IndReelForge's Pinterest upload API supports every Pin format Pinterest offers. Whether you are creating standard image Pins, uploading Video Pins, or building multi-page Idea Pins, our API handles it all through a unified endpoint.
Standard Pins
Create image-based Pins with titles, descriptions, destination links, and board targeting. Standard Pins are the foundation of Pinterest marketing, driving traffic to your website through visually compelling imagery. Our API supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats.
Video Pins
Upload native video content as Pinterest Video Pins. Video Pins autoplay in the feed and drive significantly higher engagement than static images. Our Pinterest API handles video processing, thumbnail generation, and optimization automatically.
Idea Pins
Create multi-page Idea Pins with up to 20 pages of images, videos, and text overlays. Idea Pins are Pinterest's most engaging format, designed for storytelling and tutorials. Our API simplifies the complex creation process into a single request.
