Use Pinterest without registration - how it works

Pinterest cannot normally be used without registration - in this practical tip we will show you how you can still look around on the digital pinboard without registering.

Pinterest: View pictures without registration

Nothing works at Pinterest without registration. If you do not want to register, get stuck on the login screen when visiting the website. Registration is possible with your email address, your Facebook or your Google account. This is free in all three cases. Via a detour you can also access Pinterest without your own user account.

• Firefox users simply download the add-on pinterest-guest and can then access the content of the image platform without registration.
• Unfortunately, there is no corresponding extension for Chrome. However, a detour via Tampermonkey and the user script Pinterest without registration is possible here. If you need help with the installation, the practical tip Install Greasemonkey Scripts will help you.
• The bugmenot.com website provides another option. There, users provide login data for Pinterest, among other things. These don't always work, but trying them out can be worthwhile.

Pinterest - Be careful when creating new pins

Pinterest is becoming increasingly popular, but there are a few risks that you should be aware of if you use the service and want to create and share new content yourself - so-called pins.

• Pinterest is primarily used to share photos, drawings and graphics with other users. And problems can quickly arise here if you are not the sole author or do not have the rights to distribute the images. In any case, a correct source should be given. In the worst case, it can otherwise lead to an expensive warning.
• Since the operator of Pinterest does not carry out any checks, there is no guarantee that images that are already available will not violate copyright law. So you can not safely take them over and share them yourself. In addition, a lot of content is uploaded by users in the USA, where other rights regarding the use of third-party images apply.
• However, this does not only apply to Pinterest: Facebook also has rules for sharing images.
• If, on the other hand, you only want to search Pinterest for interesting content, you do not incur these risks and you can use the service without worries without having to expect a warning.
