How Does Pinterest Browser Button Work?

Pinterest is one of the most unique social networks meant for sharing and saving visual digital content. The platform offers many extension options meant to make the entire experience for users much better. For example, the browser button extensions (Pin In button) let you save a single image or multiple images while scrolling on your browser and Pin them straight to Pinterest. After adding the button, you’ll see a red P letter in the top part of your browser interface that you can click on and save Pins.

Instead of going back and forth to save images from the browser to Pinterest, this button serves as your shortcut and saves you time. In addition, it will help you pin all the inspiration you need to create the type of post for your account that will draw the attention of many other users.

Before you learn how to add a Pinterest button, we have to mention that the download process depends on the browser type. This button is recommended for two internet browsers, Chrome and Firefox; however, most people can also use it on Safari. So if you see error messages pop up when trying to install it, then it might mean that this Pin button isn’t suitable for your browser.

The Chrome browser enjoys widespread use, so many users are willing to add the “Pin It” button for easier use.

Open Google Chrome.
Click on the search bar and type in Chrome Web Store.

Tap on it, and you’ll see additional details about this extension, its purpose, etc. Then click on the blue Add to Chrome button in the top-right corner of the screen.
Confirm that you want to add the extension and wait for the download to finish. Once it does, the button icon will appear in the top right part of your browser.

Another route to take is the following one:
