Can you schedule Pins on Pinterest itself?
Yes, with a business account, on the web or in the app. Pinterest’s Help Center says you can schedule a Pin up to 30 days in advance and have up to 10 Pins scheduled for the future, creating one Pin at a time. Scheduled Pins appear on your profile above your published Pins.

How do you schedule Pinterest Pins further ahead or in bulk?
With SkedCast. Connect your Pinterest account once, then schedule Pins to any board up to 12 months ahead, with no 10-Pin limit on the queue. Plan a month in a spreadsheet and import it with bulk scheduling: up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency, each row checked against Pinterest’s limits first. Scheduled Pins stay editable in SkedCast until they publish. See the Pinterest scheduler for formats and timing.
What does a scheduled Pin need?
Pinterest has no first comment, polls or text-only Pins, and a published Pin’s image cannot be swapped. Write titles that match what people search for; the Pinterest character counter checks the lengths.
| Part | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Board | Required; a section is optional |
| Media | One image, a carousel of 2 to 5 images (JPEG or PNG, up to 20 MB), or one video of 4 seconds to 15 minutes; 2:3 suits the feed |
| Title | Optional, up to 100 characters |
| Description | Up to 800 characters |
| Link | Optional destination URL |
| Alt text | Optional, describing the image for screen readers |
When should you use each?
Pinterest’s scheduler is enough for a handful of Pins a month on one account. Once you plan a board calendar, run seasonal content weeks ahead, or manage several accounts, SkedCast removes the 30-day window and 10-Pin queue and puts Pinterest on the same calendar as every other network.
