Move your mouse over a pin, and press the 'z' key to open the largest (original) image Pinterest has for that pin. By default it will open in a new tab in the foreground. Pressing 'Shift-z' will open in a background tab.

Requirements:

  • Must be logged in (original image URL doesn't seem to exist in the code when logged out)
  • Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey on a recent version of Firefox or Chrome.

Known issues:

  • Story pins (multiple images per pin) only opens the first image.
  • Doesn't work on "Visually similar results".
  • If you're not hovering over an image and press 'z', it will open the very first image in the pin grid.

Notes:

  • Pressing 'z' on a close-up image (after clicking a pin) should also work.
  • I mainly only test this with the Tampermonkey add-on on the most recent version of Firefox. Other setups may or may not work.
