Five Pin Layouts, One Click Apart
Every layout uses the same photos and title, so you can switch between them in the editor and keep whichever stops the scroll. Here’s what each one is for.
| Layout | Photos | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Collage | 2–6 photos | Roundup and listicle posts, Gift guides, Recipe collections |
| Text Overlay | 1 photo | Travel destination posts, Single-recipe pins, Quote and inspiration pins |
| Top Text | 1–3 photos | How-to and tutorial posts, Tips and mistakes lists, Recipe titles |
| Bottom Panel | 1–3 photos | Interior and decor inspiration, Fashion and outfit posts, Photography showcases |
| Side-by-Side | 2 photos | Before and after makeovers, Room and furniture transformations, Product comparisons |
Collage
The collage layout splits the pin in two. Photos fill a grid above the title and another grid below it, while a solid band across the middle carries your headline. Because the band is a flat color, the title stays readable no matter how busy the pictures are, and the grid lets one pin show several steps, rooms, or products at once.

Text Overlay
The text overlay layout uses a single photo that runs edge to edge. A dark gradient rises from the bottom, and your title sits on top of it across the lower half. The photo does the emotional work while the gradient guarantees the words can be read, even when the picture underneath is bright, detailed, or full of small objects.

Top Text
The top text layout places a solid title band across the top of the pin and fills the rest with photography. People scan from the top down, so the headline is the first thing they meet. The photo underneath then confirms the promise, which suits posts where the title is the main reason to click and the picture is supporting proof. Readers get the idea first and the detail second.

Bottom Panel
The bottom panel layout gives the photo the top of the pin and sets the title in a solid panel beneath it. Nothing sits on top of the image, which also means the whole frame can be used, so the picture stays clean and the headline gets a quiet, high-contrast space of its own. The result looks closer to a magazine page than to a banner. That calm look is the main reason to pick it.

Side-by-Side
The side-by-side layout places two photos next to each other across the top of the pin, with a title panel running beneath them. Putting the images at equal size makes the comparison obvious in a single glance, which is what you want when the difference between the two is the whole point of the post and nothing else should distract from it. Equal tiles make that comparison fair, and the panel keeps the explanation short and clear.
