Scores the image file only, not how the pin will perform on Pinterest.

    Shaded areas: keep key text out of the outer margin and the corners where buttons appear when someone hovers on desktop.

    How to use the Pinterest Pin Analyzer

    1. 1

      Add your pin image

      Drop in the exported pin, choose it from your device, or paste a screenshot. The sample pin shows what the report looks like.

    2. 2

      Read the scorecard

      Green checks are fine, amber warnings are worth a look and red marks need fixing. Each line explains the problem and the fix. Colorfulness is shown for reference and does not affect the score.

    3. 3

      Check the overlays

      Use the thirds grid to judge balance, and the shaded text-safe zones to make sure your title and logo stay clear of the edges and the corners where hover buttons appear.

    A pin can have a great idea behind it and still be held back by simple problems: the wrong shape, a low resolution export, text too close to the edge, or colors so flat that the title disappears at feed size. This analyzer looks at your pin image and checks those basics: aspect ratio, resolution, brightness, contrast, colorfulness, file size and format. Each check comes with a short explanation and what to change.

    To be clear about what it does: it analyzes the image file, not how the pin performs. It cannot see your impressions, saves or clicks, and a high score does not promise reach. Use it as a pre-flight check. The image is analyzed in your browser and never uploaded.

    What each check means

    Aspect ratio compares the image with the 2:3 shape Pinterest recommends; images taller than 1:2.1 are cut off in the feed. Resolution checks that the image is at least 1000 pixels wide. Brightness is the average lightness from 0 to 100, and contrast is how spread out the light and dark values are. Low contrast usually means a title that is hard to read on a small screen.

    File size and format matter for uploading: Pinterest accepts images up to 20 MB, and JPG, PNG and WebP are safe choices. If a file is large, use the image compressor. To fix the shape of many images at once, use the aspect ratio checker.

    What this analyzer cannot tell you

    Whether a pin does well depends on the topic, the keywords in its title and description, the board it is saved to, timing, and what people are searching for. None of that is in the pixels. Pinterest Analytics is the only reliable source for how a pin performs.

    For the words around your pin, try the pin SEO checker. To see the image the way people meet it, at real phone size between other pins, use the mobile preview.

    Pinterest Pin Analyzer FAQ

    Can this tool predict how my pin will perform?

    No. It checks the image itself: shape, resolution, brightness, contrast, file size and format. Performance depends on keywords, timing and audience, which only Pinterest Analytics can show.

    What is a good contrast score?

    The contrast value is the spread of lightness across the image. Around 18 or more usually means a clear difference between text and background. Below about 11 the image looks flat and small text is hard to read.

    What are text-safe zones?

    They are the areas where text is at risk: the outer margin, which can feel cramped or be clipped by rounded corners, and the corners where buttons appear when someone hovers over a pin on desktop. Keep your title and logo outside the shaded areas.

    What resolution should a pin be?

    At least 1000 pixels wide. The standard size is 1000 × 1500 pixels at a 2:3 ratio, or 1080 × 1920 for long pins.

    Is my pin uploaded?

    No. The analysis runs in your browser and the image never leaves your device.
