Instagram posts are square (1:1) or portrait (4:5), and both are shorter than the 2:3 shape Pinterest recommends. Rather than cropping the post, this converter keeps it at full width and uses the extra height for a title band, either above or below it. Or it places the post on a blurred background with the title on top.
Instagram captions are written for followers, while Pinterest titles are found through search, so the band is the place for a searchable title like "Easy Summer Linen Outfits". The image stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
Square and 4:5 posts on a 2:3 pin
A square post at full width leaves 500 pixels for the band, enough for a large two-line title. A 4:5 post is taller, so the converter trims a little from its top and bottom to keep the band at least 360 pixels high and the title readable on a phone.
The blurred layout keeps the whole post with rounded corners and a shadow, and suits photos where nothing can be cropped, such as a carousel cover with text on it.
What to link an Instagram pin to
Pinterest pins can link anywhere, which Instagram posts cannot. Link to a blog post, a product page or a landing page that matches the title. Linking to the Instagram post works too, but it sends people into an app where they may not stay.
Have several posts on one topic? Combine them with the collage maker, or make a series with the carousel maker.
