What Is a Pinterest Deep Link?

Pinterest is a visual discovery engine where people plan, save, and buy, pinning recipes, outfits, home ideas, and products they fully intend to act on. That high purchase intent is exactly why mobile friction stings: tap a plain pinterest.com link shared off-platform and you often land in a logged-out web view, unable to save the pin or tap through to the source.

A Pinterest deep link removes that drag. Instead of sharing a raw pinterest.com URL, you share a short LinkTwin link. When a pinner taps it on their phone, LinkTwin sees the Pinterest app is installed and hands them right into it, opening the exact pin, board, or profile, where they’re already signed in and ready to save, follow, or click straight through to buy.

When the app isn’t on that device, the link simply opens pinterest.com in the browser instead. Because shoppers reach Pinterest with real buying intent, keeping them inside the smooth in-app experience, rather than a clumsy web page, protects every save and outbound click. One branded short link works in a bio, a blog post, an email, or a cross-post.

The Problem

Why Pinterest Links Lose Shoppers on Mobile

A plain pinterest.com link shared elsewhere usually opens in an in-app or mobile web browser, not the Pinterest app. With a high-intent audience, that friction quietly costs you saves, follows, and outbound clicks to your shop.

A plain Pinterest link A LinkTwin deep link
Opens in a logged-out mobile web view Lands inside the Pinterest app, already signed in
Persistent “open in app” banners to fight past Drops the visitor on the exact pin or board
Can’t save the pin or follow without signing in again One tap to save, follow, or click through to buy
Loses outbound clicks to your shop or blog Browser fallback when the app isn’t installed
No data on how many pinners actually clicked Full click, country and device analytics

How to Create a Pinterest Deep Link

No code, no setup. From an ordinary Pinterest URL to an app-opening short link in well under a minute.

  1. Copy your Pinterest URL

    Grab the link to any pin, board, or profile from Pinterest’s share button or your browser’s address bar.

  2. Paste it into LinkTwin

    Drop the URL into the generator above. LinkTwin spots the Pinterest link and prepares the matching iOS and Android app handoff.

  3. Get your smart short link

    You receive a short, shareable link. Brand it with your own domain or a custom alias like /fall-recipes if you want.

  4. Share it anywhere

    Add it to your bio, blog, email, or other socials. Every tap opens the Pinterest app when possible, and every tap is tracked.

Paste a link from any of these addresses and LinkTwin opens it in the Pinterest app. When the app is not there, the same page opens in the browser, so the link never breaks.

TikTok never lets a link out on its own, so LinkTwin shows a short guide to TikTok's own Open in browser, two taps away. On X, it takes one tap on iPhone, and app links open directly on Android. If an app is not installed, the visitor gets the normal web page.

Who Uses Pinterest Deep Links

Anyone driving shopping or discovery traffic to Pinterest benefits from app-direct links and click data.

  • Real-time clicksSee total and unique clicks update live as pinners tap your links.
  • Geo & deviceBreak clicks down by country, city, OS and device to learn where your pinners come from.
  • Source attributionTag links per pin or campaign to see whether your blog, email, or other socials drive the saves.

Pinterest Deep Links: Frequently Asked Questions

Still wondering about something? Ask us directly.

How do I make a Pinterest link open in the app instead of the browser?

Paste your pinterest.com URL into LinkTwin to get a short link, then share that link instead of the raw URL. When someone taps it on a phone with the Pinterest app installed, LinkTwin hands them straight into the app on the exact pin or board. If the app isn’t installed, the link opens pinterest.com in the browser automatically.

Does this work for pins, boards and profiles?

Yes. LinkTwin recognises links to individual pins, full boards, and creator profiles, and opens each of them in the right place inside the Pinterest app. That keeps high-intent shoppers in the smooth in-app flow where saving and buying are one tap away.

Will my Pinterest deep link still work on desktop?

Absolutely. On desktop there’s no app to open, so the link simply loads pinterest.com in the browser. The same single link is safe to share across mobile and desktop audiences.

Can I track how many people click my Pinterest links?

Yes, it’s a core feature. Every LinkTwin link records total clicks, unique clicks, country, device and referrer, and you can add UTM parameters or retargeting pixels for deeper attribution. That’s the data Pinterest itself rarely surfaces for outbound links.

Is the Pinterest deep link generator free?

Yes. LinkTwin has a free-forever plan with 10 links and 500 clicks a month. You only upgrade if you need a custom domain, more clicks, or advanced features like A/B testing and retargeting. No credit card required to start.

Every app below has its own page, and the same link opens each one in its own app.
