Pinterest formats
Each format is checked against Pinterest’s own rules while you write, so problems show up in the composer instead of at publishing time.
One image; 2:3 works best, like 1000 × 1500
2 to 5 images, in the order you set
One video, 4 seconds to 15 minutes
How it works
Sign in with Pinterest and approve Postivate. Personal and business accounts both work, and each account becomes a channel in the workspace you choose.
Add one image, a carousel of 2 to 5 images or one video. The post text becomes the Pin’s description, up to 500 characters, and you can add a title of up to 100 and the link the Pin leads to.
If the workspace needs approval, the post waits for the right person, who can approve it or send it back with a comment. An approval covers the exact version that was reviewed, so an edit afterwards goes back for review.
Pick one of the account’s boards, listed live from Pinterest, or create a new one right there. Postivate publishes the Pin to it at your time, and impressions, saves and clicks start coming in.
Every Pin lives on a board, so the composer lists the account’s own boards straight from Pinterest. Pick one for the Pin, or type a name and create a new board without leaving Postivate. The board is saved with the post, so it’s set when the Pin goes out.
The post text becomes the Pin’s description, with room for 500 characters. Add a title of up to 100 to lead the Pin, and a destination link so a tap takes people to your shop, recipe or article. Postivate checks each one against Pinterest’s limits while you write.
Pin one image, a carousel of 2 to 5 images that people swipe in the order you set, or one video between 4 seconds and 15 minutes. For a video Pin, the video’s poster frame is used as its cover.
Pinterest analytics
Pinterest reports impressions, saves, Pin clicks, outbound clicks, reactions and comments for each Pin. Postivate works out engagements from saves, reactions and comments, and leaves clicks out, so the engagement rate compares with your other networks. Followers are recorded daily.

Good to know
A few things about how Pinterest works with scheduling apps, from what we’ve learned building for it.
Pinterest favors 2:3 images, like 1000 × 1500 pixels. Crop to that shape before you upload; the free Pinterest image size guide does it in your browser.
People find Pins by searching. Put the words they’d type in the title and the first line of the description, and leave the hashtag pile out.
A destination link turns a Pin into a way to your shop, recipe or article. Outbound clicks show how many people followed it.
Pinterest has no threads, replies or first comments. The image, title, description and link are the whole Pin, so put what matters there.
Beyond Pinterest
Pinterest is one channel in Postivate. Write once, give each network its own version, and keep approvals, the calendar and the results in one place.
Ask the assistant to shorten, translate or rework a post for Pinterest, in your brand’s voice. What it writes is a draft you edit.
