Creating Pinterest board covers aren’t as hard as you might think. I didn’t know how to do it either when I started blogging. I actually taught myself. I could not find a good tutorial. I found a tutorial that said to use custom dimensions in Canva. I used the dimensions suggested. The board cover I made didn’t look right. The letters were off center and got cut off.
I realized that I had to figure it out myself. I didn’t want to pay someone to make them for me. I didn’t want to sign up to an email list to get a tutorial. I figured out how to do it one day in Canva. Once I figured it out my board covers came out nice.
It’s really simple to do. I am going to show you a simple hack to create Pinterest board covers. That way you can do it yourself. No hiring or sign-ups required.
Step 1
Step 2
must use Instagram post-size-dimensions. This is the secret to creating board covers. I discovered that Instagram post-size-dimensions work the best for Pinterest board covers.
The reason being is that Pinterest cover sizes are a lot smaller than a normal pin. So if you use the same dimensions you would for a regular pin it won’t work. Anything bigger than an Instagram post size will not work.
Make sure to save, and download your board cover. I always save mine as PNG because the image quality is better. If you save it as JPEG it will come out blurry.
Step 3
Once you have filled out all the info and selected the Pinterest board this cover is for click save. Now it should appear in the board you selected as a pin.
Step 4
Conclusion
Once you click save changes the end result should look similar to the one I made for my board.
