How to Never Lose Your Pinterest Ideas Again: Backup, Export, and Sync Explained

Digital platforms are not permanent. Pinterest could ban your account. They could shut down. They could change their interface and hide your favorite pins. You need an exit strategy.

The Data Trap

When you save everything to a proprietary platform, you are locked in. If you can't export it, you don't own it.

Exporting with Notestopin

Because we believe in data ownership, we built a robust export feature. You can dump all your notes, tags, and pin links into a JSON file or a Markdown format.

Integration with Obsidian/Notion

Once you have the Markdown export, you can drag and drop it into Obsidian or Notion. Suddenly, your visual research is searchable alongside your text notes.

True backup means platform independence.

Don't trust a single company with your creative life. Annotate locally, export regularly, and sleep soundly.
