About Pinterest Character Limits

Pinterest pin descriptions have a 500-character limit and play a crucial role in discoverability. Pinterest is a visual search engine, so descriptions should be keyword-rich while remaining natural and helpful. Effective pin descriptions tell users what they'll learn or achieve, include relevant keywords for search, and provide enough context to make clicking worthwhile. Since pins are often saved and repinned, clear descriptions help your content reach the right audience over time.
