HOW TO

5 tips for becoming a Pinterest pro

Bring your boards to the next level.

Pinterest is our go-to for all kinds of inspiration – interior design, fashion, recipes, beauty and so much more. Here are five features that can help you pin like a pro.


Seen something beautiful? Take a photo of it and Pinterest will pull up similar items for you.

Snap real-life inspiration

Get inspired by anything you point your camera at with Pinterest Lens. Tap the camera icon in the search bar to snap a photo of an enviable outfit, a drool-worthy brunch or anything else that catches your eye and Pinterest will help you discover similar items.


Turn your boards into widgets

Make a mini mood board by adding Pinterest widgets to your Home Screen. Get a glimpse of your favourite Pins or topics you’re interested in and launch your boards with a single tap.


Use the home feed tuner to tell the app what kind of recommendations you’re after.

Tailor to your tastes

Define and refine your interests using the home feed tuner. Help Pinterest keep up with your ever-evolving tastes by providing board, interest and even Pin-level feedback on what’s being recommended. You can find the tuner in your account settings.


Customise your search results by body type, skin tone and hair pattern.

Search by body type and more

Hunting for wedding make-up looks or OOTD inspiration? Pinterest now prompts you to select between several ranges of body types, skin tones and hair patterns. Select one of the many inclusive range options to see customised search results that better reflect how you see yourself.


Tap your favourite Pins to see similar items you can snap up in an instant.

Shop your boards

Discovering items you love is just the start of what you can do with Pinterest – your board is also the ultimate shopping cart. Hover over a Pin to view similar products, and tap it to see purchasable options.
