Frequently asked questions
What is the character limit for a Pinterest bio?
A Pinterest bio, the About field on your profile, can be up to 500 characters. Only the first line or two shows before people have to expand it, which is why this generator keeps every bio to 160 characters or fewer.
What should I write in my Pinterest bio?
Say who you are, what you pin about and who it is for, in one or two short sentences. Use the words people search for, such as "easy vegan dinners" rather than "food lover", and finish with a reason to follow or visit your site.
Should I include keywords in my Pinterest bio?
Yes. Pinterest uses the words in your display name and bio to understand what your account covers, and profiles can appear in search results. Work two or three topic keywords into natural sentences rather than listing them with commas.
Can I use emojis in a Pinterest bio?
Yes, Pinterest accepts emojis in the About field, and one or two can break up the text. Keep them relevant to your topic and do not replace keywords with them, because Pinterest cannot read an emoji as a search term.
How do I change my Pinterest bio?
Open Pinterest, select your profile picture, go to Settings and then Edit profile. Type or paste the new text into the About field and save. You can change it as often as you like, so update it whenever what you pin about changes.
How many bios does the generator write?
Each run writes up to 5 bios of 160 characters or fewer, and you can run it twice a day without an account. It writes in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese, in a fun, professional, elegant or inspirational tone.
Does the bio generator work for business accounts?
Yes. Describe what the business sells or teaches, pick the professional tone, and the bios will lead with what you offer and who it is for. The About field works the same way on personal and business accounts.
