Best time to pin calculator
Pinterest does not publish a best time to pin, so there is no universal answer. This tool builds a weekly starting schedule for your audience’s time zone, and tells you exactly what it is based on.
Your starting week A starting point, not data
That is a lot of pins a day. Pinterest’s own guides say quality and relevance matter more than frequency, and suggest about one pin a week as a general rule.
For seasonal content, start early. Pinterest’s guide says to launch ahead of the peak, for example in April for a June peak.
Nothing you choose here is sent or saved. The hours are an assumption described below, not Pinterest data and not data about your account.
Bloomtack posts at natural times and is designed to learn yours. It spreads approved pins through the day at varied minutes, and is built to learn which hours work for each Pinterest account from that account’s own results.
Join the waitlistWhat this schedule is, and what it is not
Many websites claim the best times to pin. Pinterest itself does not publish any: its help center and business guides give no best days or hours. So this tool does not pretend to have data. It builds a starting schedule from one plain assumption and says so.
The assumption: people browse Pinterest in their free time. So evenings in your audience’s time zone come first, then a lunch break, the commute and the morning, and weekends move toward the daytime. That is reasoning, not a measurement, and your audience may differ.
How to use it
- Choose the time zone where most of your readers are.
- Choose how many pins a day you plan to make, and whether your content is evergreen or seasonal.
- Copy the week into your scheduler or calendar, in your own time zone if it differs.
- Run it for a few weeks, then look at your own Pinterest Analytics and move the times that bring clicks.
Tips
- Your own results beat any general schedule. Check which pins get saves and outbound clicks, and note when they were published.
- Vary the minutes. Pinning at 8:10 pm one day and 8:35 pm the next looks like a person, and spreads pins out.
- Spread pins through the day instead of posting several at once. A steady pace is easier to keep up and easier to read in your analytics.
- Schedule seasonal pins early. Pinterest’s 2026 guide says people start planning months ahead and gives April for a June peak as an example.
Best time to pin questions
What is the best time to post on Pinterest?
There is no universal best time, and Pinterest does not publish one. The right hours depend on where your readers are and when they browse, so start from a sensible schedule and adjust it with your own analytics.
How does this tool build the schedule?
It uses one assumption: people browse in their free time. So it puts pins in your audience’s evenings first, then lunch, the commute and the morning, with weekends shifted toward the daytime. It is a starting point, not data.
How many pins a day should I post?
Pinterest says quality and relevance matter more than frequency, and suggests about one pin a week as a general guideline. A steady pace you can keep up is better than a burst you cannot.
When should I pin seasonal content?
Ahead of the season. Pinterest’s 2026 marketing moments guide says that if a moment peaks in June, you should launch in April, because people have already started planning months ahead.
Whose time zone should I use?
Your audience’s. If most of your readers are in New York, choose Eastern time even if you live elsewhere. The tool also shows each time in your own zone, so you know when to schedule it.
Can Bloomtack find my best times for me?
Bloomtack schedules approved pins across your audience’s day at varied, natural times, and is designed to learn from each Pinterest account’s own results which hours work best. A general tool cannot know that. Your account’s data can.
