Pinterest FAQs

Can I add videos to my Pinterest posts?

No, videos are not able to be published through Pinterest in HeyOrca. This is an API limitation.

What size should my media be for Pinterest?

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.
