Pinterest Scheduler
You can schedule Pins for free inside Pinterest with a business account: one Pin at a time, up to 30 days ahead. To schedule image and carousel Pins from the same screen you use for Instagram, TikTok and the rest, use Socialync.
How to Schedule a Pin on Pinterest Itself
Per Pinterest's scheduling help page (checked October 2026), scheduling needs a business account. On the web:
- Log in to your business account and click Create, then Create Pin.
- Select an image or video. Each image you select makes its own Pin.
- Fill in the Pin details: title, description, board and link.
- Choose Publish at a later date, pick the day and time, and finish the Pin.
The limits to plan around:
| Pinterest scheduler | Limit |
|---|---|
| Account type | Business account |
| How far ahead | Up to 30 days |
| Pins waiting in the queue | Up to 10 at a time |
| Editing after you schedule | Date, title, board, description and link. The image or video is locked. |
| Other platforms | Pinterest only |
That is plenty if Pinterest is the only place you post. The moment you also publish to Instagram or Facebook, you are creating the same post twice.
Scheduling Pins With Socialync
Pinterest has been public in Socialync since September 2026. It handles images today. Here is what works and what does not.
Image and Carousel Pins
Publish a single image Pin or a carousel Pin with up to 5 images. Post now or schedule for later. Carousel images need the same aspect ratio, and Socialync checks that before it calls Pinterest.
Title and Description From One Caption
The first line of your caption becomes the Pin title, cut to 100 characters. The full caption becomes the description, cut to 800. Both limits match Pinterest's Pin specs.
Board, Link and Alt Text
The Pinterest tab in the composer has a board picker, an optional destination link and optional alt text. Skip the picker and the Pin goes to the default board you chose at connect.
One Upload, Every Platform
Pinterest sits next to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads and Bluesky. The carousel you built for Instagram goes out as a carousel Pin in the same run. See Instagram scheduling or the cross-posting guide.
What Socialync does not do on Pinterest yet
- Video Pins. Only images are supported. Use Pinterest's own scheduler for video.
- MCP. Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can draft and schedule posts to 8 platforms through the Socialync MCP server, and Pinterest is not one of them yet.
- Bulk scheduling. Every Pin needs a board, so Pinterest is left out of bulk uploads.
