Boards Importer
Import all pins from Pinterest boards directly into Eagle. Download images and videos with metadata, detect duplicates, and handle multiple boards at once. Superior to Chrome extension with story-pins support and advanced duplicate detection.
Boards Importer is the most comprehensive Pinterest import solution for Eagle, offering significant advantages over the official Chrome extension.
Key Features:

- Complete media support - Downloads images, videos, and story-pins (Idea Pins)
- Rich metadata preservation - Saves titles, descriptions, source links, and tags
