How Pinovia works, from photo to posted pin

Making a good pin is really three jobs: choosing pictures that show the idea, writing a title someone can read while scrolling, and exporting at a size Pinterest displays well. Pinovia puts those three jobs on one page.

Step 1 — Get pictures into the maker

You have three routes, and you can mix them. Copy a picture from a page you own and press Ctrl+V anywhere on the maker page. Drag image files in from a folder. Or tap the upload area and pick files from your device. Pictures land in the slots in the order they arrive.

Need to swap one out? Tap its slot to select it, then paste or drop the replacement. Only that slot changes. Common formats such as JPG, PNG and WebP work. A quick note: only use pictures you own or have permission to publish — the tool does not check rights for you.

Step 2 — Write the title the way you want it broken

Type the title and press Enter where you want a new line. Those breaks are preserved in every layout and in the final file. Titles are shown in bold capitals and they shrink automatically when a line is long, so nothing runs off the edge.

Two small touches help a title pull its weight. If a line starts with a number — common for roundups — that number is picked out in your accent colour on its own. And in the highlight box you can name the search phrase that matters most, so those words stand out on every line where they appear.

Step 3 — Pick the layout that fits the post

Roundups usually want the four-picture Collage. A single striking image suits Text Overlay or Top Text. A calmer, editorial post suits Bottom Panel, and comparisons suit Side-by-Side. Switching layouts keeps your title, pictures and colours, so comparing options takes seconds. The Layouts page walks through each one.

Step 4 — Style it until it reads clearly

• Outline: a dark edge around the title letters, adjustable from subtle to heavy, or switched off for a clean look.
• Size and spacing: scale the title between 60% and 150% of its fitted size, and loosen or tighten the gap between lines.
• Colours: the band behind the title and the accent used for highlights are separate controls, each with quick swatches plus a custom picker.
• Photo dim: darken bright pictures a little so the wording on top stays readable.
• Branding: type your site name and it is printed near the foot of the pin. Leave it empty and no name appears.
• Presets: one tap applies a matched set of font, outline and colours — a useful starting point, not a lock-in.

Step 5 — Export and publish

Press Download PNG and you get a file at exactly 1000 × 1500 pixels. Upload that file to Pinterest, add the pin title and description — the SEO helper on the homepage can draft both from your keyword — and link it to the page the pin is about.

Handy habits

• Keep titles short enough to read at phone size.
• Lead roundups with the number, and highlight the phrase people would search for.
• In a collage, use pictures that belong together — different angles of one idea beat unrelated shots.
• Make a second version of an important pin in a different layout and see which earns more clicks.
• Use the same site name every time, so returning readers start to recognise your pins.
