What This Tool Does
The Pinterest Character Counter helps you write pin descriptions, titles, and board descriptions that fit within Pinterest's character limits. Preset buttons let you switch between different content types instantly.
Pinterest is a visual discovery platform, but your text still matters for searchability. Pin titles, descriptions, and board names all have specific limits, and writing within them ensures your content displays properly across devices.
How to Use This Tool
- Select a preset: Pin Description (500), Pin Title (100), Board Description (500), or Board Name (50).
- Type or paste your text into the input field.
- Watch the character count update in real time.
- Review the progress bar to see how close you are to the limit.
- Copy the text when you're ready to use it on Pinterest.
Why Character Limits Matter
Pinterest uses your text for search indexing and display, so staying within limits is essential for both visibility and presentation.
- Pin titles are limited to 100 characters and appear prominently in search results and feeds.
- Pin descriptions can be up to 500 characters and are used by Pinterest's search algorithm.
- Board names are capped at 50 characters — keep them concise and descriptive.
- Truncated descriptions look unprofessional and may reduce click-through rates.
- Keyword-rich descriptions within the limit improve your pin's discoverability.
