Pinterest Video Length Tips

Keep video pins between 6 and 15 seconds

Pinterest reports that video pins between 6 and 15 seconds get the best performance. Short, looping videos that showcase a product or tutorial step work particularly well.

Maximum video length is 15 minutes

Pinterest allows video pins up to 15 minutes long. However, most Pinterest users are browsing for quick inspiration, so shorter content almost always outperforms longer uploads.

Use 2:3 or 9:16 vertical format

Pinterest's grid layout favors tall content. Upload video pins at 1000 x 1500px (2:3) or 1080 x 1920px (9:16) to take up maximum space in the feed.

Design a strong cover frame

Video pins display a static cover image in the grid before playing. Choose a visually clear, bright cover frame that makes users want to tap and watch.

Stay under 2GB file size

Pinterest supports video files up to 2GB. Use MP4 or MOV format with H.264 encoding. For faster uploading and processing, aim to keep files under 500MB.
