Supported Pin types
Images
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio (e.g. 1,000 x 1,500 pixels). Other ratios may cause your Pin to truncate, or may negatively impact performance.
FYI 👀: Due to API limitations, Pins with video are not supported. You can still plan and schedule video posts for Pinterest using notification publishing.
Create a Pin
1. Create a post from your Calendar. Select Pinterest as your social channel and add your image content.
2. On the Post Editor modal, add a heading, a URL link, and/or add this Pin to an existing board on your account.
3. When your draft is ready, select the next stage you’d like to move it to.
⚠️ Descriptions have a character count of 500 characters.
If you're over the character count, the character counter will have a minus symbol (-) beside the number, signifying how many characters need to be edited out. The post will fail to publish if it's over the character count.
