Want to explore Pinterest but don’t want to sign in to an account? If so, you can still access the site’s contents on whatever device you prefer. These methods don’t require signing up for a Pinterest account or logging in to an existing account. Here's how to browse, account free.

Head Directly to Pinterest's Explore Page

Pinterest’s "Explore" page is where you see all the content recommendations by the site. If you want to access the site’s content without logging in to an account, this page is where you should go.

To get there, first, launch a web browser on your device and access Pinterest’s Explore page. You don’t have to go to the site’s homepage to get to that page.

Once you’re on the Explore page, you can discover many boards and individual items. To see more content, keep scrolling down, and the site will keep recommending more content.

If you want to find something specific on the site, scroll up the page and use the search box at the top. When you find something that interests you, view that item’s dedicated page by clicking that item on the Explore page or in your search results.

You’ll see your item’s graphical content in full size as well as other details pertaining to it. And that’s all.

Use Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo to Search Pinterest

Another way to browse Pinterest without signing in to an account is to use a search engine. You can use a search engine like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo to find content on Pinterest, and then access that content on the Pinteret site.

To use this method, access your favorite search engine in your web browser. Then, enter your query followed by "site:pinterest.com" (without quotes) and press the Enter key.

For example, if you’re looking for home office design ideas on Pinterest, you’ll enter the following query on your favorite search engine:

home office design ideas site:pinterest.com

That "site" parameter ensures your search engine only finds content on Pinterest. When your search results appear, select the item you’re interested in, and you’ll land on that item’s page on Pinterest.

Search Pinterest using Google.

You can use this method to search as many items as you want on Pinterest without actually ever running any search on the Pinterest site itself. Enjoy!

Tips on Using Pinterest Without Signing In

While using Pinterest without being signed in to an account, you may come across a log-in prompt every now and then. When this happens, simply close the prompt, and the site will let you continue with your browsing.

Another tip worth keeping in mind is to select the Explore page to return or restart your content recommendations, as opposed to going to the site’s homepage. This lets you reload your Pinterest suggestions.

And that’s how you browse your favorite site without holding an account on the site.
