Best Practices

Image Composition

• Vertical Format: Always use 2:3 or taller ratios for maximum feed visibility
• Text Space: Reserve top 20-30% for title overlays
• Focal Point: Place main subject in center or using rule of thirds
• High Contrast: Ensure images stand out in a busy feed
• Mobile-First: Design for mobile viewing (most Pinterest traffic)

Content Strategy

• Lifestyle Context: Show products in use, not just isolated
• Aspirational: Create images people want to save and recreate
• Seasonal Relevance: Consider trending topics and seasons
• Searchability: Think about what users search for
• Series Consistency: Maintain visual style across related pins

Technical Specifications

• Resolution: Minimum 1000px width for crisp display
• File Format: PNG or JPG, optimized for web
• Safe Zones: Keep critical content away from edges (Pinterest may crop)
• Color: Use vibrant, saturated colors that pop in feed

Prompt Tips for Pinterest Pins

When creating Pinterest pin images, include these details in your prompt:

1. Aspect Ratio: Specify 2:3, 9:16, or 1:2.1 for optimal format
2. Pin Type: Mention if it's a product, recipe, tutorial, etc.
3. Visual Style: Aesthetic preference (minimal, bohemian, modern, rustic)
4. Text Space: Request areas for title/text overlays
5. Mood: Cozy, energetic, luxurious, calm, etc.
6. Target Audience: Who will save this pin?
7. Photography Style: Flat lay, lifestyle, portrait, product shot

"Create a [aspect ratio] Pinterest [pin type] for [topic/product].
Show [visual description] with [style/aesthetic].
[Mood/lighting description].
