Repins and Likes in Pinterest

Repins and Likes in Pinterest


While it's easy to pin images and videos from other pages across the web, the option to repin is what truly makes Pinterest so simple and fun to use. Anytime you find a pin from another Pinterest user that you'd like to save for yourself, you can easily repin it to one of your own pinboards. You can also choose to like a pin to save it.

To Repin a Pin:

  1. When you find something you might like to repin, hover the mouse over the pin and then click the Repin button Repin Button.
