A pin that gets repinned.
Drop a hero photo, type a title, pick a layout. Five layouts, four faces, custom block colours, a darken slider. The title is measured before anything else is drawn, so a long one shrinks and wraps instead of running off the bottom. Outputs the exact 1000×1500 Pinterest wants. Nothing uploads. For brand-system pin packs, grab a real design tool.

Six pins worth making
- 01 for blog
A blog-post pin that drives clicks
Long-form blog posts need a pin per article. Run your hero photo through here with the band-bottom layout, the post title in Instrument Serif, and your handle underneath. Save the JPG, upload to Pinterest, link to the article. Standard practice for any blog older than a week.
- 02 for shop
A product pin that doesn't look like an ad
Product pins fail when they read as ads. Lifestyle photo as the background, soft Caveat handwritten title, your shop's handle at the bottom — reads as content, not a sale. Saves more, drives store traffic.
- 03 for recipes
A food-blog pin with the recipe name
Food pins are Pinterest's bread and butter. Top-shot of the dish, recipe name in heavy Inter on a band at the top, your blog name underneath. Standard food-blog pin layout, made in 90 seconds.
- 04 for round-ups
A '7 things' list pin in serif
List pins ("5 ways to...", "7 things every X needs") perform extraordinarily well. Big serif title, band-bottom layout, dark colour block. The list-pin formula gets repinned forever — set up once, traffic for years.
- 05 for art
A handmade-print sale announcement
Selling prints? A photo of the print + a caveat handwritten 'limited prints' caption + your shop name. Reads as 'a maker is selling something' rather than 'a brand is marketing'. Different vibe, different audience.
- 06 for diy
A craft-tutorial pin with steps in subtitle
DIY tutorial pins live on the title-and-subtitle dynamic. Title: 'Make a Polaroid Photo Wall'. Subtitle: 'in 20 minutes with paper tape'. Drop the pin onto a board, link to the full how-to. Every craft creator needs this template.
Frequently asked
Does the photo upload anywhere? +
No. The pin renders to a canvas in your browser. Your photo never touches our servers — we don't run an image pipeline at all.
Why 1000×1500? +
Pinterest's recommended pin aspect is 2:3, and 1000×1500 is the standard high-quality size. Pins that exceed 2:3 (taller than 1500 at 1000 wide) get truncated in the home feed; pins shorter than 2:3 get less visual real estate. 1000×1500 hits the sweet spot.
Which layout works best? +
Band top is where the tool starts, because a pin is 2:3 and a portrait photo almost always carries its empty part at the top — sky, ceiling, a pale wall — with the subject in the lower two thirds. The band lands on the empty part and leaves the picture alone. Band bottom is the same block at the other end, for photos whose subject sits high. Either way the block grows to whatever you write. Card floats an inset panel over the photo. Scrim fades the photo into the type. Full bleed puts the type straight on the photo with its own shadow. Categories behave differently, so A/B test if you can.
How long should the title be? +
Pinterest titles read best at 60–80 characters. Write longer if you want to: the title shrinks and wraps to its box, and on the band layouts the band grows to hold it, so it can't run off the pin. Keywords in the first 50 characters help inside Pinterest's own search.
Can I save Pinterest-rich-pin metadata? +
No — that requires server-side meta tags on your destination URL (Open Graph). This tool generates the visual pin only. For full rich pin support, you also need to host an article-page with og:image, og:title, og:description, etc.
How do I add my logo? +
Not in v1. For now: run the result through Add Text to Photo with your shop name, or use Photo Watermark with your logo as text. Or upload a custom photo with your logo baked in.
