Pinterest QR Code

What a Pinterest QR Code is and how it works

A Pinterest QR Code is a code with the address of a profile, a board or one pin written inside it. A person holds a phone up to the paper and is already looking at your collection: from there an idea is saved with a single tap, with no searching by name and no slips in it.

The idea is saved to their own board — and they come back to it later.

Here people save rather than follow

Someone takes the idea onto their own board and returns to it a month later — when the decorating, the dinner or the present finally comes round. That is why paper and Pinterest work as a pair: the catalogue stays in the hands, the idea goes into the phone. The QR Code is that bridge.

The kind of codeA static one leads where you typed and stays there. With a dynamic one the board behind the code is switched in your account — to the new season’s collection, say.

Comparison

What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR Code?

The same pattern on paper — different options once it is printed.

Static QR URL Analytics
  • A static code is tied to its link for good, and that link cannot be changed.
  • Analytics are not available for codes like this either.
Dynamic QR URL 1 URL 2 PDF Menu Analytics
  • The link or the file the code leads to can be changed at any moment.
  • Analytics show the number of scans, the countries and the devices.
  • You can set a password, an expiry date and a limit on how many people it lets in.

Styling

A QR Code in your brand colours

Add a logo, your brand colours and the shape of the elements — and the QR Code becomes part of your design on packaging, in a menu, on a business card or in a shop window.

What you can set in the editor above
  • Logo — upload your own file.
  • Colours — set the code, the background or a gradient.
  • Shape and eyes — choose the shape of the elements.
  • Frame — add a caption and set the style.
  • Preset — save the styling for your next QR Codes.
Where to use it

Where a Pinterest QR Code works best

Where paper lives a long time and is leafed through slowly: a catalogue, a magazine, the card inside a box. An idea off a page like that gets saved and returned to months later.

Product packaging

Behind the code is a board of ideas for using the thing: combinations, recipes, ways of putting it together. A purchase turns into a subscription and the box into the start of the next one.

A furniture and homeware catalogue

The person leafs through paper, marks what they like and saves it to a board — instead of dog-earing the pages. The catalogue itself is handed over as a PDF QR Code.

A maker’s business card

The portfolio that will not fit on a piece of card: a board of finished work opens from the code and is added to without reprinting anything. The contact details beside it are collected by a business card QR Code.

An exhibition and a fair

A visitor cannot carry the whole display home, but they will save the board and come back to it when the decorating or the present comes round.

The card in an order and a printed magazine

Where paper lives a long time: a magazine is leafed through for months, and the board behind the code keeps changing all that while.

Before you print

A short check while the catalogue is still out of the print shop

The whole board address

After the profile name it carries the name of the board — copy it from the browser instead of assembling it by hand.

The board has to be public

A secret board will not be seen from a code — open it, or send the code to another one.

A seasonal collection wants a dynamic code

A summer board on packaging looks odd in winter, and the code on it is the very same one.

A test on the catalogue’s paper

Matt paper and small print are the usual thing here: print a test page and point a camera at it.

Questions and answers

Common questions about Pinterest QR Codes

The short version of what people ask most: the board address, a single pin, the Pincodes that were discontinued, the app and swapping the board after printing.

No answer here? Write to us
How do I make a QR Code for Pinterest?
Paste the address of a profile, a board or a single pin into the generator above — or simply the profile name. What is left is choosing the kind of code, styling it in your brand colours and downloading it.
Should I paste the profile address or the name?
Either way works: an address of the pinterest.com/mybrand kind, or just the profile name. For a board, copy its address whole — after the name it carries the name of the board itself.
Can a QR Code lead to a board or to one pin?
Yes: the address of a board and of a single pin are both fine — the code opens exactly what you pasted.
Profile, board or pin — where should the QR Code lead?
On packaging and on the card in an order — to a board: the ideas there are gathered by theme and people stay a while. A business card or a fair is better off with the profile itself. A pin comes into its own when the story is short and single: a recipe, a diagram, a set of instructions.
Pinterest had codes of its own — do they still work?
It did; they were called Pincodes and are not made any more. This QR Code is an ordinary QR: any phone camera reads it, and it leads wherever you point it.
Will the page open in the Pinterest app?
If Pinterest is on the phone, the page opens in it — and a pin is saved to a board from there in one go. Without the app the phone shows it in a browser.
Do I need a Pinterest business account?
No. The code works with any public profile, board and pin. A business account is Pinterest’s own requirement — it is what lets the platform show you its statistics.
Do I need to sign up to make a Pinterest QR Code?
Not for a static QR Code: paste the address of the profile or the board, style it, download it. An account belongs to the dynamic kind — it is started when the board behind the code has to change with the season.
Can I swap the board behind the code after printing?
Yes, when the code is dynamic: the board behind it is switched in your account while the card in the box stays as it was. One and the same code leads first to a board of ideas and then to the page of new arrivals.
Pinterest is not our main network — what then?
Then point people at the shared page instead: a social media QR Code brings your profiles together as one list, and Pinterest sits in it as a single line, next to the website and the messenger.
Can I see how many times the code was scanned?
A dynamic one, yes: your account keeps a running count with the dates beside it. Saves and taps inside Pinterest are shown by its own statistics.
