If you’ve gone looking for the “Create Idea Pin” button recently, you’ll have noticed it isn’t there. Pinterest stopped offering Idea Pins as a separate format in 2023. Even so, the old ones still turn up on boards everywhere, the name still appears in Ads Manager, and a surprising number of guides still tell you … Read more
Pinterest recommends 1080 × 1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio) for full-bleed video Pins. Accepted formats are .MP4, .MOV, and .M4V with H.264 or H.265 encoding. Videos must run between 4 seconds and 5 minutes for organic Pins, with a maximum file size of 2GB. That’s the short answer. But if you’ve ever uploaded a video … Read more
Downloading something from Pinterest takes about ten seconds. Working out whether you were allowed to do it can take a lot longer. The confusion makes sense. Pinterest is built around saving other people’s work, so the line between “saving” and “stealing” feels blurry. Add downloader tools into the mix and the question gets messier still. … Read more

What fixes it is knowing which of three jobs you’re trying to do: browsing outfits, building a look from pieces, or … Read more
Search “cozy studio apartment” on Pinterest right now and count how many results have a radiator melting into a windowsill. Then click through on something you like and see where you land. Half the time it’s a scraper blog. The rest of the time it’s a 404. That’s why so many artists have spent the … Read more
Pinterest monthly views usually drop for one of seven reasons: the TransAct V2 ranking model that Pinterest introduced in 2025, which weighs far more of a user’s history and rewards fresh, relevant content over recycled repins; seasonal dips; a viral Pin returning to baseline; the Visit Site button change; increased competition; a period of unconfirmed … Read more
To drive traffic from Pinterest, treat it as a visual search engine rather than a social network. Claim your website, build boards around the topics your audience searches for, write keyword-rich titles and descriptions, and publish two to five fresh, distinct Pins every day. Then give it three to six months. Pinterest rewards consistency over … Read more
Anyone who has tried to tidy a board with four hundred Pins in it knows the problem. Moving them one at a time is slow enough to make you give up halfway. Pinterest does have a bulk tool for this, called Organize, but it’s tucked away and it comes with a couple of limits worth … Read more
