Adding Pinterest Save buttons

Encourage visitors to share your content on Pinterest.

Last updated March 20, 2024

Add Save buttons to your site to encourage visitors to share your content on Pinterest. Save buttons appear when hovering over images in image blocks, products, blog posts, and certain gallery blocks.

Before you begin

  • By enabling Save buttons, you agree to Pinterest's developer terms.
  • Pins from a blog page are more likely to show an accurate image when a visitor pins from the individual post, rather than the main blog page. You can encourage this by using excerpts.
  • If a product in a pin has price variants, the lowest price will display in the pin.

Where Save buttons display

When enabled, Save buttons can display over:

  • Image blocks in blog posts and layout pages
  • Gallery blocks in blog posts (Slideshow, Stacked, and Grid designs)
  • Gallery blocks in layout pages (version 7.0 only)
  • Images in store pages

Save buttons never display over:

  • Any images smaller than 119px × 119px 
  • Images added to portfolio pages and sub-pages
  • Image lightboxes
  • Gallery page images
  • Gallery blocks using the Carousel design
  • Gallery section images
  • Product block images
  • Summary block images
  • Videos added to gallery pages, gallery blocks, or video blocks
