink profiles, switch instantly on mobile or desktop, merge accounts securely, organize efficiently with pro tactics, and master multi-account management in minutes.

Separate Personal & Business Content
Maintaining distinct personal and business accounts helps keep your boards, pins, and analytics organized. You can tailor your content strategy to each audience without confusion.
Manage Multiple Brands
If you’re a social media manager or agency, linking multiple client accounts under one device simplifies daily management. Instead of merging accounts (which Pinterest does not support), you can switch instantly.
Streamlined Workflow
Quickly toggle between accounts to post fresh pins, respond to comments, or analyze performance without repeated logouts. This saves time and maintains momentum when you’re curating or creating content.

Open the Pinterest App and log into your primary account.
Tap your Profile Icon (bottom right).
Tap the Menu (••• or gear icon) in the top right corner.
Select Settings → Account Settings → Add account.
Enter the email address/username and password of the second account you want to link.
Tap Log In. You’ll now see both accounts linked under your profile.

Log in at Pinterest.com with your primary account.
Click the downward caret (▼) next to your profile picture in the top right corner.
Select Add account from the dropdown.
Enter your other account’s email/username and password, then click Log In.
Both accounts will now appear under the same user icon.

Once you are logged in and have multiple accounts linked, click the downward caret (▼) next to your profile avatar again.
Under Switch accounts, click the username of the account you want to access.
Pinterest will reload, and you’ll see the selected account’s home feed, boards, and settings.

If you no longer wish to link a second account, you can unlink it:

Open Settings → Account Settings → Linked accounts.
Tap the trash icon or Unlink next to the account you want to remove.
Confirm by tapping Unlink again. The unlinked account will no longer appear in the switcher menu.

Click the downward caret (▼) next to your avatar and choose Account settings.
Scroll to Linked accounts and click Unlink next to the account you want to remove.
Confirm by selecting Yes, Unlink. The removed account is now fully unlinked.

Account Merging: Pinterest does not support merging two accounts. To preserve content, manually transfer your top boards by repinning to the other account or saving high-value links offline.
Consistent Branding: Use consistent profile images and bio structures across accounts to ensure you can quickly identify and manage each profile.
Password Management: Use a password manager to securely store and autofill multiple login credentials, saving you time when linking or switching accounts.
Notifications: Under Settings → Notifications, choose which account receives push or email alerts to prevent confusion when managing multiple profiles.
