Etsy Pinterest Pin Maker

Pinterest pin size and dimensions

The Pinterest pin size Pinterest recommends is 1,000 x 1,500 pixels, a 2:3 vertical shape. Pinterest says pins with a taller shape than that might get cut off in people's feeds, so a longer pin doesn't buy you more space. Every pin from this maker is exactly 1,000 x 1,500.

Where to put text on a pin

Pinterest's Pin specs list safe zones of 270 px at the top, 65 px on the left, 195 px on the right and 790 px at the bottom, so text stays visible on any device. Those zones leave little room on a 1,500 px pin, so treat them as a direction: keep words away from the edges and the most important words high on the pin. In this maker no word sits closer than 65 px to any edge, and most headlines sit at the top.

How to post an Etsy listing on Pinterest

A pin made from your own image, with your listing as its link, is the most direct way to bring Etsy to Pinterest. Make the image here, then follow Pinterest's steps for creating a Pin:

1. Log in to Pinterest on a computer. Click Create, then Create Pin.
2. Upload your pin image. You can pick up to 10 at once, and each image becomes its own pin.
3. Paste the Title and Description the maker wrote for that pin.
4. Paste your listing address in the Link field. This is what opens your Etsy listing when someone clicks the pin.
5. Choose a board, or create one for this kind of product.
6. Under More options, paste the alt text.
7. Click Publish. With a business account you can pick Publish at a later date instead, up to 30 days ahead.

In the Pinterest app, tap the add icon at the bottom of the screen, then Pin, pick the image and fill in the same fields.

Can you link your Etsy shop to Pinterest?

Not by claiming it. Pinterest lets you claim a website only if you own its domain and can edit its code, so stores on marketplaces like Etsy can't be claimed. What links your shop to Pinterest is the pins themselves: each one carries the address of one listing. Use the listing's clean address, without the tracking codes (like ?ref=) a copied Etsy link often carries. The maker removes them for you.

What makes a product pin work

Pinterest's creative best practices for businesses come down to a few rules, and the maker's layouts are built on them:

• Plan for a vertical canvas. Most people use Pinterest on a phone, so Pinterest asks for 2:3.
• Put your product front and center. Pinterest says to make the product the star and show people using it in real settings. Use your clearest product shot, and a lifestyle photo for the inset or split layouts.
• Show your brand, gently. Pinterest says your logo or brand name should be clearly visible without taking over. Type your shop name in the small line.
• Stack your story. Visuals in the middle, the key message at the top and details at the bottom.

Pinterest pin templates in this maker

Each layout is a Pinterest pin template filled with your own photos and words. You get one of each that your photos allow, and you can switch any pin to another.

Words never sit straight on a photo. Each headline has a band, card or pill of solid color behind it, and its color is checked against that color so it reads at a 4.5 to 1 contrast or better, even on a small phone.

Writing pin titles and descriptions for Pinterest search

The image gets the click, but the words decide who sees it. Pinterest says descriptions are used to work out who your pin is relevant to, even though they don't show in the feed, and that feeds may show only the first 40 characters of a title. So:

• Name the product first. Etsy titles are often a list of search phrases. On Pinterest, lead with what it is, then one phrase about who it is for.
• Write sentences, not a list. Use the words buyers search for, each once, in a sentence a person would say.
• Skip hashtag walls and links in the text. The link belongs in the Link field.
• Vary the image and the title. Each pin in a set has its own layout and photo, and its title adds a different search phrase after the product name. The description is your listing's own opening sentences, the same on every pin, so read it once and change what you like.

Pinterest for Etsy sellers, without the daily chore

One pin per listing is a start, but a shop keeps changing: new listings go live, and the ones that sell deserve fresh pins. By hand that means making images, writing text and posting on a schedule, every week.

Alura's Pinterest automation does that part. It turns your Etsy listings into pins and posts them on the days and times you choose, pins each new listing on its own, writes the title, description and alt text for Pinterest search, and files every pin on the right board.
