Pinterest Pin Readiness Checker

Paste any blog post or product URL. We download every image on the page, measure its real dimensions, and tell you which ones Pinterest will actually reward — and which ones are quietly costing you reach.

Checking your page…

Downloading every image on the page and measuring its real dimensions.

How to check whether your images are ready to pin

  1. Paste a URL: Enter the address of any blog post, product page, or listing on your site.
  2. Review each image: The checker downloads every image on the page and reports its true width, height, and aspect ratio — not the size your theme claims in the HTML.
  3. Fix the weak ones: Add a vertical 2:3 image at least 600px wide, write descriptive alt text, and remove any nopin tag blocking saves.
  4. Re-check: Run the URL again to confirm the page has at least one pin-ready image before you promote it.

No pinnable images? We'll make them

Most blogs fail this check for the same reason: the theme only outputs one landscape featured image. Made to Spark reads any page and generates a month of vertical 2:3 pins built to the exact dimensions Pinterest rewards — then publishes them on a schedule.

What makes an image pin-ready

Shape beats everything

A 2:3 image occupies roughly twice the vertical feed space of a landscape one. Since Pinterest is an infinite vertical scroll, shape is the single largest lever on how far a pin travels.

Width sets the ceiling

Below roughly 600px wide, images render soft on retina screens. 1000×1500 is the reference size, and it is what this checker scores against.

Alt text becomes the description

When a reader saves your image with the browser button, Pinterest seeds the pin description from its alt text. Empty alt means a pin with no keywords attached.

A single tag can block everything

A <meta name="pinterest" content="nopin"> tag silently disables saving across your whole site. Plenty of themes ship it by accident.

Images are only half the picture — Rich Pin markup controls the title, description, and price Pinterest displays.

FAQ

What image size does Pinterest want?

Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio, with 1000×1500 pixels as the reference size. Anything narrower than about 600px renders poorly, and images wider than they are tall take up far less vertical space — which is the main thing driving reach on Pinterest.

Why can nobody pin images from my blog?

Three usual causes: a nopin meta tag blocking saves site-wide, images too small for Pinterest to accept, or a theme that only outputs landscape featured images. This checker tests all three so you can stop guessing.

Does image alt text matter for Pinterest?

Yes. When someone saves an image using the browser button, Pinterest seeds the pin description from that image's alt text. Missing alt text means the pin arrives with an empty description, costing you keyword relevance in Pinterest search.

How is this different from the Rich Pins Validator?

The Rich Pins Validator checks the metadata Pinterest reads from your page — title, description, price. This checker looks at the images themselves, measuring whether their real dimensions and shape will perform. Most sites need both.
