Pinterest and Vade: finding ideas, keeping context.
Choose the experience that fits your next idea, from browsing new references to developing the work you want to keep.
What you are choosing.
Pinterest describes a visual discovery service with a personalised home feed, search, saved Pins, boards and board sections. Pins can include images, videos and products; boards can be private or collaborative. Official product overview.
Product descriptions checked against the linked sources on 21 September 2026. Check each provider for current plans and availability.
Vade starts with what you keep.
A poster, a room, a product or an interface can enter the same library. Keep the original source and add the context that makes a reference useful to you.
Use a save in several boards, with different notes, sections and crops. Present those boards as Gallery, Editorial, Collage or Schedule. Full images remain whole until you choose otherwise.
Supplier details and available prices support sourcing work. They are optional facts, not a requirement for every reference. See how Vade works.
Choose around the work.
Consider Pinterest when discovering ideas through its feed and wider catalogue is central to the task. Consider Vade when you want a design library that carries source links and your own context into several boards and presentation treatments. You can use each for a different part of your process.
Try one real project: save a reference, find it after a few days, give it context in two boards and share a presentation. Those tasks make the fit easier to judge than a feature count.
Questions, answered.
- Does every reference need to be a product?
- No. Pages, images, typography, interfaces, materials and products share one library. Supplier and product facts appear where supported by the source.
- What is included on Free?
- Unlimited saves and ordinary boards, all four presentation layouts and standard Vade-branded sharing. Optional AI compositions have a separate monthly allowance.
