Rich Pin Metadata Checker

Pinterest Rich Pins Validator

Paste any URL and instantly see whether your Open Graph tags, Article, Recipe, or Product metadata are set up correctly — so Pinterest can read your pages and display Rich Pins the way you intended.

Page URL

Checking your page…

Fetching the page and inspecting Open Graph, Schema.org, and Twitter Card markup.

How to validate your Pinterest Rich Pins

  1. Paste a URL: Enter the full address of any blog post, recipe, or product page on your site.
  2. Review the results: The validator fetches your page and displays the Open Graph and meta tags Pinterest will read, flagging anything that is missing or incorrect.
  3. Fix the issues: Update your theme, plugin settings, or HTML to add the missing tags. Most WordPress SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math) handle this automatically once configured.
  4. Re-check: Run the URL again after making changes to confirm your metadata looks correct before submitting to Pinterest.

Turn valid Rich Pins into published traffic

Made to Spark connects to your WordPress blog or Shopify store, generates keyword-optimized pins for every post or product, and publishes them to Pinterest on a schedule — so you build a consistent presence without the manual work.

Get Started

What Rich Pins are and why they matter

Rich Pins pull structured metadata directly from your webpage and display it on the pin — giving pinners more context before they click. Pinterest supports three types:

Article Rich Pins

Show the headline, author, and story description below the pin image. Ideal for blog posts and news articles. Requires og:title, og:description, and og:image at minimum.

Recipe Rich Pins

Display the recipe title, serving size, cook time, and ratings. Powered by schema.org Recipe markup or Open Graph recipe tags. A strong driver of save rates in the food niche.

Product Rich Pins

Show real-time pricing, availability, and a link directly to your product page. Require og:price:amount and og:availability in addition to the standard Open Graph tags.

The validator checks all three

Paste any URL and the tool identifies which Rich Pin type applies, shows every tag Pinterest will read, and highlights what is missing or incorrectly formatted.

FAQ

What are Rich Pins?

Rich Pins pull structured metadata directly from your webpage and display it on the pin itself — such as the article headline, recipe details, or product price. They give pinners more context before clicking, which typically improves engagement and saves.

Pinterest's Rich Pin validator is gone — how do I check now?

Pinterest retired their own validator tool. You can use this validator to paste any URL and check whether your Open Graph and meta tags are correctly set up. It shows you exactly what Pinterest will read from your page and flags anything that needs fixing.

Why aren't my Rich Pins showing?

The most common causes are missing or incorrectly formatted Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url), a page that blocks external crawlers, or new metadata that Pinterest hasn't indexed yet. Run your URL through this validator to see exactly which tags are present and whether their values look correct.

Do I need to apply for Rich Pins?

Pinterest used to require a separate application step, but that process has been simplified. As long as your pages have valid Open Graph or schema.org markup, Pinterest will typically display Rich Pins automatically when it crawls your content. Use this validator to confirm your metadata is in order.

Does this tool need an account?

No signup is required. You can validate a limited number of URLs per day as a guest. Create an account for a higher daily limit and access to the full Made to Spark pin planning suite.
