How to Report Copyright Infringement on Pinterest

Pinterest infringement is almost always someone re-pinning or uploading your photography, artwork, or graphic design as their own Pin, often stripped of your watermark or link.

🕑 Guide last reviewed: July 2026 — Pinterest's own process can change; the official link above is always the source of truth.

Pinterest is unusually fast about this compared to other platforms — it typically removes valid infringing Pins within 1–2 business days, and every removal counts as a strike toward the poster's account under Pinterest's repeat-infringer policy.
