What to watch out for on Pinterest
- 2:3 is the classic Pin shape and still performs, but 9:16 fills a phone screen on tap.
- Pinterest traffic keeps arriving months later, so avoid dated references in the frame.
- Text overlays survive here better than on other platforms because Pins get read, not scrolled past.
