How to create a Pinterest pin

Create an on-brand Pinterest pin with a title overlay from a text prompt with Morphic.

What is a Pinterest pin?

A Pinterest pin is the tall, vertical image that represents a piece of content in the Pinterest feed and on boards. It usually pairs a strong visual with a title overlay so a saver knows the topic at a glance and taps through to read more. Creators, bloggers, and marketers rely on pins because a clear, on-brand design gets saved and clicked far more than a plain photo.

With Morphic you create a pin from a text prompt in your browser. Describe your topic, the title text, and your brand look, then adjust and download in HD. You get a polished, correctly sized pin without opening design software or waiting on a designer.

1.

Pick the topic and title

Decide the single topic the pin promotes and the exact title text you want overlaid. Write the title before you generate so the pin has a clear, readable hook.

2.

Describe the layout

Open Morphic and describe a tall pin with a strong background image and a title overlay near the top or bottom. Ask for a 2:3 vertical ratio so the pin fills the Pinterest feed.

3.

Apply your brand look

Ask for your brand colors, a font style that reads clearly at small sizes, and a band or panel behind the title for contrast. Keep the text large so it stays legible when the pin appears as a thumbnail.

4.

Generate versions to choose from

Produce two pin designs for the same topic with different layouts or emphasis so you can pick the one that reads best. A quick comparison often reveals which version makes the title jump out.

5.

Check legibility and export

Preview each pin at thumbnail size and confirm the title stays sharp and easy to read. Download in HD, then upload it to Pinterest and link it to your content.

FAQs

Can I add a title overlay?

Yes. Specify the exact title text in your prompt, and the pin renders around it. You can regenerate with new wording any time.

What size should a Pinterest pin be?

A 2:3 vertical ratio works best. Ask for that shape and the layout fills the Pinterest feed and boards cleanly.

Can I match my brand colors and font?

Yes. Describe your brand colors and font style, and the pin renders to match. Keep contrast high so the title stays readable at thumbnail size.

Can I make more than one version?

Yes. Generate two pin designs for the same topic with different layouts so you can pick the one that draws the eye before you post.

Will the title stay sharp as a thumbnail?

Yes, if you prioritize legibility. Preview at thumbnail size, keep the text large and high contrast, and regenerate if any line looks cramped.

Can I use the pin commercially?

Yes. Pins you generate with Morphic are cleared for commercial use across your Pinterest account and marketing channels.
