What is Adobe Express Pinterest Pin Maker?

Integrated into Adobe Express, this is a tool designed to help create engaging and visually appealing graphics, particularly for the social media platform Pinterest. With the Pinterest Pin Maker at your disposal, you can create pins for your Pinterest boards that are not only animated but also customized.

Whether your pins are for recipes, DIY tips, fashion, or infographics, you can start with any templates and make them your own with free fonts, filters, etc. There is no ceiling on the amount of creativity you can pour into it. So, feel free to go crazy.

With that quick introduction out of the way, let's take a look at its most salient features and how you can make the most of them.

Plenty of Templates To Choose From

One of the biggest advantages of using Adobe Express' Pinterest Pin Maker is its sizable library of pre-built templates. It does not matter what kind of pin you are looking to craft, you will find a template that suits your needs. And when one hears the word 'templates,' one may assume that these are just basic layouts.

Well, that is not quite the case here. The Pinterest Pin Maker features different styles - abstract, classic, vintage, elegant, modern, bohemian, bright, grunge, gothic, handmade, natural, pop art, professional, psychedelic, and more.

But wait, there's more! You can filter out templates by mood - dark, dramatic, dreamy, groovy, happy, mellow, mysterious, quirky, relaxing, sad, scary, and so on. You can also let this tool know whether you need multiple still pages, animated, or video templates. In its latest update, there is an option to select templates by region.

Of course, many of the templates within Pinterest Pin Maker are premium. But if you are just getting started or looking to test the waters, you will never run out of free templates.

Customization Galore

Whether you started out with a template or a blank canvas, there is a lot you can do to make that design look the way you want. Oh yes, first and foremost, the size of the canvas. Although you can resize it later, it is best to pick a size you want beforehand. A Pinterest feed is shown as a form of collage with pins of different sizes arranged next to each other. As feed columns are fixed, vertically formatting your designs definitely gives them an upper hand. The ideal aspect ratio is 2:3.

Next, you can pick a theme for your design or create your own. It is a color palette to create on-brand content. Leveraging the power of Brands within Adobe Express, you can create a new brand with a logo, graphics, color theme, and even fonts. Change the background color of your design to your liking or simply pick using your brand's color theme.

As for the other design elements, Pinterest Pin Maker lets you move, resize, rotate, replace, and even animate them. You can either choose from an extensive stock library of photos, videos, music, and graphics or upload your own. Just like any Adobe Express project, you can add shapes, icons, charts, and frames. Also, in the age of globalization, don't just stay confined to a particular region and its audience. With the new translate feature built into Pinterest Pin Maker, you can translate your design for a whole new demographic - with just one click.

Sharing Your Designs

After you have crafted your custom Pinterest pin, don't shy away from adding your own logo or watermark to it. It will impart credibility to you or your business as your pin is shared across the platform.

Once you are ready to put it out into the world, you can either download the file as a PNG, JPG, PDF, or MP4 and then post it on Pinterest or publish it directly with the Share feature. Want to schedule it? Feel free to do that from inside the Pinterest Pin Maker itself.

Well, we are glad to report that there is also a free plan that gives you access to thousands of templates and design elements, image editing and effects, animation, 25 generative AI credits a month, and 2 gigabytes of cloud storage.
