Tips

📍 Pin places, pictures, and URLs.

In addition to pinning pictures and URLs, Pinterest allows users to pin places they're interested in. By pinning a site, you'll get tips to visit and how to contact the owners immediately. If with an Android device, it can remind users when they're nearby the spot, by which users will never forget to visit the pin.

👻 Try Pin Search to get what you want effortlessly.

When you spot something interesting, your first move would normally be Googling it if there's no link attached. Well, instead of switching to Google, you can tap the "Search" button shown on the top of the picture, which automatically puts your image into Google image search and finds out where that thing came from.

😜 Try uploading images in portraits.

Do you know that Facebook users prefer landscape images while Instagram prefers square ones? It happens on Pinterest as well. Users here are fond of portraits. That means you can try aspect ratios of 2:3 or 1:3.5. Though images with a 1:3.5 aspect ratio are too tall to be fully expanded automatically, they contain more info, which is exactly what viewers need.

😎 Use the "Secret Boards" feature to hide your pin.

What if you find something awesome but doesn't want others to see it? Well, Pinterest allows users to hide their pins from others using the "Secret Boards" feature. No one's able to get your pin added to the boards unless you give them access.
