Pinterest Character Limits Overview
Pinterest currently allows up to 100 characters for a Pin title, 800 characters for a Pin description, and 500 characters for a profile bio. The limits below help you check the field you are writing without relying on an outdated generic count.
Character Limits for Pins
Pinterest pins have moderate character limits designed to complement the visual content.
Pin Descriptions (800 characters)
Pinterest's current Pin specifications allow descriptions up to 800 characters. Write a clear description that accurately explains the Pin; you do not need to fill the entire field.
Pin Titles (100 characters)
Pin titles are limited to 100 characters. Use a specific title that tells people what the Pin contains or what they will find after clicking.
Character Limits for Pinterest Profile
Your Pinterest profile has specific character limits to maintain clarity and scannability.
Profile Bio (500 characters)
Pinterest Help currently allows up to 500 characters in the profile bio. Lead with who you are and what people can expect from your Pins.
Best Practices for Pinterest Character Limits
Treat a character limit as a ceiling, not a target. Make the useful information easy to understand before adding more copy.
Lead with the useful detail
Start the title and description with the subject or benefit instead of an introduction that only makes sense after several lines.
Stop when the description is complete
A concise, accurate description is better than filling every available character with repeated phrases.
Write Compelling Pin Titles
Use enough of the 100-character title allowance to identify the idea clearly. Keep the main subject readable on smaller screens.
