When you submit her pin on Pinterest it should give you a field to put in a url - or at least it always has for me!

It Let's me put in a url as if I'm adding an image from a website. However, I'd like to create my own pins in Canva and then put them on Pinterest.

It's all a learning curve. Some people's pins look really slick and professional on the. How do they achieve that.

Yeah I made a template, then added it. But it wouldn't let me put the url on Pinterest in either the title or description box, or anywhere else.

Whereas, it let me add from a website when I used a Firefox browser button feature.

Try downloading the app and then add the URL. I have never had an issue with this using the app :)

I personally have rich pins turned on, then I upload the pin to my blog post and pin from there :) x

thanks all. Got to the bottom of it. Needed to make my Pinterest account a business account - then on Wordpress - go to Yoast SEO plugin > social > Facebook > enable open graph meta data.

Onwards and upwards! ...now just need to crack Canva.

As an aside question, can I ask what image size do you guys make your feature images on Canva? and is it a uniform image size for ALL blog posts? or bespoke to each post?

Your theme should resize based on the device being used so unless you choose super dooper small it shouldn’t be an issue
