How to See Pin Stats on Pinterest in 2026 (Saves, Repins & More)

Published July 11, 2026 · 6 min read · ← All articles

Years ago, Pinterest showed a save count on every pin. It was the fastest way to judge what worked: open a niche, scan the numbers, learn from the winners. Then Pinterest removed public counts — first from the grid, then from pin pages — and creators have been guessing ever since.

Here's the thing most people don't know: the statistics still exist. Pinterest still tracks saves, repins, comments and reactions for every pin — it just stopped displaying them. In this guide you'll learn three working ways to see them in 2026, from slowest to fastest.

What pin statistics can you actually see?

For any public pin, the following metrics are still recorded by Pinterest:

• Saves — the total times a pin (across all its copies) was saved to boards. The single most important signal of pin quality.
• Repins — saves of this specific pin instance.
• Comments — aggregated across the pin's copies.
• Reactions — the ❤️ 👏 💡 reactions viewers left.
• Shares — outbound shares of the pin.

Method 1: Pinterest Analytics (your own pins only)

If you have a Pinterest Business account, the built-in Analytics dashboard shows impressions, saves and clicks — but only for pins you published. It's genuinely useful for measuring your own content, and it's the only place you'll ever see impression counts.

The limitation is obvious: you can't research anyone else's pins. Competitive research, niche analysis, finding trending content — none of that is possible with native analytics.

Method 2: Manual URL tricks (slow, unreliable)

Some pin pages still expose a rough count in the page source. You can open a pin, view source (Ctrl+U), and search for aggregated_pin_data to find raw numbers buried in the page's JSON. It works — for one pin at a time, if you're comfortable reading JSON, and if Pinterest hasn't restructured the page that week.

For research at any real scale, this is impractical. Checking a 200-pin board would take hours.

Method 3: A pin stats extension (any pin, automatically)

The practical solution is a browser extension that reads the statistics and overlays them on pins as you browse. Pin Analytics Pro (our free Chrome extension) does exactly this:

• 📌 Saves, repins, comments and reactions appear on every pin — home feed, search results, boards and related pins
• ⏬ An auto-scroll button collects stats across a whole feed hands-free
• 📊 Every analyzed pin lands in a local dashboard where you can sort by saves, filter by date or engagement, and compare boards
• 🤖 AI-generated pins and 📢 promoted pins are flagged automatically

Because the data comes from Pinterest's own systems (read through your normal browsing session), the numbers are exact — not estimates.

How to research a niche with pin stats (quick workflow)

1. Search your niche keyword on Pinterest (e.g., "small kitchen organization").
2. Auto-scroll to collect stats on a few hundred results.
3. Sort by saves — the top 20 pins reveal the formats, colors, and headline styles your audience already rewards.
4. Analyze a competitor's board in one click to see their average engagement and their outliers.
5. Track over time — re-analyzing pins builds a history, so you can spot pins that are currently gaining traction, not just old giants.

Frequently asked questions

Is it against Pinterest's rules to view pin stats?

The statistics are data Pinterest serves to your own logged-in browser session; an extension like Pin Analytics Pro displays what's already being delivered to you, at human browsing speed. That said, third-party tools are not endorsed by Pinterest — use reasonable volumes and your own account.

Why do saves and repins differ?

"Saves" aggregates across all copies of an image on Pinterest; "repins" counts the specific pin you're looking at. A popular image repinned by many accounts can show high saves on every copy.

Can I export the numbers?

Yes — Pin Analytics Pro Premium exports everything to CSV for Excel or Google Sheets. See pricing.
