Matching board covers make a Pinterest profile look organized and intentional, the way a well-kept shop window does. When someone lands on your profile, a tidy row of covers tells them what you pin about in one glance and makes them more likely to follow or open a board.
Instead of designing each cover by hand, type every board name on its own line and pick one layout, font and color set. The tool builds the whole set at once, previews it as a profile grid and downloads every cover in a single ZIP. Colors can alternate across the set so each board is easy to tell apart while the style stays consistent.
How to set a board cover on Pinterest
Pinterest builds a board cover from a pin saved on that board, so the cover image must be a pin first. Upload the cover as a new pin and save it to the matching board. Then open the board settings with Edit board, change the cover and pick the cover pin.
Pinterest crops covers differently on the web, in the app and in board previews, which is why these covers are square with the name centered. Keep the cover pin linked to your site or a relevant post so it is useful when someone taps it.
Designing covers that work as a set
Use one font and one layout across every board, and let color do the separating. Short names of one to three words read best at the small size covers appear on a phone. Avoid clutter: the board name is the whole job of a cover.
Still naming your boards? The board name generator suggests keyword-rich names, and the board organizer helps you plan which boards to keep. For a single cover with your own photo, use the board cover maker.
