How to Install the Pinterest Pin Stats Extension

Guide · 4 min read

Key takeaways
  • How do I install Pin Stats? Open the Pinterest Pin Stats & Sort listing on the Chrome Web Store, click Add to Chrome, then Add Extension in the confirmation popup. Once it installs, click the puzzle icon beside the address bar and pin the extension so it stays visible in your toolbar.
  • Which browsers does it work in? Chrome, and Chromium-based browsers that allow Chrome Web Store extensions: Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Arc and Opera. Edge and Opera need their “allow extensions from other stores” setting or add-on turned on first. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
  • Do I need an account to use it? No. There is no Pin Stats account and no sign-up. Being logged into your own Pinterest account gives the best experience, and the high-quality pin download button works without any login at all.
  • What do I see once it is installed? Saves, repins, likes, shares, comments and the creation date appear directly on each pin as you browse — on the home feed, search results, Idea Pins and pin detail pages — with nothing to click through.
  • What is the Pin Stats table for? Click the extension icon, then Open Pin Stats Table, to see every pin you have browsed in one place. The free version filters by stats, sorts by engagement or date, and searches by keyword; Autoscroll loads more pins for you while you work.
