Pinterest is an American image sharing and media service designed to enable the saving and discovery of information specifically “ideas” on the internet using images and, on a smaller scale, animated GIFs and videos, in the form of pinboards.
Pinterest seems to speak the universal language as it is all about the images. “Visual bookmarking” has become a habit for many of us. Pinterest is and will always be the main source of inspiration for almost anything from art to food recipes, fashion, home décor DIY craft, and make-up. Taking a break and experimenting with other platforms is part of marketing strategies to diversify and find a different audience that might be interested in various products.
Here are the top ten Websites and apps like Pinterest:–

The platform has innumerable categories delineated under it such as education, décor, humor, health and beauty, arts, internet, and several others for the benefit of its users.
The user interface is simple and if you come across something pleasing to the eyes, it can be bookmarked and shared with others as well.
