Pinterest Dark Mode Chrome extension

Pinterest Dark Mode swaps Pinterest's white background for a dark theme while keeping pinned images and videos at their original brightness. It's best for people who browse Pinterest at night or for long stretches and want less glare. The catch: it only themes Pinterest.com, so it won't dark-mode any other site.

What Pinterest Dark Mode does

Pinterest Dark Mode automatically applies a dark theme to Pinterest.com, changing the site's backgrounds and surrounding UI while leaving pinned images and videos at their original brightness and color. The goal is a more comfortable viewing experience, especially in low light or during long browsing sessions.

Choosing a theme in Pinterest Dark Mode

The extension includes 8 dark theme variations you can switch between from its popup. Each keeps the same core idea, dark backgrounds and preserved media, but with slightly different shades and contrast, so you can pick the one that feels easiest on your eyes.

Is Pinterest Dark Mode safe?

The developer has not identified itself as a trader, meaning EU consumer contract protections don't apply to it. It works by injecting CSS styling into Pinterest.com pages rather than reading or transmitting your Pinterest data, and it only activates on that one domain.
