Roundup posts, such as "25 easy dinner recipes" or "15 Thanksgiving side dishes", are some of the most saved food content on Pinterest. People search for a meal idea, not one exact dish, and a list gives them choices. The pin for a roundup needs to show that variety at a glance.
This maker lays out 2 to 9 food photos in a grid and puts the number and the title in a band between them, above them or below them. Add your photos, type the count and the title, and pick colors that match your blog. The pin is 1000 x 1500 pixels, the standard 2:3 shape, and it is made on your device.
What makes a roundup pin work
The number does much of the work. It tells people how much they get, and odd, specific numbers such as 17 or 23 read as a real list. Keep the title to the search phrase people use: "easy dinner recipes", "high protein meals", "soup recipes".
Choose photos that look different from each other: different colors, different dishes, some close and some wide. Six photos are a good middle. With nine, each one is small, so use bright, simple shots.
Topics that are searched on Pinterest right now
In Pinterest Trends for the United States, the top food searches over the past year include easy dinner recipes, healthy dinner recipes, breakfast ideas, chicken recipes, soup recipes and crockpot meals. Seasonal lists rise sharply before each holiday, with Thanksgiving sides, appetizers and desserts climbing through November.
Plan a roundup pin a few weeks before the season. For a single recipe, use the recipe pin maker, and for a party or holiday menu, the holiday menu pin maker.
