Pinterest Users, Stats, Data & Trends
Essential Pinterest statistics and trends for 2023
Pinterest had 463 million monthly active users in April 2023,(a) placing it 14th in our ranking of the world’s most ‘active’ social media platforms.(b)
What’s more, data published in the company’s most recent investor earnings report shows that Pinterest’s monthly active users have grown steadily over the past three months.(a)
The total number of people that use Pinterest each month increased by roughly 13 million (+2.9%) in the three months leading up to April 2023.(a)
These latest figures indicate that roughly 5.8% of all the people on Earth use Pinterest today.(c)
However, because the company limits use of its platform to people above the age of 13, Pinterest’s ‘eligible’ use rate will likely be higher than these figures suggest.(c)

How many Pinterest users are there in 2023?
Pinterest is one of the world’s top social platforms, but just how many people use Pinterest today?
Data published in the company’s most recent investor earnings report shows that Pinterest had a total of 463 million monthly active users around the world in April 2023.(a)
These figures suggest that 7.4% of all people aged 13 and above around the world use Pinterest today.(c)
However, if we remove the people in this age group who live in China – where Pinterest is still blocked – the platform’s eligible adoption rate increases to 9.2%.(c)
Meanwhile, the company’s self-service advertising tools indicate that marketers could reach 282.5 million users* on Pinterest in early April 2023.(d)
*Notes: There are various reasons why Pinterest’s advertising audience figures may differ from its total monthly active users figures, including individual user behaviours and the effects of US sanctions. However, our analysis suggests that the main cause of this discrepancy is the fact that Pinterest’s self-service advertising tools only publish data for a limited selection of countries.
How fast is Pinterest growing in 2023?
Pinterest’s monthly active users
Data published in Pinterest’s latest investor earnings report shows that Pinterest’s monthly active users have grown quickly over the past year.(a)
The latest global total is 30 million (6.9%) higher than the equivalent figure that the company reported in its 1Q 2022 report, published in April 2022.(a)
Pinterest’s advertising audience reach
Meanwhile, recent data published in the company’s self-service advertising tools shows that Pinterest’s advertising audience reach grew by 20.2% over the past 12 months.(d)
To put that figure in perspective, advertisers can now reach 48 million more users on Pinterest than they could this time last year.(d)
These numbers indicate that Pinterest’s advertising reach has grown much more quickly than Facebook’s advertising reach has grown over the past 12 months.(b)
For comparison, Facebook’s data show that the global advertising reach of its flagship platform increased by 5.0% (+108 million users) in the 12 months leading up to April 2023.(e)
