Pinterest: number of monthly active users worldwide 2016-2025

Image-based platform Pinterest reached a record number of monthly active users (MAUs) in the most recently reported financial quarter. In the second quarter of 2025, Pinterest had 578 million monthly active users worldwide, up from 570 million users in the first quarter of 2025.

The company

Launched in March 2010, Pinterest was the fastest site in history to reach 10 million unique monthly visitors and high user engagement metrics; a significant feat especially when considering that during much of its initial launch and growth, the site was invitation-only. Despite many social networks going public within a few years post-launch (Twitter: six years; Snap Inc.: six years), Pinterest only filed for an IPO in February 2019, almost nine years after launch, and started trading on April 18, 2019.

Pinterest usage

The social site’s strong user engagement with popular topics and themes such as fashion, home, garden and DIY and subsequently, relevant brands and influencers, forms the basis for its leading position in the area of social marketing and commerce. In 2018, 600 million searches were performed using Pinterest Lens, a camera search that recommends ideas to try inspired by things seen offline.
