Can You Save Pins from Tumblr? Spoiler: It’s Complicated!
So, you’re on Tumblr and suddenly want to save some delightful posts like an adorable cat meme, a snazzy graphic, or even that well-crafted philosophical quote that’s just begging to be shared. But wait, what’s this? The save button has disappeared like my motivation on a Monday morning? Don’t sweat it, we got your back! Let’s break down what you can do in this tricky situation.
“Sometimes you can’t save a pin, but you can definitely save a screenshot!”
The Dreaded Save Button Dilemma
First things first, you’re not alone! Many Tumblr users have voiced their frustration over the disappearance of the save button. In fact, I just wish I could save the fading hopes we all had for good ol’ Tumblr functionalities. Just a couple of days ago, a tweet from Tumblr Support hinted at looking into this issue – so, fingers crossed!
But what do you do in the meantime? Since saving pins the traditional way seems to be on vacation, here’s a handy workaround: Just take a screenshot! That’s right! Capture whatever brings you joy like you’re an undercover spy on a mission to secure cute cat images. When you take a screenshot, you can easily save it to your device. Just make sure to crop out any unnecessary parts. No need to let your friends see your messy desktop background or that embarrassing tab you forgot to close.
Save the Original Link
Alongside screenshots, you can also copy the link to the original post. This is like creating a well-organized filing cabinet for your online gems. By preserving the link, you not only retain the source of the content but also provide context should you wish to revisit or source it later. This way, you’re one clever cookie with that handy reference!
What About GIFs and Multiple Images?
Ah, yes! GIFs are the bread and butter of Tumblr, and newsflash: they’re apparently a bit broken post-update too. In this technicolor world, remember you can’t put multiple images in one pin anymore either. It’s like someone took the joy out of your playlist! Thus, treating each image or GIF separately while saving becomes your best bet.
Now, here’s a fun fact: even if you save a pin from sharing, it doesn’t mean you can easily remove it later if the original poster gets a case of the “I-don’t-want-this-shared-anymore.” It’s a bit of a pain in the creativity, but that’s the state of things! Always respect the creators and their wishes.
