How to use the Pinterest Character Counter

2

Check your pin title

The sidebar tracks your pin title against Pinterest's 100-character limit. Titles appear prominently in Pinterest search results and are critical for discoverability.

3

Count your hashtags

Pinterest allows up to 20 hashtags per pin. Our counter automatically detects every # and warns you when you approach the limit.

About the Pinterest Character Counter

Our free Pinterest Character Counter is built for creators, marketers, and e-commerce brands who understand that Pinterest is a search engine first — and every character in your pin description, title, and board description is a ranking signal. Pinterest pin descriptions support up to 500 characters, but here's what most creators miss: only around 50 characters are visible in the feed before the description is cut off. Our counter tracks both the full 500-character limit and the critical 50-character visible window separately, so you always know what searchers actually see.

Pin titles are Pinterest's most powerful SEO element — capped at 100 characters and displayed prominently in search results. Our counter tracks pin title length in real time alongside every other Pinterest field: bio (160 chars), username (30 chars), profile name (30 chars), board description (500 chars), and hashtags — with an automatic hashtag counter that warns you when you approach Pinterest's 20-hashtag limit. All fields update live as you type, in a single view.

Pinterest SEO works differently from Google SEO — keyword placement in the first 50 characters of your pin description directly influences how Pinterest's algorithm categorises and distributes your content. Use our counter to craft pin descriptions that front-load your primary keyword, write titles that rank in Pinterest search, and ensure every character in your profile and board descriptions is working toward discoverability. Paste your text above and optimise every field — no sign-up, no limit, completely free.
