Methods of Making Pinterest Images

Today i made a decision to write down a post which will answer an issue many of my readers have – the way to make Pinterest images that attract attention and generate repins, also as traffic to your site or blog. As for me, Pinterest brings about 80% of the traffic, and it blows my mind!

I know that a lot of bloggers have similar statistics. consistent with a search made in 2015 by Shareaholic, Pinterest was the second social media traffic referrer following Facebook. Even more interesting, in 2015 it had been driving about 5 times more traffic than Twitter!

If you’re reading this post, you almost certainly already know that Pinterest works as an excellent traffic generator for several niches, and you don’t need to write only about recipes, crafts, and fashion. Knowing that Pinterest is important for growing your blog, perhaps you were wondering, a bit like me at the beginning of my experience with this platform, what are the Pinterest Image Tips you ought to follow for the simplest results?

The first question you ought to answer to yourself – what’s the perfect Pinterest image size.

Most importantly, your images MUST be vertical! About 80% of Pinterest users browse the boards on mobile devices, which is why Pinterest prefers images with a facet ratio 2:3.

For example, your images are often 650 pixels wide then the peak should be 975. within Pinterest’s official guide, the recommended minimum width of images is 600 pixels. within the guide published in 2020, Pinterest has even mentioned as a recommended pin size 1000*1500 pixels.

Longer pins are better for getting more repins and traffic as they occupy more room on the feed, making it hard to pass for shorter pins.

Who should we hear when trying to find Pinterest Image Tips? We could look around a number of the foremost popular pins and check out to form our own conclusions, but to urge an objective opinion, we’d need to analyze an excessive amount of data.

Luckily, this job was finished by a startup called Curalate. In 2013 they conducted a search supported the analysis of 30 different visual characteristics (for example, colors, sizes, textures, the presence of faces, etc.) with a powerful sample of 500k images on Pinterest!

The most significant Pinterest Image Tips supported the results of this examination include:

Pinterest Images with faces receive 23% fewer repins. Your image should include a minimum of a couple of vibrant colors – yellow, pink, red, etc. Images with red, pink tones get on the average twice more repins than images with blue tones!

3. It’s recommended to use a contextual background as against an easy monocolored background (for example, plain white). The background should add some aiming to the pin!

4. Too dark images receive 20 times less repins than images with medium lightness. Don’t use too dark photos or wholly white images as a background for your pins often as users prefer the golden middle.

Additional Pinterest Image Tips from the platform itself:

Keep a balance with branding elements. When your logo or site domain occupies an excessive amount of space on the image, it’s sort of a direct advertisement and users avoid sharing such content. Quality! Well, no got to discuss this, images of high resolution look better and obtain more repins. Now, as you recognize all the theoretical a part of creating the foremost efficient Pinterest graphics, I’ll answer our initial practical question, which is the way to make Pinterest images, which tools to use?

Most of the days, you can’t just use an image or photo because it is, and upload it to Pinterest. First and foremost, because you would like to feature your post title as a text to the present image. Adding text may be a part you ought to never skip because once you scroll down the Pinterest content, mostly pins that don’t contain any text, remain completely invisible, they only don’t catch your attention. For me, they appear like something unfinished, something that appeared in my feed by mistake.

If you already skills to use Adobe Photoshop, a minimum of the fundamentals, it’ll be quite easy for you to make the custom and tailored Pinterest images. If you don’t know yet, you’ll scroll down this post, I added a really simple tutorial that permits you to edit during a few clicks the FREE Pinterest image templates Nuno and that I offer here.

If you don’t know anything about Photoshop and don’t want to urge into any details, you’ll use these online image editing tools:

Canva PicMonkey Both tools have free (limited functionality) versions, but you’ll always attempt to later upgrade to a professional version. If you sign-up for PicMonkey using my link, i’d receive alittle commission (only if and once you move to the paid version).

As for Nuno and that i , we use old-school, solid Photoshop, you’ll check here their monthly subscription plans, quite affordable.
