What you need
Steps
Open the Canva app and tap the plus button to start a new design. Search for the Pinterest Pin size, which is 1000 by 1500 pixels, and select it.
Pick a template with a vertical layout or start from a blank canvas. Keep one main image and leave clear empty space for your headline text.
Add your headline with the Text tool. Use a bold font, keep it to about 5 to 7 words, and make it large enough to read on a small phone screen.
Place a short subheading or benefit line under the headline in a smaller font. Use no more than two fonts in total so the pin stays clean.
Choose two or three colours that match your brand and keep high contrast between text and background. Dark text on a light photo or a solid colour block behind the text works well.
Add your logo or website name in a small corner so people recognise your pins over time. Keep it small so it does not distract from the headline.
Download the finished pin as a PNG or JPG to your phone. Check the preview at full size to make sure no text is cut off at the edges.
Open Pinterest, tap Create Pin, upload the image, write a keyword-rich title and description, and add the link to your page.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the main message in the top half of the pin, since the bottom part is often covered by the Pin title on mobile.
Make 3 to 5 versions of the same pin with different headlines and colours, then see which one gets more saves and clicks.
Avoid cramming long paragraphs onto the pin. One clear idea per pin gets more clicks than a busy design.
Questions
What size should a Pinterest pin be?
Use 1000 by 1500 pixels, which is a 2:3 vertical ratio. Canva has this size built in when you search for Pinterest Pin.
Do I need Canva Pro to make pins?
No. The free Canva account has enough templates, fonts and stock photos to design good pins. Pro mainly adds more premium elements and background removal.
How many pins should I post per day?
Start with 3 to 5 fresh pins per day and keep the quality high. Watch your saves and clicks, then adjust the number based on what performs.
