Optimal is 1000 by 1500 px according to Pinterest. You can use longer ones too if you want. I have a mix of sizes and can’t remember all of the sizes (I don’t think size matters too much based on my personal experience). But one I use is 1000 by 1700 or 1750 px. You should try a variety. I honestly don’t pay attention to size because your click in rate depends on sooo many other factors like headlines, design, proper keywording, and honestly your niche/topic plus how you frame your titles to speak to your audience on that platform; you also can’t forget about their algorithm which is uncontrollable.

Despite all that, I still try to include their optimal size too since they keep harping at it. I don’t like their optimal size though lol.

I have a bunch of pre-made Pinterest templates here that will help make it easier for you when you use Canva. You’ll get the exact templates I use for my other sites too that bring in over 100,000 monthly pageviews to the blog.

It says 30 pin templates but I have an additional bonus of 30 more templates ready for anyone to use, so you’ll get over 60 templates in there for any blog niche. It also comes with a Pin Savvy ebook for quick additional tips, title hacks, and on how to use and design the pin templates optimally.

I hope this helps! 🙂

Can you please tell me the pin sizes that you use? For the long pins and medium pins?

I am currently using 1000×1500 and I don’t think it’s working for me :(…

Do you think the longer pins get more clicks?!

Would be of great help if you share all the pin sizes that you use 🙂

Thanks in advance :))

Hey Hodeis

Are you pinning consistently with a strategy? I’m currently sending out pins with a pinning strategy and using my pin templates to make a bunch of pins so I can schedule them out I’m advance – setting it and forgetting it for months ahead of time:

It also depends on your niche. Crafting, food, arts, fashion, beauty and anything related to lifestyle generally performs better.

On top of that, you should focus on the clicks into your blog and not so much of the monthly views. The clicks will tell you your amount of pageviews to your website.

Hey Joy

I recommend focusing on the number of clicks back to your blog and NOT monthly views.

You might be seeing zero right now because you account is still new, you’re not very active nor consistent.

I recommend staying active and continue to develop a solid pinning strategy.

Hey Simran

It’s most likely your blog and Pinterest account is still too new.

It takes time for Pinterest to trust your account and start giving you traffic, while you are being consistent with your pinning strategy. From my personal experience. using Tailwind Communities can help when sharing exists, so if you aren’t on the TW Communities plan, I recommend it. 🙂

Hi Riya,

Which part are you struggling with, and what methods have you tried/tested?

Have you created boards and Pins with optimized descriptions for Pinterest SEO? Are you doing A/B testing with your Pin design and titles? Also, do you have a solid pinning strategy?

Have you invested in any Pinterest course or resource and followed through?

Those are important for me to know in order to help you. 🙂

Thank you for helping so much.

I wanted to know how to generate proper traffic from Pinterest because struggling with that part.
