How to use the Checklist Pin Maker

  1. 1

    Write the title and items

    Give the list a clear title such as "Moving Day Checklist", then type one item per line. Keep items short, ideally under eight words, so they stay readable on a phone.

  2. 2

    Choose the look

    Pick a color style, a title font and a checkbox style. Numbered boxes work for steps in order, empty boxes for lists people tick off. Add your website in the footer.

  3. 3

    Download and pin

    Click Download PNG to save a 1000 x 1500 image. Upload it to Pinterest and link it to the post or printable that has the full list.

Checklists are some of the most saved pins on Pinterest because people keep them for later: packing lists, cleaning routines, moving day steps, launch tasks. A checklist pin shows the whole list up front, so the reader knows exactly what they get before they click.

This maker lays out a title and up to 10 items on a card, sizes the text so every line fits, and draws real checkboxes, circles or numbers. Start a line with x to show it ticked. Everything is drawn in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

How to write a checklist people save

Put the situation in the title, not just the topic. "First Apartment Checklist" or "Carry-On Packing List for 3 Days" tells people who it is for and when they need it. Those are also the phrases people type into Pinterest search.

Order items the way they happen, and cut anything obvious. Seven to ten items is enough to look complete without shrinking the text. If your full list is longer, show the most useful part on the pin and put the rest in a printable on your site.

Checklist pins vs printable checklists

A checklist pin is a preview designed for the feed: big type, few items, strong contrast. A printable is the full page people download and print. Many creators pin the preview and link it to a page that offers the printable in exchange for an email or simply as a free download.

For multi-step guides with explanations, an infographic pin fits better. For daily or monthly routines, try the habit tracker maker.

Checklist Pin Maker FAQ

How many items can a checklist pin have?

This maker fits up to 10 items on a standard 1000 x 1500 pin. Fewer items mean bigger text, so 6 to 8 items is the sweet spot for reading on a phone.

Can I show some items as already checked?

Yes. Start the line with x and a space, like "x Plan meals". The box is filled with a tick and the text is crossed out, which is useful for before and after or progress pins.

Can I print the checklist pin?

You can print the PNG, but it is sized for screens. For a page made to print on letter or A4 paper, use the free printable maker and choose the checklist page type.

What size is the checklist pin?

The download is 1000 x 1500 pixels, a 2:3 ratio, which is the shape Pinterest recommends for standard pins.

Is the checklist pin maker free to use for commercial pins?

Yes. The pins you make are yours, with no watermark and no sign-up. The fonts are open source and free for commercial use.
