Free Pinterest Pin Checker
Check your Pin image, title and description before you publish. Get a simple score and clear fixes. Everything runs in your browser.

Why it matters
Pinterest is a visual search engine. A vertical 2:3 image with a clear title and a keyword-rich description is easier to read in the feed and easier for Pinterest to understand. Titles over 100 characters and descriptions over 500 are cut off, so checking them first saves you from publishing a Pin that looks unfinished.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Pinterest Pin size?
The standard size is 1000 x 1500 pixels, a 2:3 vertical ratio. Taller Pins such as 1000 x 1778 also work, but very tall images can be cropped.
How long can a Pin title and description be?
Pinterest allows up to 100 characters for the title and 500 for the description. Put your main keyword near the start of both.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The checker reads the image locally in your browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
Ready to design your Pin?
Make a 4-photo collage Pin with PinMaker. It is free and your photos never leave your device.
What the Pinterest Pin checker looks at
A good Pin is more than a nice picture. Pinterest reads your image, your title, your description and your alt text to decide who should see it. The Pinterest Pin checker on this page reviews all of those parts in one place and gives you a score out of 100.
Everything runs in your browser. You choose an image, type the text you plan to use, and the checker shows which items are fine and which need work. Nothing is uploaded, so you can test unfinished designs without sharing them.
How to use the Pinterest Pin checker
- Click the upload area, or drop an image onto it. A preview appears right away.
- Type your Pin title. The tool tells you if it is too short or longer than 100 characters.
- Paste your Pin description and check that it opens with your main keyword.
- Add alt text that describes the picture in plain words.
- Read the list of results and fix every item marked with a warning or a cross.
Tips for a higher Pin score
- Use a vertical 2:3 image such as 1000 by 1500 pixels, which takes up more room in the feed.
- Put your main keyword near the start of the title and the first sentence of the description.
- Keep the file under 5 MB so the Pin loads quickly on mobile.
- Use a few relevant hashtags at most. Long hashtag lists look spammy.
Once your Pin passes, you can design it in the PinMaker Pin editor or write better wording with the title and description generator. Pinterest publishes its own creative guidance in the Pinterest creative best practices page, which is a useful companion to this checker.
Pinterest Pin checker questions
Is the Pinterest Pin checker free?
Yes. It is free, has no limits and needs no account.
Does it upload my image?
No. The image stays in your browser and is never sent to our server.
What is a good score?
A score above 85 means your Pin follows the main recommendations. Anything below 60 needs more work.
