How to make a Pinterest pin (1000 × 1500)

Pinterest works more like a search engine than a social network, and tall pins with a clear headline get the most attention. The standard shape is 2:3, or 1000 × 1500 pixels.

Open the pin maker → Free Free to use. Free exports carry a small Postscript watermark; Pro ($24.99 once) removes it.

Step by step

  1. Open Social Media → Normal Post. Choose the 2:3 Pin size.
  2. Add a photo and headline. Say exactly what the reader gets, like 10 easy weeknight dinners.
  3. Add your website or brand. Small, at the bottom of the pin.
  4. Export and pin. Upload it to Pinterest with a keyword-rich title and description.

Write for search

People find pins by searching, so put the words they'd type in your headline, pin title and description. Make several pins with different photos and headlines for each blog post or product, and see which ones get saved.

How many pins to make

Pinterest rewards fresh pins. Rather than repinning the same image, make three to five different pins for each blog post or product, with different photos and headlines, and spread them out over a few weeks.
