High-Quality Only
Vertical images with high resolution tend to outperform horizontal ones in the Pinterest feed, where vertical scrolling is the primary interaction.
Bold Overlays
Use clear, readable text overlays to communicate your message instantly as users scroll through their feeds.
Brand Consistency
Place your logo consistently, usually at the top or bottom center, to build brand recognition over time.
