Pinterest is a pinboard-style social photo sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, hobbies and more. Users can browse other pinboards for inspiration, ‘re-pin’ images to their own collections and/or ‘like’ photos. It’s pretty amazing, but there’s some great tools and apps available that can add even more to the experience, across desktop and mobile. Below is a collection of some best pinterest tools and apps.
