The bottom panel layout gives the photo the top of the pin and sets the title in a solid panel beneath it. Nothing sits on top of the image, which also means the whole frame can be used, so the picture stays clean and the headline gets a quiet, high-contrast space of its own. The result looks closer to a magazine page than to a banner. That calm look is the main reason to pick it.

This is the layout to choose when the photo is the draw and you do not want to cover any of it. Food, interiors, fashion, and travel images all benefit. Pair a refined serif with a muted panel color and the pin looks calm among louder, text-heavy neighbors in a feed. It also scales well, since the same structure works at every size the editor offers.
The upper portion of the pin is entirely photo. Click the image in the preview to drag it, then zoom with the corner handles or slider until the subject sits comfortably. With nothing overlapping it, even small details in the picture stay visible.
The panel below is a solid block of your band color. The bold uppercase title is auto-sized to fit, your line breaks are kept, and line spacing is adjustable. A looser line spacing gives an airy, editorial feel, while tighter spacing feels more compact and punchy.
Highlighted words in the title use the accent color, and a leading number is highlighted automatically. On a light panel, choose a deeper accent so the highlight still reads. On a dark panel, a lighter accent works. Aim for clear contrast against the panel color.
The site name prints at the bottom of the panel, which keeps your brand visible without touching the photo. Saving it in the brand kit means it appears on every pin you make in this browser, along with your preferred fonts and colors.
Playfair Display, DM Serif Display, and Lora give the panel a magazine look that suits a quiet photo. Pair them with a soft panel color such as cream or sand. If you want something more modern, Raleway or Montserrat in a deep panel color keeps the same calm structure. Try two or three fonts before deciding, since the panel makes differences easy to compare. Small changes in weight change the whole mood of the pin. A lighter face feels quiet, while a heavier one feels confident.
Since no text covers the picture, you rarely need to dim it. Leave it at zero unless the image is overexposed. The strength of this layout is that the photo can stay true to the original, so let it look like your best shot. If you do dim it, a small amount is usually plenty, and a flat or hazy picture is better fixed before you import it.
Pull a muted tone from the image, such as the shade of a wall, a linen sofa, or the sand on a beach, and use a lighter or darker version for the panel. The pin then feels like one object rather than a photo with a caption attached. Check that the title color still meets a strong contrast level, especially once the pin is shrunk to phone size.
The panel has a fixed amount of space, so a long title simply shrinks. Two or three short lines let the type stay large and legible on a phone. If you need more words, put the extra detail in the post itself and let the pin carry the hook. A short, curious title often earns more clicks than a complete summary.
The panel meets the photo at the bottom edge, so anything important there is cropped tightly. Drag and zoom the image so the subject sits slightly above center. Leave a little room before the panel begins so nothing feels pinched against the edge of the photo.
A bright panel under a muted photo makes the pin look like two separate pieces. Choose a panel color that is related to the image, either a tint of one of its tones or a neutral such as cream or charcoal. Related colors make the pin feel intentional.
Mixing every font, adding a stroke, and highlighting several phrases works against the quiet look this layout is meant for. Use one font, one highlight, and let the generous space do the styling. A restrained title lets the photo and the layout carry the design.
Yes, it is probably the best fit. One photo fills the top area with nothing on it, and the panel below carries the title. You can drag and zoom the photo in the preview to choose exactly what stays in frame.
You can place a few photos in the top area. For two images side by side, the side-by-side layout is built for that. For a larger grid with the title in the middle, use the collage layout instead. Switching layouts keeps your title.
Soft neutrals such as cream, sand, and warm gray feel editorial, while deep tones such as navy or forest green feel bolder. Whatever you choose, make sure the title color contrasts strongly with the panel. The color presets are a quick starting point if you would rather not pick everything by hand.
