Turn Your Blog Content into Pinterest Graphics in Canva

📍 Because your posts deserve more than just sitting on your website.

You’ve poured hours into writing a blog post — researching, editing, and adding your own creative magic — but here’s the thing: if it’s just living on your site without promotion, it’s not reaching its full potential.

That’s where Pinterest comes in. This platform isn’t just for recipe inspiration and DIY hacks — it’s a search engine that can keep sending readers to your blog months (even years!) after you post.

And the best part? You can turn your existing blog content into scroll-stopping Pinterest graphics in Canva in just a few steps.

✏️ Step 1: Pick the Blog Posts You Want to Promote

Start with:

• Evergreen posts that will stay relevant year-round

• Seasonal posts to pin ahead of the season

• High-value posts you want to drive traffic to

You don’t have to make graphics for every post right away — focus on your most popular or profitable ones first.

🎨 Step 2: Choose the Right Size in Canva

Pinterest loves vertical images. The recommended size is 1000 x 1500 px for static pins, and the same ratio works beautifully for video pins too.

In Canva, you can:

• Search “Pinterest Pin” in templates

• Start with a blank design and build from scratch

🖼 Step 3: Make Your Graphics Pop

Your Pinterest graphic should stop people mid-scroll. Try:

• Big, bold titles → Use a headline from your blog post or reword it to be click-worthy

• High-quality images → Either your own photos or stock images that match your topic

• Consistent branding → Fonts, colors, and style that make your pins instantly recognizable

Pro tip: Create 2–3 different designs for the same blog post. Pinterest loves variety.

🖋 Step 4: Add a Call to Action

You want your graphic to tell people exactly what they’ll get if they click. Examples:

• “Get the Full Tutorial”

• “Read the Step-by-Step Guide”

• “Grab Your Free Template”

This little nudge can make a huge difference in clicks.

📌 Step 5: Export and Upload to Pinterest

Download your pins as PNGs for crisp quality. When uploading to Pinterest:

• Add a keyword-rich title and description

• Link directly to your blog post

• Save to a relevant board

And remember — Pinterest is a long game. A pin you post today might take a few weeks to pick up traction, but once it does, it can send traffic for months.
