What is the Pinterest Pin description character limit?

A Pin description allows up to 500 characters. Only the first 50 to 60 characters reliably show before the description is truncated in the feed, so front-load your keywords and most important text within that visible window.

What is the Pinterest Pin title limit?

Pin titles allow up to 100 characters, but only the first 40 or so display in the grid feed before being cut off. Keep titles concise and put the key search term at the very start so it survives truncation.

How long can a Pinterest bio be?

Your profile bio allows up to 160 characters. Use it to state who you help and what you Pin, and include a primary keyword early since Pinterest treats bio text as a search-ranking signal for your profile.

What is the board name character limit?

Board names can be up to 100 characters. Keep them short and keyword-led for SEO, because board titles are indexed and help your Pins surface in search. Overly long names get truncated in the board grid.

Does Pinterest count emoji as one character?

Most simple emoji count as one or two characters, but many use multiple code units, so an emoji-heavy caption can hit the limit sooner than the visible character count suggests. This counter measures actual length so you never get caught out.

Pinterest silently truncates or rejects text that runs past its per-field limits, and each field — title, description, bio, board name, comment — has a different cap. This live counter loads the correct limit for the field you pick and warns you with colour before you cross it.

How it works

Each field has a fixed maximum character count. The tool measures your text length and compares it to that field’s cap, with a warning band before the limit:

title       ≤ 100   (≈40 visible)
description ≤ 500   (≈50–60 visible)
board name  ≤ 100
bio         ≤ 160
comment     ≤ 500

Length is measured in actual characters, including spaces and the multiple units that some emoji consume, so the count matches what Pinterest will actually store.

Tips and notes

Because Pinterest only shows the first few dozen characters of titles and descriptions in the feed, front-load your keyword and hook into that visible window even though you have room to write more. Keep board names short and keyword-led for search, and treat your 160-character bio as prime SEO real estate. The amber warning fires at 90 percent of the limit so you have time to trim before anything is cut.
