Pinterest

Pinterest, Inc. is an American social media and visual discovery service based in San Francisco, California, that lets people publish and discover information in the form of digital pinboards. Users save visual content, called Pins, into personalized collections known as boards, spanning categories such as recipes, home decor, style, beauty, DIY and crafts, travel, animals, art and quotes. The company describes its purpose as helping people find inspiration and act on ideas, and positions the product as a visual bookmarking and search tool rather than a follower-driven social network, with many users curating boards privately for their own planning.

Although it began as a board-based social network, the company has in later years placed increasing emphasis on visual search and e-commerce, including shopping catalogs and product discovery features. Guided Search launched in April 2014 and visual search tools in February 2017. The service is available on the web and through mobile apps; the Android app has surpassed 1 billion downloads and holds a 4.6 rating from roughly 11.6 million reviews, ranking as a top free lifestyle app. Corporate offices are listed at 651 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94107.

Pinterest reported 2024 revenue of $3.65 billion, operating income of $180 million, net income of $1.86 billion, total assets of $5.34 billion, total equity of $4.75 billion, 4,666 employees and 553 million monthly active users.
