Frequently asked questions
How long can a Pinterest pin title be?
A Pinterest pin title can be up to 100 characters. Only about the first 40 characters are likely to show in the feed, so put the main keyword and the most useful words first. This generator aims for 50 to 70 characters per title.
What makes a good Pinterest pin title?
A good pin title names the topic in the words people search for and says what they get by clicking. "15 small kitchen storage ideas for renters" works better than "Kitchen inspo" because it carries a keyword, a number and an audience in under 50 characters.
Should I put keywords in my pin title?
Yes. The pin title is one of the main text signals Pinterest uses to match a pin to searches, along with the description, the board and the text on the image. Use one main keyword near the start and write the rest as a normal sentence.
Should the pin title match my blog post title?
It does not have to. The pin title should describe the same content, but you can shorten it, lead with the keyword or change the angle. Writing several different titles for one post lets you publish several pins to the same link.
What title styles can I choose?
There are eight styles: click-worthy, keyword-first, how-to, listicle, question, benefit-led, inspirational and trending. How-to and listicle titles suit tutorials and roundups, question titles suit advice posts, and keyword-first titles are the plainest option for search.
How many titles does the generator write?
Each run writes up to 10 pin titles, and you can run it twice a day without an account. It writes in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese, and you can edit any title after copying it.
