Overview

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

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.

Use Cases

Who Uses Pinterest Deep Links

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

Online retailers

Send shoppers to a product pin in-app where saving and clicking through to your store takes one tap.

Bloggers & creators

Promote a board of your best ideas from email or other socials and watch which audience saves the most.

Affiliate marketers

Drive pinners to product pins in the app and measure exactly which pins and channels convert.

Designers & brands

Showcase a board of your work or catalogue and keep visitors inside the high-intent app experience.

Analytics

Pinterest Link Tracking & Analytics

A Pinterest deep link is also a tracked link. Every tap is recorded before the app opens, so you know which pins and boards pull their weight.

Real-time clicks

See total and unique clicks update live as pinners tap your links.

Geo & device

Break clicks down by country, city, OS and device to learn where your pinners come from.

Source attribution

Tag links per pin or campaign to see whether your blog, email, or other socials drive the saves.

Retargeting pixels

Add Meta, Google, TikTok or X pixels so you can retarget everyone who clicked through to Pinterest.

Going Straight to Pinterest?

Prefer to browse pins or set up a board on the source itself? Head to the official site, but to make your own Pinterest links open the app and report their clicks, you’ll want a LinkTwin link.
