How to Embed Pinterest in Notion (Pins & Boards)
Pinterest is on Notion's supported embed list, which makes it a practical moodboard source. Copy a pin or board URL, paste it onto a Notion page, and choose "Create embed". The pin or board renders in the block. Boards have to be public: a secret board is invisible to anyone but you, so the block will look correct while you are logged in and empty to everyone else.
Why embed Pinterest in Notion?
- Build a moodboard page that pulls from a board you already maintain.
- Keep visual reference next to a design or interiors project plan.
- Share inspiration with people who do not use Pinterest.
Pinterest and Notion: pins, boards, and what stays live
There is no connector involved. A board embed points at the live board, so pins added later appear on the Notion page without any work, which is the main reason to embed a board rather than individual pins. The trade-off is control: you get Pinterest's layout, and you cannot choose which pins the block shows or what order they appear in.
How to embed Pinterest in Notion
Make the board public
In Pinterest, open the board's settings and check that it is not secret. Secret boards do not render for anyone else, which is easy to miss because your own session displays them fine.
Copy the pin or board URL
Copy the address from your browser. A board looks like https://www.pinterest.com/username/board-name/ and a single pin like https://www.pinterest.com/pin/ID/.
Paste it into Notion
Paste the URL onto your Notion page and choose "Create embed", or type /embed first. The pin or board loads in the block.
Give a board room to breathe
Board embeds show a grid, so a full-width, tall block is worth it. A single pin works in something much smaller.
Good to know
- Secret boards do not render for other people, even though they display correctly for you.
- You cannot control which pins appear or in what order. The embed follows Pinterest's own layout.
- Board embeds are heavier than a single pin and take longer to load on a page with several of them.
- A pin deleted at the source leaves a gap in the embed with no notice.
Frequently asked questions
How do I embed a Pinterest board in Notion?
Make sure the board is public, copy its URL, then paste it onto your Notion page and choose "Create embed". Pins added to the board later show up automatically.
Can I embed a secret Pinterest board?
No. Secret boards are not visible to anyone else, so the embed stays blank for your readers. Only public boards render.
Can I choose which pins show in the embed?
No. The board embed follows Pinterest's layout and ordering. For control over exactly what appears, embed individual pins instead.
