This is a very quick guide and tutorial that will show you how you can pin images from absolutely any website to Pinterest.
It’s always a great idea to cross-promote between social media sites. It’s a social media strategy that brings in new followers and new engagement from one social media site to another. But for some reason, Facebook doesn’t always like to play with other social media sites one of which is Pinterest
But not to worry there is a very simple fix so you can now pin Facebook Images to your Pinterest Boards and boost your social media management strategy.
Pinterest share buttons just don’t work when you try to share images from Facebook to Pinterest.
Facebook doesn’t support pinning to Pinterest. When you click your button you get an annoying pop up stopping you fast in your tracks.
So How Do We Pin Facebook And Google Images To Pinterest?
Well the process is very simple and it starts by adding a very nifty social media browser extension to your web browser called ShotPin
Go to the post or image that you would like to share on Facebook and then click the date/time on the post.
Clicking the date/time will open the content up in its own tab with its unique URL showing at the top in the address bar. See below.
Click the Red ShotPin icon in the address bar to open up the ShotPin Button
Left click and hold, and then drag open the content that you want to share, a black outline then appears around the content, now click the ShotPin icon.
The Pinterest Pin Box then opens.
You select the board that you want to pin to and provide your title and description and click pin and you are done.
