From delectable photos of the latest trending air fryer recipes to the most serene minimal coffee table decor, <\/span>Pinterest images<\/span><\/a> are the ultimate sources of inspiration for anyone looking to curate their dream life. Because the interface is so <\/span>eye-catching<\/span>, user friendly, and just so darn pretty, it’s easy to forget that Pinterest is a major <\/span>social media platform<\/span> that <\/span>bloggers<\/span> and influencers use to generate a ton of traffic to their websites and establish their brand aesthetic. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, at the close of 2020, Pinterest had 442 million monthly active users worldwide. With a user base that is massive, it’s never been more important or convenient to know how to create <\/span>Pinterest images<\/span> that will guarantee major views, <\/span>repins<\/span> to users’ <\/span>Pinterest boards<\/span>, and redirects to your blog or website. Even if you’re just an average <\/span>pinner<\/span>, learn how to search for <\/span>Pinterest images<\/span> and <\/span>create pins<\/span> that will show off your personal style and curate <\/span>Pinterest boards<\/span> to help you organize your recipes, seasonal fashion looks, workout <\/span>infographics<\/span>, and <\/span>DIY<\/span> projects to help you get through your stay-at-home weekends!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Search for Images on Pinterest<\/span><\/h2>\n

After establishing itself as one of the most-visited and most-used photo saving and sharing <\/span>social media platforms<\/span>, Pinterest has fine-tuned and almost perfected how users can find and share images with their friends and followers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pinterest Search Bar<\/b><\/p>\n

Pinterest’s main <\/span>search engine<\/span> lives in the search bar at the top of the web page or app. Users can simply click on the search bar and type in keywords to help them find the <\/span>Pinterest images<\/span>, <\/span>Pinterest boards<\/span>, people, or hashtags they’re looking for. If you’re not sure exactly what you’re looking for, type in generic keywords like “home decor” and the <\/span>search engine<\/span> will offer hints or provide specific keywords to help you narrow your search.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pinterest Visual Search<\/b><\/p>\n

Probably the coolest feature Pinterest has to offer, the Visual Search tool allows users to search for images using cues from an image you select. If you click on the Visual Search logo at the bottom right of the image, a moveable box will appear and Pinterest will scan elements of your image to find <\/span>related images<\/span> and <\/span>related pins<\/span> inspired by the original image. This tool helps <\/span>pinners<\/span> expand their search and explore their options, which exposes them to new images or products they may not have had access to before. Essentially the Pinterest Visual Search categorizes images and assigns keywords to uploaded images to provide users with the most accurate recommendations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pinterest Lens<\/b><\/p>\n

The Pinterest Lens tool is another way for users to customize their Pinterest searches. Using your <\/span>iPhone<\/span> or <\/span>Android<\/span>, point your camera at an ingredient you’re hoping to use for a recipe or an item of clothing you’re hoping to style and snap a photo. You can also select a photo from your phone’s camera roll. Pinterest will generate <\/span>related pins<\/span> and ideas for inspiration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Download <\/b>Pinterest Images<\/b><\/p>\n

Do you ever want to keep and reference a <\/span>Pinterest image<\/span> without having to save it to a board? Pinterest allows you to download images to your phone or computer for easy access.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click on the exact pin you would like to save.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Click on the three-dot menu icon to open up your options.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Select Download Image to save the <\/span>Pinterest image<\/span> to your device.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Elements of a Good Pinterest Image<\/span><\/h2>\n

    If you’ve used Pinterest long enough, you know the difference between a <\/span>high-quality<\/span>, <\/span>eye-catching<\/span> image and one that you just scroll by uninterestedly. There are many differences between engaging and otherwise lackluster <\/span>Pinterest images<\/span>. Read on to find out how to set your <\/span>Pinterest image<\/span> apart and collect all the clicks!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Vertical Design<\/b><\/p>\n

    The first thing to remember about creating a good <\/span>Pinterest image<\/span> is that the <\/span>social media platform<\/span>‘s grid-like feed displays images in a vertical format. Pinterest recommends designing vertical pins to be 735 <\/span>pixels<\/span> wide with a maximum length of 2,061 <\/span>pixels<\/span>. This ensures your content will look crisp and clear and display beautifully on the home feed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    High-quality<\/b> Composition<\/b><\/p>\n

    This goes without saying, but beautiful photography and stunning composition win the race on the highly visual and sophisticated <\/span>social media platform<\/span>. As users scroll through their feeds, a well-composed and well-edited photo will grab the attention of even the most discerning <\/span>pinners<\/span>. Make sure your images have a professional look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
