What Are Pinterest Video Pins?

Pinterest video pins are just like any other pin on Pinterest but are videos instead of the more common image pin.

Video pins were first introduced back in 2020 as an update to fill the need of Pinterest users for more engaging content on the Pinterest platform. The video pin has since then flourished as most if not all creators have embraced the use of the video pin as a main type of content. 

Pinterest users can post videos on boards as video pins. Video pins should be in certain formats and have maximum file sizes and lengths. Also, not all aspect ratios will work.

Here are the specific specs of a Pinterest video pin:

  • File type – must be in .mp4, .mov, or .m4v
  • File size – maximum of 2 GB
  • Video pin length – 4 seconds minimum, maximum of 15 minutes
  • Aspect ratios –
    • 1.91: to 1:2,
    • 1:1 for square
    • 4:5, 9:16, and 2:3 for vertical
    • 9:16 is most recommended by Pinterest

Pinterest users can save these video pins to boards they create, just like an ordinary image pin. They will just have to save them in an already existing board they have or save them in a new Pinterest board for video pins.
