How to See Pin Stats on Pinterest: Saves, Reactions and More (2026 Guide)

Pinterest shows you millions of ideas, but it rarely tells you how well any of them are doing. How many people saved this recipe? Is that home decor idea popular or just pretty? When was it posted?

Those numbers exist. They are just not on the screen by default. This guide explains every way to see pin stats in 2026: for your own pins through Pinterest's built-in analytics, and for any pin you find while browsing.

Why pin stats matter

Before creating content, you want evidence that people care about the topic. Pin stats give you that evidence:

• Saves show how many people wanted to keep an idea for later. This is the strongest signal of real interest.
• Reactions and comments show whether a pin sparked a response.
• Shares show whether people found it useful enough to send to someone.
• Age tells you whether that engagement is recent or years old.

Without numbers, you are judging by looks alone, and on Pinterest the prettiest pin is often not the most successful one. If you want the full breakdown of what each metric means, see our guide to saves vs reactions vs shares.

Part 1: Stats for your own pins

Pinterest provides free analytics for your own content, but you need a business account. Converting a personal account is free and takes a minute in your account settings.

How to open Pinterest Analytics on desktop

1. Log in to your Pinterest business account.
2. Click Analytics in the top menu, then Overview.
3. Choose a date range and filters, such as content type or device.
4. Scroll to the list of top pins to see the stats for each one.

How to see stats for a single pin

1. Open one of your own pins.
2. Look below the pin for its stats, or click See more stats.
3. You will see figures such as impressions, saves, pin clicks and outbound clicks.

How to see pin stats on mobile

1. Open the Pinterest app and go to your profile.
2. Tap one of your pins.
3. Tap the stats area below the pin to see its numbers.

What Pinterest Analytics tells you

For your own pins, Pinterest reports metrics like:

• Impressions: how many times your pin was shown.
• Saves: how many times people saved it.
• Pin clicks: clicks to view the pin in close-up.
• Outbound clicks: clicks through to your website.
• Engagement: the total of the interactions above.

These are the most complete numbers you can get, because they include impressions and clicks that are never public.

The big limitation

Pinterest Analytics only covers your own account. It will not tell you how a competitor's pin performed, which ideas are doing well in a new niche, or what you should create next. For that, you need to see the public stats on other people's pins.

Part 2: Stats for any pin you find

Every pin carries public engagement data, such as saves and reactions, but Pinterest hides most of it from the grid you browse. There are two ways to see it.

Method 1: Open the pin and look closely

Click a pin to open it. Depending on the pin and your region, Pinterest may show a reaction count, a few comments or the number of saves under the image.

This works for a quick check, but it has real drawbacks:

• You can only look at one pin at a time.
• The numbers shown are inconsistent from pin to pin.
• There is no way to compare or sort pins by performance.

For a single pin, fine. For research across a whole niche, it is far too slow.

Method 2: Use a browser extension

A Pinterest analytics extension reads the public data for each pin and displays it directly on the grid as you scroll. This is how most creators, bloggers and marketers do pin research.

With PinBee, for example, every pin shows:

• Saves, reactions, shares, repins and comments
• The pin's age, such as 3 weeks or 2 years
• A viral score from 0 to 100 that compares the pin with the rest of the results
• Tags for video, carousel, AI-made and sponsored pins

You then click Sort to reorder the whole search by saves, so the proven ideas rise to the top. These features are free.

How to see pin stats with PinBee, step by step

1. Install PinBee from the Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons or Firefox Add-ons. There is no account to create.
2. Open Pinterest and search for a topic, for example "small bedroom ideas".
3. Scroll. Stats appear on each pin automatically.
4. Click Sort. PinBee scans the results and reorders them by saves.
5. Study the top results. Note the topics, formats and titles that keep appearing.
6. Save what you learn. Every scanned pin is kept in your private Library for later.

With PinBee Pro you can go further: sort by any metric, filter to the last 7, 30 or 90 days to see what works now, and see each pin's original creator and source website.

Other extensions

PinBee is not the only option. Tools such as SortPin and PinRadar do a similar job with different strengths. We compared them honestly in PinBee vs SortPin and PinBee vs PinRadar if you want to weigh them up.

Private vs public stats: what you can and cannot see

It helps to know the limits of each approach:

Stat	Your own pins (Pinterest Analytics)	Other people's pins (extension)
Saves	Yes	Yes
Reactions and comments	Yes	Yes
Shares	Yes	Yes
Age / date posted	Yes	Yes
Impressions	Yes	No, private
Pin clicks	Yes	No, private
Outbound clicks	Yes	No, private

Impressions and clicks are private to each account owner. No legitimate tool can show them for pins that are not yours, so be wary of any that claim to.

How to use pin stats well

Seeing numbers is the start. Here is how to turn them into better content:

1. Compare within one search. A recipe and a wedding idea live in different worlds, so compare pins that answer the same query.
2. Weigh engagement against age. 3,000 saves in three weeks beats 8,000 saves over four years if you want to know what works now.
3. Look for patterns, not one-offs. If several top pins share a format, such as numbered lists or before-and-after images, that format is proven.
4. Check the source. Note which websites the top pins link to. Those are the sites winning traffic in your niche.
5. Research keywords too. Pair pin stats with keyword research to know what people search for. Our Pinterest keyword research guide shows how.
6. Make it a weekly habit. Ten minutes a week keeps you in touch with what your audience wants.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see how many saves a pin has?

Yes. For your own pins, use Pinterest Analytics. For anyone else's, open the pin to see what Pinterest displays, or use an extension like PinBee to see saves on every pin in the grid.

Can I see who saved my pin?

No. Pinterest does not show which individual accounts saved your pin, only the total number of saves.

Do I need a business account to see pin stats?

You need a free business account for Pinterest's own analytics on your pins. You do not need one to see public stats on other pins with an extension.

Can I see Pinterest stats on my phone?

For your own pins, yes, in the Pinterest app. Browser extensions work on desktop browsers, so research across other people's pins is best done on a computer.

Is it safe to use a Pinterest stats extension?

Choose one that works locally and does not ask for your Pinterest password. PinBee never asks for your Pinterest login and keeps your data on your computer, as explained in our privacy policy.

Summary

To see stats for your own pins, switch to a free business account and use Pinterest Analytics, which also shows private numbers like impressions and clicks. To see stats for any pin, open it for a quick look, or use a browser extension to see saves, reactions, shares and age on every pin at once, then sort results so the best ideas rise to the top.

Install PinBee free and see the numbers behind every pin in under a minute.
