Pinterest Character Counter — Pin Title & Description Limits

Pinterest character limits

Pinterest gives a Pin a title of up to 100 characters and a description of up to 500 characters. Only the first ~40 characters of the title and the first line or two of the description show in the feed, so lead with your keywords. This tool counts both fields live so your Pins stay searchable and never get cut off mid-thought.

Write for Pinterest search

Pinterest is a visual search engine, so descriptions are about discovery, not just captions. Put your primary keyword in the first 40–60 characters of the title and weave natural keywords plus a few relevant hashtags into the description. Describe what the Pin shows and why someone should click — that context helps Pinterest match your Pin to the right searches.

Titles, descriptions, and boards

Each Pinterest field has its own limit: Pin titles 100 characters, Pin descriptions 500, board titles around 50, and board descriptions 500. Your profile “about” line is much shorter at roughly 160 characters. Emoji and non-Latin scripts count as characters, so the live counter shows exactly how much room is left in each field.

Private and instant

Type or paste a Pin title and description to see character counts and remaining space at a glance. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded. Trim until both fields sit within Pinterest’s limits, then copy them into the Pin builder.
