Pinterest Content Best Practices
Always use 2:3 vertical ratio for standard pins - 67% more engagement than square
Keep video pins between 6–15 seconds for optimal completion rates
Pinterest converts all images to 8-bit RGB JPEG internally - upload PNG with sRGB for best quality
Idea Pins support up to 20 pages - great for step-by-step tutorials
Pins taller than 1:2.1 get truncated in feeds - use 2:3 as the standard
Add keyword-rich descriptions (500+ chars) to improve search discovery
