How Pinterest text formatting works
Search comes first
Pinterest is a search engine: people find Pins by typing plain words. Keep the keywords in plain letters and style only a short label.
Title 100, description 800
A Pin title holds 100 characters and a description 800 (500 in Pinterest's own editor). The counter here tracks the description.
Style the call to action
A bold "Save for later" or "Get the recipe" at the end of the description stands out without touching the keywords.
Example: “Get the recipe” = 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲: 14 characters in the counter here
