Pinning into the void?

You create first and hope later

Hours on a pin, then you guess the title and description. If the keyword is wrong nobody ever sees it.

Pinterest Trends only tells you so much

Curves without numbers, and only for terms you already thought of. The keywords you never typed stay invisible.

The real tools cost real money

Dedicated Pinterest keyword tools run $29 or more per month. That is a lot for a solo blogger or a small shop.

Keyword Explorer gives you the same Pinterest keyword research power, from the browser you already pin in.

How it works

From one seed to a content plan in minutes

1

Type a seed keyword

Start with anything, like "home decor" or your niche. Autocomplete suggests real Pinterest searches as you type.

2

Get keywords with real volumes

The Explorer scans top-ranking pins and Pinterest's own data to surface the keywords around your niche. Flip on search volume to see monthly numbers, streamed live.

3

Pick winners and plan content

Filter for long-tail gems, check the boards, questions, and trending searches around your niche, then export to CSV or straight into Sheets.

Two speeds, one tool

Ideas mode

Instant brainstorming

Hundreds of keyword ideas in seconds, light on requests, perfect for daily use.

Research mode

Scored, ranked opportunities

Flip one switch and every keyword gets a real monthly search volume with score bars, so you can rank opportunities, not guess them.

What makes it different

Research that reads Pinterest, not guesses at it

Real numbers, straight from Pinterest

Most tools estimate Pinterest volumes from outside data. Keyword Explorer reads the same numbers Pinterest itself reports, so you research with the real thing.

See what winning pins rank for

Every search scans the top-ranking pins for your seed and extracts the exact keywords Pinterest attached to them. It is competitor research built in: see what the winners rank for, then take the underserved keywords for yourself.

One search, six keyword sources

Beyond keywords from top pins, the expansion rail surfaces related interests, related boards, questions pinners actually ask, trending searches, and Pinterest's own suggestions. One search maps your whole niche.

Top pins Related interests Related boards Questions Trending Suggestions

Go deeper on any keyword

Found a promising keyword? Drill into it with one click to pull in its own related keywords with volumes, and keep digging until you hit the long tail nobody else has found.

FAQ

Questions, answered

From Pinterest itself. The Explorer reads the interest data Pinterest reports for each keyword, so the numbers are Pinterest's own monthly search counts, not third-party estimates.

Safety is a core design rule. Requests are capped, spaced out, and back off automatically, and the fast Ideas mode uses only a handful of requests per search.

Just Chrome (or a Chromium browser), the InsightPins extension, and a Pinterest account you are logged into. No API keys, no spreadsheet uploads, no separate web app.

Trends shows curves for keywords you already know. Keyword Explorer discovers keywords you have not thought of and puts real monthly numbers next to each one.

Limited access to Keyword Explorer, enough to see exactly how it works: run a search, see the full keyword count and a preview of the results, with the rest locked. Premium plans unlock all volumes, the full expansion rail, drilling into any keyword for more related keywords, saved lists, refresh, and CSV export.

Yearly if Pinterest is part of your regular work, it is the best price per month. Lifetime if you never want another subscription. Monthly if you want to try a serious project first.

Keyword Explorer is included in the new plans on this page. Your current plan keeps everything it has today. To add Keyword Explorer, switch to one of these plans; the prices include every Premium feature plus the Explorer.

In your browser. Keywords, volumes, and pin stats are stored locally on your computer, not on our servers. The extension contacts our server to validate your license key.

Cancel anytime; you keep access until the period ends. And every plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Chrome and Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc) today. Other platforms are on the roadmap.
