How to Schedule Pinterest Posts in 2025 (3 Easy Methods + 5 Quick Tips)

Pinterest might not always make the loudest noise in the social media world, but don’t underestimate it. The platform is quietly becoming a powerhouse for creators and brands — and the numbers back it up.

Buffer’s analysis of millions of channel connections from 2022 to 2024 shows Pinterest engagement jumped from 3.08% to 5.26% and overall usage increased by 113%. That’s serious growth you don’t want to ignore.

The great thing about Pinterest is that it works more like a visual search engine than a traditional social platform. People aren’t just there to scroll; they’re actively searching for new ideas, products, and inspiration. One well-placed pin can keep driving traffic for months, giving you long-term reach without you having to be online 24/7.

Staying consistent on Pinterest doesn’t have to take over your entire calendar. With a Pinterest business account and smart scheduling — either in-app or with a tool like Buffer — you can keep your content flowing, pin more strategically, save time, and make the platform work for you. 

In this guide, I’ll walk you through two simple ways to schedule your Pinterest posts so you can pin for the win.
