Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upload Instagram Reels as Pinterest Idea Pins?

Yes. Download the Reel video, then upload it to Pinterest as an Idea Pin (video pin). The 9:16 format works perfectly on Pinterest.

What video specs does Pinterest require?

Pinterest supports MP4 and MOV formats, 9:16 or 2:3 aspect ratios, and videos between 4 seconds and 5 minutes. Most Reels fit these specs natively.

Will Pinterest's audience discover my video?

Pinterest is search-driven, so add keyword-rich titles and descriptions. Your video can surface in search results for months or even years, unlike the short lifespan of a Reel.

Adding a text overlay with the topic or tip helps on Pinterest, since many users browse with sound off. A clear thumbnail also boosts click-through rates.
