where a pin earns its keep
for blog
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. Save the JPG, upload to Pinterest, link to the article. Standard practice for any blog older than a week.
for shop
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.
for recipes
Food pins are Pinterest's bread and butter. Top-shot of the dish, recipe name in Inter Black at the top center over a darken band, your blog name underneath. Standard food-blog pin layout, made in 90 seconds.
for round-ups
List pins ("5 ways to...", "7 things every X needs") perform extraordinarily well. Big serif title in Instrument Serif, bottom-band layout, dark color block. The list-pin formula gets repinned forever — set up once, traffic for years.
for art
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.
for diy
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.
in case you're wondering
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.
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.
Band-bottom converts best for most categories — clean photo at top, title and handle on a dark band at the bottom. Top-center works for bold photo-led pins. Gradient overlay (subtle fade) is the most editorial-feeling. Pin types perform differently per category; A/B test if you can.
Pinterest titles read best at 60-80 characters — long enough to be specific, short enough to fit two lines without crowding. Keywords in the first 50 characters help SEO inside Pinterest's search.
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.
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.
