Plan, create, schedule and analyze image, video and carousel Pins on Pinterest

Yes. Pinterest’s own scheduler handles one Pin at a time up to 30 days ahead, and PostEverywhere schedules image, video and carousel Pins to any of your boards through the official Pinterest API, with no 30-day cap.

Scheduling does not cost you reach. Pinterest treats a Pin published through its API the same as one made in the app; what moves distribution is the image, the description and how often people save and click, as our guide to how the Pinterest algorithm works explains.

On Pinterest, create a Pin on desktop and click the calendar icon beside Publish; in PostEverywhere, upload the image or video, pick a board, add a title, description and destination link, and choose a date or the next queue opening.

Lead time matters more on Pinterest than on most networks. Seasonal searches build 45 to 60 days before an event, so holiday Pins belong in the calendar well before Pinterest’s own 30-day window would let you schedule them. Evergreen tips and launches need one to two weeks.

Pinterest’s built-in scheduler is free; PostEverywhere has no free plan, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with full Pinterest scheduling, bulk upload and board selection.

You add a card to start, $0 is due today, and you can cancel before the trial ends; Lite is $9 a month after that (pricing). Among other tools, Buffer’s no-cost option covers three channels with 10 scheduled posts each, Publer’s covers three accounts (Pinterest accounts need at least 100 followers or a verified website), and Planable gives you your first 50 posts free.

The native scheduler is often enough for a few Pins a week on one account. It stops scaling when you want to plan past 30 days, upload a batch at once, run several Pinterest accounts or send the same visual to your other networks.

For most people it is PostEverywhere: every Pin gets its own board, section, title, description and destination link, you can bulk upload up to 200 Pins from a CSV or have an AI agent schedule them, and it publishes to all top platforms from the same calendar, from $9 a month.

Tailwind is built mainly around Pinterest, with SmartSchedule and Tailwind Communities, so it suits creators whose traffic comes almost entirely from Pinterest. PostEverywhere suits you when Pinterest is one of several networks or when an agent or the API keeps your Pin queue full. The comparison table and our Tailwind alternatives guide cover the rest.

Image Pins, video Pins and carousel Pins of 2 to 5 images; anything past five images is dropped.

Every Pin needs media, because Pinterest has no text-only Pin. Idea Pins no longer exist as a separate format, and Product Pins come from a catalog feed rather than a scheduler. Sizes for each are in our Pinterest aspect ratios guide.

Yes. A video Pin publishes with a cover image you upload in the composer, so the still people see before they tap is the one you designed rather than a random frame.

Video Pins run from 4 seconds to 15 minutes. AI agents cannot set the cover yet, so when an agent schedules a video Pin, open it in the composer and add the cover there.

Yes. Each scheduled Pin carries its own Board, Section, Pin Title, Description, Destination URL and Alt Text.

Leave the board empty and the Pin goes to your default board, then your first board. The Destination URL is the only click target, because Pinterest does not pull a link out of the description, and alt text of up to 500 characters helps screen readers. Group boards owned by someone else are not confirmed, so test one with a single Pin before planning a week around it.

No. Personal and business accounts can both connect and publish; you only need a Business or Creator account to see Pin analytics, and switching is free.

Analytics for those accounts show impressions, saves, Pin clicks and outbound clicks in PostEverywhere Analytics, refreshed through the day, so you can see which Pins sent people to your site and not just which were seen.

Plan it in the PostEverywhere content calendar, where every scheduled Pin sits by week or month alongside your other channels and you can drag one to a new day.

There is no official number of Pins per day. A steady few fresh Pins spread across relevant boards is easier to keep up than big bursts, and the Always on queue preset gives you two openings a day to start from. For subjects, our 100 Pinterest content ideas covers ten niches.

Yes. Pinterest has its own official API (version 5), and PostEverywhere’s REST API sits on top of it, so you schedule a Pin with one request and skip Pinterest’s app approval, OAuth and upload work.

With PostEverywhere you connect the Pinterest account once, create a key on the Developers page and send POST /v1/posts with the media, board, title and link. There is no endpoint for listing boards yet, so copy the board ID from the composer or from the board’s URL on Pinterest. The API is on every plan.

The Pinterest API guide lists every field, and our tutorial on scheduling Pins with an API walks through a working request.

Yes. PostEverywhere’s hosted MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients schedule Pins through the official Pinterest API, choosing the board and destination link for each one.

It is not made by Pinterest; PostEverywhere runs it on the accounts you connect, on every plan. Your agent can upload an image from a URL, write a search-friendly title and description, and publish, schedule or save the Pin as a draft. Setup is on the AI agents page.

Yes. Connect Claude (setup) or ChatGPT (setup) to PostEverywhere and ask for Pins in plain English: “pin these three photos to Gift Ideas next week, one a day, each linking to its product page”.

Name the board in your request so the Pin lands in the right place, and give the product or article page so the agent sets it as the link. Image Pins can go out end to end; video Pins need their cover added in the composer.

Yes. Scheduled Pins publish automatically at their time through the Pinterest API, with nothing to confirm on your phone.

Fill a season at once with a CSV of up to 200 Pins, set queue openings so new Pins take the next free slot, or let the API or an agent add them. Posting the same image to Instagram too? See posting to Instagram and Pinterest at the same time.

Connect several Pinterest accounts, personal or business, to one workspace and pick one per Pin.

Lite includes 2 connected accounts, Starter 5, Growth 10 and Scale 20, counted across every network you connect. On Starter and above, members can submit Pins for approval before they go live.
