What is a Pinterest deep link?
A Pinterest deep link is a URL that opens a specific pin, board, or profile inside the Pinterest mobile app instead of loading it in a web view. When someone taps a normal pinterest.com link inside another app (Instagram, a messenger, an email client), it usually opens in that app's built-in browser, where the pin looks flat and the visitor can't easily save it or follow the board.
U2L's Pinterest app opener rewrites your link so that, on a phone, it opens straight in the Pinterest app instead of a browser tab. The result: richer pins, more saves, and followers who can act in one tap.
Behind the scenes the link is a normal short URL, so it works everywhere a link works - in bios, ads, emails, and messages.
