Direct answer
A Pinterest ad maker creates vertical, image-first ad creative sized for Pinterest, where the recommended format is a 2:3 aspect ratio at 1000x1500 pixels. Adscreator generates on-brand Pinterest creative from your product description or URL, writes the pin title and description, and renders it vertical so the feed does not crop your logo or call to action. You get several variants to test, then export PNG or JPG and upload them in Pinterest Ads Manager yourself.
The problem
Pinterest is a planning surface, and it shows creative tall. Drop a square Facebook ad into it and the pin looks small, off-format, and obviously borrowed from somewhere else. Native Pinterest creative is vertical and lifestyle-led, which means yet another design pass that most lean teams have no room for.
How Adscreator handles it
Adscreator builds Pinterest-native creative alongside the rest of your ads. From a description or URL it generates on-brand lifestyle visuals in the 2:3 vertical format Pinterest recommends, and writes the pin title and description that earn the click. You get multiple variants to A/B test which image and angle drive saves and clicks, on flat monthly pricing with no credits to ration. You stay in control: export the pins as PNG or JPG and upload them in your own Pinterest Ads Manager, Adscreator never touches your ad accounts.
specs
Pinterest ad specs, format by format.
Pinterest is stricter about shape than most feeds and looser about text than any of them, which is an unusual combination. You get 100 characters of title and 500 of description, but only the first line or so is visible in the feed, so the image still has to carry the message. These are the 2026 specs. Adscreator produces the static image formats below plus the title and description text.
| Ad format | Size and ratio | Text limits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard image Pin | 1000 x 1500 (2:3) | Title up to 100 characters, description up to 500 | PNG or JPG up to 20 MB |
| Carousel | 1000 x 1500 (2:3) or 1000 x 1000 (1:1) | Title up to 100, description up to 500 | 2 to 5 cards, up to 32 MB per card |
| Idea ad frame | 1080 x 1920 (9:16) | Up to 250 characters per frame | Text renders inside an overlay box |
| Collections | 1000 x 1500 hero plus 1:1 product images | Title up to 100, description up to 500 | Hero image plus at least 3 product images |
| Video Pin | 9:16, 1:1, or 2:3 at 1080p or better | Same title and description limits | Adscreator makes static creative, not video |
Only about the first 30 to 40 characters of a pin title show in the feed, so lead with the substance and let the rest run long for search. The 2:3 vertical is the format to build first: it fills the most screen on mobile and is the shape Pinterest optimizes its grid around. Taller than 2:3 gets truncated in the feed, which is why 1000 x 1500 rather than a 9:16 crop is the default for standard Pins.
Pinterest is a planning surface, so the creative sells the idea, not the interruption
Most paid social interrupts someone doing something else, which is why the craft there is built around stopping a scroll. Pinterest works differently. People arrive with a project in mind, a kitchen they want to redo, a trip they are half planning, an outfit for a wedding in October, and they are actively looking for things to save. That changes what good creative looks like. A hard-sell offer card that performs on Meta often lands flat on Pinterest, while a well-lit lifestyle image showing the product in the context of the project earns saves and clicks well beyond the campaign window. The other consequence is timing: Pinterest users plan months ahead, so seasonal campaigns want to run considerably earlier there than on other channels, and evergreen pins keep generating traffic long after the budget stops. That long tail is the real argument for producing more pins rather than fewer, because unlike a feed ad, a pin that works keeps working.
The 2:3 vertical is not a resize, it is a different composition
The temptation is obvious: you already made a square for Instagram, so crop it to 2:3 and call it a Pinterest ad. The result reliably underperforms, and the reason is compositional rather than technical. A 1000 x 1500 frame gives you a third more vertical room than a square, and the pins that win use it, showing the product within a scene, leaving space for a short text overlay at the top or bottom, and keeping the logo somewhere that survives the grid view. A cropped square either loses the edges of the scene or leaves the product floating in the middle with dead space above and below, and next to natively composed pins it reads as borrowed. Text overlay deserves particular care here because Pinterest displays pins small in the grid: anything under roughly 40 pixels of rendered height is unreadable at browse size, and the pin has to earn its click there before anyone sees it full size. Adscreator composes the 2:3 frame natively from the same brief rather than cropping down from another ratio, which is the difference between a pin that looks native and one that looks repurposed.

questions
Pinterest ad maker: the questions people ask.
What size should a Pinterest ad be?
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio, 1000x1500 pixels, for standard image ads. Anything taller risks being cropped in the feed, which can cut off a logo or call to action. PNG and JPEG files are accepted. Adscreator outputs Pinterest creative in the 2:3 vertical format by default.
What is a promoted pin?
A promoted pin is an ordinary pin that a business pays to show to a targeted audience. Pinterest labels the format as a standard image ad in Ads Manager, though advertisers still say promoted pin. It sits inline with organic pins, so native, lifestyle-led creative outperforms a recycled banner.
Are Pinterest ads worth it?
Pinterest suits visual, considered purchases: home, fashion, beauty, food, weddings, because people arrive planning a buy rather than being entertained. Clicks are often cheaper than Meta, but audience volume is smaller. It is worth testing if your product photographs well and the creative genuinely looks native to the feed.
How much does a Pinterest ad maker cost?
Adscreator starts at $39 per month (Starter), or $29 per month billed yearly. There is no free plan. Pricing is flat and there are no credits to ration, so you can generate a fresh batch of pin variants every week without watching a balance drop.

Pinterest is a vertical, save-driven feed, so the craft that works there is the same craft that works in Stories and Reels. Our guide to scroll stopping ad creative covers the hooks that earn attention in a feed, and social media ad sizes lists the dimensions for every other placement you will export alongside your pins.
If Pinterest is one channel in a wider mix, the social media ad maker builds the same idea for Meta and TikTok, and Etsy sellers tend to run both surfaces from one set of product visuals.
