This free Pinterest character counter checks your Pin title against 100 characters and your description against 800. The switch next to the count flips between them.
It shows every other platform beside them, so you can see where else the same words fit.
Here are Pinterest's limits, what shows in the feed, and how to write Pin titles and descriptions.
Pinterest's character limits
| Text | Limit | How it counts |
|---|---|---|
 Pinterest title | 100 | Characters you see |
| Pinterest description | 800 | Characters you see |
Both limits come from Pinterest's Pin specs. Pinterest's bulk upload page lists 500 for the description, so keep to 500 if you upload Pins in bulk.
What shows in the feed
- The title: depending on the device, only the first 40 characters may show in people's feeds, per Pinterest's product specs. Put the main words first.
- The description: it doesn't show when someone sees the Pin in the home feed or search feed, per the Pin specs. Write it for search and for the people who open the Pin.
Writing Pin titles and descriptions
- Title: say what the Pin is in plain words, main keyword first.
- Description: explain what someone gets from clicking, with the words they'd search.
Post it everywhere
The counter above checks the same post on every platform at once, and each has its own page too: X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
When it's ready, turn it into an image for the feeds that want one with my post image generator, and schedule it with the tools on my creator tools page.
