Pinterest Posts

Use Picmim to plan and publish Pinterest content with the board, title, description, and destination link already organized. This guide covers the Pinterest formats Picmim currently focuses on.

Overview

Picmim supports Pinterest publishing for the formats that map cleanly to the current Pinterest publishing API, with a workflow centered on boards, visuals, titles, descriptions, and links.

Supported Formats

Pinterest publishing in Picmim focuses on the core pin formats used for traffic, product, and brand campaigns.

1. Standard Pins with an image, title, description, and destination link.
2. Video Pins built from a single video asset.
3. Board-based publishing so each pin lands in the correct board.

Media Requirements

Choose strong vertical visuals and confirm the board details before you schedule a Pinterest pin.

1. Use a high-quality image for a Standard Pin.
2. Use one video file for a Video Pin.
3. Set the board, title, description, and destination link before publishing.
4. Review the final Pinterest preview so the title and board match the intent of the pin.

Scheduling Behavior

Pinterest pins are scheduled from the Picmim editor with the board and link destination included in the publishing workflow.

1. Choose the Pinterest account and target board.
2. Attach the image or video that fits the pin type.
3. Add the title, description, and destination link.
4. Schedule the pin for the date and time you want.

Platform Limits

Pinterest publishing in Picmim is intentionally focused on the formats that work reliably with the current API.

1. Standard Pins remain the primary Pinterest workflow.
2. Video Pins are supported as single-video pin publishing.
3. Board selection, title, description, and link should always be set before scheduling.
4. Keep pin creative aligned with Pinterest's visual-first layout.

Unsupported or API-Limited Features

Picmim does not position Idea Pins, Story Pins, or Carousel Pins as supported Pinterest publishing formats. Keep your workflow focused on Standard Pins and supported Video Pins.

1. Use Standard Pins for the most common Pinterest publishing workflow.
2. Use Video Pins when the content should publish as one video asset.
3. Avoid planning Pinterest campaigns around unsupported legacy or API-limited pin formats.

Tips and Troubleshooting

If a Pinterest pin fails, the first things to check are the selected board, the link destination, and whether the media matches the intended pin type.

1. Confirm the correct board was selected.
2. Check the destination link before publishing.
3. Use an image for Standard Pins and one video file for Video Pins.
4. Reconnect the Pinterest account if the publishing token expired.
