How to use the Pinterest character counter

Checking a Pin title or description with this Pinterest character counter takes three steps.

  1. Choose the field

    Pin title, Pin description, board, bio or username.

  2. Paste or type

    See the count against the limit and the part that shows in the feed.

  3. Front-load keywords

    Put the words people search for in the first 40 characters of the title.

Example

A 59-character Pin title fits the 100 limit, but only about the first 40 characters show in the feed, so “Weeknight Dinner for Two” is likely to be cut off.

Pinterest title character limit

The Pinterest title character limit is 100 characters, but only about the first 40 show in the feed. Pinterest search reads the whole title, so use the full length for keywords and put the most important ones first.

Pinterest description character limit

The Pinterest description character limit is 500 characters. In the feed only about the first 50 to 60 characters show, while the full description appears when someone opens the Pin. Write natural sentences that include the words people search for; Pinterest ranks descriptions by keywords, and hashtags matter much less than they used to.

Pinterest bio and board character limits

  • About (bio): 160 characters.
  • Board name: 50 characters. Clear, searchable names work best.
  • Board description: 500 characters.
  • Username: 3 to 30 characters, letters, numbers and underscores only.
