Why Pinterest is still one of the best platforms for visual content

Pinterest is fundamentally a visual search engine, not a social network. Users come to Pinterest actively looking for ideas, products, and inspiration — which means the intent behind a Pinterest visit is much closer to a Google search than a Facebook scroll. This makes Pinterest-referred traffic highly valuable: visitors are in discovery mode and significantly more likely to click through to external websites. Optimising your pin images for Pinterest is one of the highest ROI activities for bloggers, e-commerce brands, and content creators.

Standard pins vs long pins: which to use

The standard Pinterest pin format is 1000×1500 pixels (2:3 ratio). This is the format Pinterest was built around and what most users expect to see. Long pins (1000×2100, 1:2.1 ratio) take up more vertical space in the feed and can be more eye-catching, particularly for step-by-step tutorials, recipes, and infographics where vertical storytelling works well. Square pins (1000×1000) were popular for a time but are now generally less preferred as they take up less feed space than vertical formats.

What makes a Pinterest pin drive clicks

The most-clicked Pinterest pins share common traits: a clear, high-quality hero image; a short, benefit-driven text overlay in a legible font (Canva and Adobe Express are popular tools for this); warm, bright colours that contrast well against Pinterest's white background; and a clear indication of what the user will get when they click. Pins with faces tend to get more saves, while pins with clear product shots tend to get more clicks. Test both approaches and track which performs better with your audience.

Pinterest SEO: making your pins discoverable

Pinterest pins are indexed by both Pinterest's internal search and Google Image Search. This means a well-optimised pin can drive traffic months or even years after it was posted — unlike Instagram or TikTok where content has a very short half-life. Use descriptive, keyword-rich pin titles and descriptions. Name your image files descriptively before uploading (e.g. "chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe.png" rather than "image001.png"). Pin to relevant boards with clear, keyword-focused board names.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Pinterest pin size?+
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio - typically 1000×1500 pixels. Vertical pins get more impressions because they take up more space in the feed.
Are long pins still allowed on Pinterest?+
Yes, long pins (up to 1000×2100) are still allowed and often perform well for tutorials and infographics. Keep within Pinterest's 1:2.1 max ratio.
What is the best image format for Pinterest pins?+
PNG is preferred for pins with text overlays and graphics due to its sharpness. JPG works well for photography. Keep files under 20MB.
How do I upload a pin to Pinterest?+
Log in to Pinterest, click the plus icon, select "Create Pin", upload your image, add a title and description, select a board, and add your destination URL. Pins with destination links drive website traffic.
Does Pinterest resize images automatically?+
Pinterest will resize images that exceed its display dimensions, which can introduce compression. Uploading at the exact recommended dimensions (1000×1500 for standard pins) ensures the sharpest possible display.
