Pinning into the void?
You create first and hope later
Hours on a pin, then you guess the title and description. If the keyword is wrong nobody ever sees it.
Pinterest Trends only tells you so much
Curves without numbers, and only for terms you already thought of. The keywords you never typed stay invisible.
The real tools cost real money
Dedicated Pinterest keyword tools run $29 or more per month. That is a lot for a solo blogger or a small shop.
Keyword Explorer gives you the same Pinterest keyword research power, from the browser you already pin in.
From one seed to a content plan in minutes
Type a seed keyword
Start with anything, like "home decor" or your niche. Autocomplete suggests real Pinterest searches as you type.

Research that reads Pinterest, not guesses at it
Real numbers, straight from Pinterest
Most tools estimate Pinterest volumes from outside data. Keyword Explorer reads the same numbers Pinterest itself reports, so you research with the real thing.
See what winning pins rank for
Every search scans the top-ranking pins for your seed and extracts the exact keywords Pinterest attached to them. It is competitor research built in: see what the winners rank for, then take the underserved keywords for yourself.
One search, six keyword sources
Beyond keywords from top pins, the expansion rail surfaces related interests, related boards, questions pinners actually ask, trending searches, and Pinterest's own suggestions. One search maps your whole niche.
Go deeper on any keyword
Found a promising keyword? Drill into it with one click to pull in its own related keywords with volumes, and keep digging until you hit the long tail nobody else has found.
A keyword database that grows with you
Every keyword you research is cached in your own local database. Repeat searches come back instantly, and over time you build a private Pinterest keyword asset nobody else has.
Built to keep your account safe
The Explorer is deliberately gentle: capped, throttled, human-paced requests with automatic backoff. Research like a pro without making Pinterest nervous.

What early users say
Questions, answered
From Pinterest itself. The Explorer reads the interest data Pinterest reports for each keyword, so the numbers are Pinterest's own monthly search counts, not third-party estimates.
Safety is a core design rule. Requests are capped, spaced out, and back off automatically, and a Quick scan reads only the top 10 pins for your seed.
Just Chrome (or a Chromium browser), the Pin Stats extension, and a Pinterest account you are logged into. No API keys, no spreadsheet uploads, no separate web app.
Trends shows curves for keywords you already know. Keyword Explorer discovers keywords you have not thought of and puts real monthly numbers next to each one.
Limited access to Keyword Explorer, enough to see exactly how it works: run a search, see the full keyword count and a preview of the results, with the rest locked. Extended Pro unlocks all volumes, the full expansion rail, drilling into any keyword for more related keywords, long tail expansion, refresh, and CSV export.
Yearly if Pinterest is part of your regular work, it is the best price per month. Lifetime if you never want another subscription. Monthly if you want to try a serious project first.
Keyword Explorer is included in the Extended Pro plans on this page. Your current plan keeps everything it has today. To add Keyword Explorer, switch to one of these plans; the prices include every Pro feature plus the Explorer.
In your browser. Keywords, volumes, and pin stats are stored locally on your computer, not on our servers. The extension contacts our server to validate your license key.
Cancel anytime; you keep access until the period ends. And every plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Chrome, plus Chromium browsers that allow Chrome Web Store extensions (Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, Opera). Firefox and Safari are not supported.
