How to Create Pin on Pinterest

Creating a pin on Pinterest might seem complicated, but it's actually straightforward if you break it down. Let's walk through it step-by-step.

1. Upload Your Image or Video

The first step to create a pin on Pinterest is to upload your image or video.

Go to your Pinterest account.
Click on the ‘+’ button on the top right.
Select ‘Create Pin’.
Choose an image or video from your device.

If your content isn’t optimized for Pinterest, don’t worry. This is where Instasize can help.

Pro Tip: Optimize Your Image with Instasize

Use Instasize’s image resizing and video resizing features with the Pinterest Pin resizer to make sure your media matches the recommended 2:3 aspect ratio.

2. Add a Title and Description

Next, add a catchy title and an informative description. This is crucial for SEO.

Enter a compelling title.
Write a clear and informative description.
Add relevant keywords.

Make sure your description tells a story and includes keywords related to your pin. Fun fact: You can enhance your images using Instasize’s image filters to make them pop even more.

3. Add a Destination Link

Pins with links do better because they drive traffic to your site.

Add a link that directs people to the full content on your website.

4. Choose or Create a Board

Select the board where you want to save your pin. If you don’t have a board that fits, create a new one.

Click on ‘Select’ next to Boards.
Either choose an existing board or create a new one.

If you create a new board, use the Pinterest board cover size guide to prepare a recognizable image that will crop cleanly in its header.

5. Publish Your Pin

Finally, it’s time to publish your pin.

Click on the ‘Publish’ button.

And you're done! Your pin is now live on Pinterest.
