Pro Tips

Write clearer Pinterest alt text.

  • Describe the image for accessibility first, not as an ad.
  • Include important readable text from the Pin when it matters.
  • Use Pin notes only to clarify visible context, not to invent details.
  • Avoid hashtags, emoji, calls to action, discounts, and keyword lists.
  • Name products, brands, materials, or places only when supported.
  • Do not guess identity, demographics, emotions, health, or relationships.
  • Keep wording concise enough to scan through a screen reader.
  • Match the alt text to this exact image, not the whole campaign.

Frequently asked questions

What should Pinterest image alt text include?

It should describe the meaningful visual content of the Pin. Mention the subject, setting, key objects, visible text, and context that a screen reader user would need to understand the image.

Should Pinterest alt text include keywords?

Use natural words that accurately describe the image, but do not turn alt text into a keyword list. Accessibility and accuracy come first.

Should I upload an image or paste context?

Use both when you can. The image gives visible evidence, while context helps with things that may not be obvious, such as the product name, board topic, campaign angle, or text that is hard to read.

Can I use calls to action in alt text?

Usually no. Save calls to action, hashtags, discounts, and promotional language for captions or descriptions. Alt text should explain the image.

Can I copy the generated alt text directly into Pinterest?

Review it first. Remove unsupported guesses, check visible text, confirm product or brand names, and choose the option that best matches the exact Pin image.
