Do you have a Pinterest profile? Our “Pinterest Pin Widget” extension for Joomla 3, 4, 5, and 6 helps you publish Pinterest pin widgets in just a few clicks, easily and without programming knowledge.
Description and Purpose
The «Pinterest Pin Widget» is a module for CMS Joomla 3, Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6 that allows you to easily embed individual Pins from Pinterest directly on your website. The module uses the official Pinterest embed code, which ensures correct display, automatic image loading, pin description, and compatibility with platform updates. No programming knowledge is required — just enter the URL of the desired Pin, choose the widget size, and decide whether to show the text description. This solution is suitable for bloggers, online stores, and creative projects that want to visually enrich their content with ideas from Pinterest.
If you need to display the content of a Pin from the Pinterest social network, this module is for you. You can display the desired Pin on your website without programming or using third-party services. All you need to do is install the module, enable its display, and enter the link to the desired Pin. Pinterest’s API will handle everything else for you. All Pin information is stored on Pinterest’s side, so your hosting resources are not affected. You can display any number of Pins simply by duplicating the module with different URLs.
Since the module uses the official Pinterest embed code, it fully complies with the platform’s security standards. You can be confident that Pin content is loaded directly from Pinterest’s servers, without intermediate scripts or third-party injections. This eliminates risks such as XSS, malicious code loading, and update-related issues. Everything works out of the box and remains stable even after Joomla or Pinterest API updates.
