How to install Pinterest on your PC

We’ve mentioned this one before, but we’ll say it again. Pinterest is a Windows 10 Store app, which means it’s only accessible via Windows Store. Although “traditionalists” might find this somewhat annoying, it’s actually a great thing, especially for beginners.

For once, you don’t need to go to great lengths to install it on the target PC. There’s also no installer involved, and no downloading required. You just have to navigate to the product’s store page, hit the Get button, then the Install one.

In a few moments, the app will be deployed on your PC, and ready to be used. No additional assistance is required on your side during the setup, so you’ll just need to wait for the installation to complete.

Simplistic interface

We didn’t expect any less from Pinterest since it’s actually a wrapper for the Pinterest website. Aside from a title bar and a Back, button, the Pinterest app doesn’t come with an actual interface of its own.

Instead, it brings you the same, unaltered Pinterest experience that the website does. The bottom line is that if you’re familiar with the Pinterest website, you’ll have absolutely no trouble interacting with the app.

How to use Pinterest

After installing the app, you can launch it straight from the Store app by hitting its Launch button. Alternatively, you can probably find it in your Start menu. Once you’re in the app, you’ll be prompted to log into your Pinterest account. If you didn’t create one already, you can do so from the app.

You can use this app in the exact same way you’d be using the website. That means you can explore Pinterest, create collections of what piques your interest, share them with others, pin articles to your account, and even collaborate with your peers if you want to engage in a joint project.

What is Pinterest used for?

We’ve talked an awful lot about this app and how you can use it as effectively as possible. However, there’s a slight chance you never heard of Pinterest and as a result, don’t know what you’re missing out on.

Here’s a list of stuff you can find or do on Pinterest, for your convenience:

As you can see, Pinterest is actually a hub for various ideas, tips, or handy information, that lets you access and organize tons of items in a quick, seamless manner. The only drawback is that you can’t access it properly without an account.

Lightweight Pinterest app for Windows 10

All things considered, if you’re a huge fan of Pinterest and want to be able to access it without a web browser, you’re in luck. Pinterest (the app) is here to help you do just that. It’s entirely free to use, but you’ll have to create an account if you want to use it.

More so, given that it’s a Windows 10 Store app, you can install it on the target computer quite easily. Last, but not least, you’ll need an Internet connection to use this app, since its purpose is to grant you access to the Pinterest website.

FAQ: learn more about Pinterest

Yes, both the website and the application are entirely free to use. Besides creating an account, there’s absolutely no other requirement for you to start using either one of them.

We’d like to say yes, but in fact, like any other similar service, it might take a bit of getting used to. So our advice is to take your time and try to enjoy your Pinterest experience. You can’t go wrong with that.

Unfortunately, that’s the only requirement you’ll need to meet if you want to use Pinterest without any restriction. The app won’t let you in unless you sign in to your Pinterest account, and the website will prompt you with nag screens and block content until you do so.
