Pinterest has gained a reputation as a website geared mostly towards women who need ideas for weddings, home decor, and recreation. Maybe you like the idea of Pinterest, but not its subject matter. Maybe Pinterest just isn't for you. Don't worry, as there are plenty of Pinterest alternatives.

Looking for a Pinterest for men? It's out there. A Pinterest for food? It exists. A Pinterest for memes? You're in luck. We have compiled a list of the 7 best apps and sites like Pinterest.

1. We Heart It

We Heart It homepage

If we had to describe We Heart It in one sentence, we would call it the offspring of Pinterest and Tumblr. We Heart It is a place where users can be themselves and post up pretty much anything they want—cat pictures, melodramatic quotes, cute outfits, landscapes, food, and more.

There's an undercurrent beneath all of the We Heart It posts thatindicates that this site is mainly used by teens and college girls. There isn't as much wedding planning, but there's a bit more teenage angst. If you're looking for more sites like Pinterest that are geared towards young women, We Heart It is for you.

2. Dribbble

Dribble homepage

According to its homepage, Dribbble is the "leading destination to find and showcase creative work". For all of you creative folks out there, Dribbble is the perfect outlet for you to answer the question: "What are you working on right now?".

Whether you're designing websites, movie posters, typography, pixel art, company logos, architecture, or whatever else, you can use Dribbble to share your work. It's a great way to show off things you can create in Canva, Photoshop, and other design tools.

Not a designer yourself? That's fine, too. Feel free to explore the posts on Dribbble (called "shots" as opposed to "pins" or "posts") to get a glimpse into the minds of various creators. If you can appreciate art in all of its forms, there's a lot of content here that will blow your mind.

3. FoodGawker

FoodGawker homepage

Are you a foodie? If so, you'll fall in love with FoodGawker in no time. This Pinterest-inspired website is not only an excellent place to discover new dishes, ingredients, and beautiful photographs of food, it's also a great site to find plenty of online cooking guides for beginners or experts.

A word of warning: do not browse this site when you're hungry, or you might find your desk covered in a pool of drool.

The only downside to FoodGawker is that it's curated. You can submit your own photographs and links, but the editors review all submissions and have the final say on what gets published. On the one hand, this maintains a high standard of quality, but it does end up losing some of its Pinterest-esque appeal.

For an even better experience, use FoodGawker with a browser extension that can help you save recipes for later and even create shopping lists for you. If you are a Chrome user, our guide on the best Chrome extensions for cooking inspiration can help you with just that.

4. Pearltrees

Pearltrees homepage

Pearltrees is a hub for all of your interests. Not only can you add photos, URLs, and documents, but you can also take snippets of web pages and add them to your collection using Pearltrees' browser extension or smartphone app.

With Pearltrees, you can create a variety of collections that you can organize with as many sub-collections as you need. As soon as you add an item, Pearltrees will provide you with similar collections made by other users.

Pearltrees gives you 1GB of storage for free, but you'll have to pay a subscription fee to get additional storage and more features.

5. Mix

Exploring restaurants in Mix

Mix, previously known as StumbleUpon, is a great alternative to Pinterest. When you grab the Mix app, you'll choose from several topics you'd like to see in your feed, including fashion, architecture, music, funny posts, nature, and more.

When you see a post you like, you can hit the Mix button, which adds it to a collection on your profile. You can also share this collection with others. Mix uses these posts to curate a personalized feed of content. If you want to see what other users are mixing, you can also head to the Popular tab.

6. DwellingGawker

Dwellinggawker homepage

DwellingGawker is from the same creators as FoodGawker, but it focuses on interior design and architecture inspiration, rather than food.

Like FoodGawker, each photo is curated by the site's editors. You can also save and share the beautiful photos you come across, as well as submit your own. This site will definitely inspire you to spruce up your home.

7. Designspiration

Explore different topics on Designspiration

Designspiration is another popular platform that, as the name suggests, serves as an inspiration for designers and creatives. It has a wide collection of visual content, including images, graphics, typography, and other design-related elements.

You can browse through different categories or themes to discover ideas (by searching for search for specific keywords, colors, and styles), and then save them. This feature is quite similar to how you save items on Pinterest—by creating your own collection and adding them to it. If you are a designer yourself, this platform can be a great way to share your work and connect with others who have similar interests.

Designspiration also has a Pro version, which offers features like vision mood boarding, early access to new features, and exclusive deals and discounts for a price of $5.
