Browser extension · 2026
Pluck
Copy a Pinterest feed image straight to your clipboard without ever opening the pin. Hover a still image, click Copy, and paste a clean PNG into Messages, Slack, Figma, or anything else that reads images from the clipboard. Shipped to the Chrome and Firefox stores.
What it is
Pinterest makes you open a pin to grab its image. Pluck removes that detour. A small Copy button appears on still images in the feed, search, and boards. Click it and a clean PNG lands on your system clipboard, ready to paste wherever you were already working.
No account, no server, no analytics. Everything runs in the browser.
What it does
- Copy on hover. A Copy button on still images in the home feed, search results, and boards.
- Handles carousels. Copies the slide that is actually visible, and skips video pins.
- Clean output. A plain PNG on the clipboard, with Pinterest hover UI stripped out.
- Layered fallback. Reads the loaded image first, then falls back to a cropped visible-tab screenshot if canvas extraction is blocked.
- Optional higher-res fetch when the page exposes a larger URL, off by default.
What it avoids on purpose
Pinterest’s feed is a constantly mutating masonry grid. Pluck deliberately does not observe the whole document, rescan on a timer, prefetch images, read the clipboard, or talk to a backend. Pointer movement only stores coordinates. Detection runs when the pointer enters a new element, and the overlay hides while you scroll.
How it’s built
A Manifest V3 extension in plain JavaScript. One codebase builds Chrome, Firefox, and Safari packages. 59 tests cover the copy pipeline. A build script packages each browser target, and the extension is published on the Chrome and Firefox stores.
Shipped
Public on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, with a landing page and source on GitHub.
