Pinterest Scheduler: Schedule Pins in Bulk
Schedule static pins and video pins (up to 2 GB) through Pinterest's official API. Manage multiple accounts, post to multiple boards, and cross-post from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, all from one dashboard.
A Pinterest scheduler is a tool that publishes pins and video pins automatically at a set time. Multi Upload Tool is a free Pinterest scheduling tool that bulk-schedules static pins and video pins (up to 2 GB) through Pinterest's official API. Manage multiple accounts and boards from one dashboard, with no 10-pin native cap. Pinterest's own scheduler queues up to 10 pins, 30 days ahead.

How to Schedule Pinterest Posts in 4 Steps
Connect Your Pinterest Account
Navigate to Accounts and click 'Connect Pinterest'. Authorize through Pinterest's secure OAuth flow. We request only the permissions needed to schedule and publish pins. We never access your private messages or billing.
Upload Your Pin Content
Upload images (JPEG, PNG, WebP; 1000×1500 px recommended) or video files (MP4/MOV up to 2 GB). Write your pin title, description, and destination link. Assign a board and add alt text for accessibility and SEO.
Choose Your Publishing Time
Set a date and time, or use suggested optimal slots. Pinterest's algorithm rewards consistent posting cadence. Maintaining it manually is tedious; we handle it automatically.
Publish Automatically
At the scheduled time, Multi Upload Tool publishes your pin through Pinterest's official API. Your pin appears on the target board and surfaces in your followers' home feeds and relevant search results.

|---|---|---|
| Pins queued at once | Up to 10 pins | Unlimited bulk |
| Schedule horizon | Up to 30 days ahead | Weeks or months ahead |
| Bulk upload | One pin at a time | Dozens of pins per batch |
| Account types | Business accounts only | Personal, business & client accounts |
| Multiple accounts | One account, manual switching | 2-150 accounts, one dashboard |
| Video pins | Supported | Supported, up to 2 GB |
| API / developer access | No public scheduling API | Official Pinterest API + REST API |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Multi Upload Tool support Pinterest video pins?
Yes. We support video pins up to 2 GB and 60 seconds in length. Upload MP4 or MOV files through our dashboard or API. Video pins play natively in the Pinterest feed and typically receive higher engagement than static image pins.
How many Pinterest accounts can I manage?
Account limits depend on your plan: Free (2 accounts), Basic (8), Pro (20), Business (60), Agency (150). All accounts connect via Pinterest's official OAuth: no password sharing required and each account can be revoked independently.
Can I schedule pins to multiple boards at once?
Yes. When creating a pin, select the destination board. To post the same content to multiple boards, duplicate the pin and assign a different board each time. Our bulk upload makes this straightforward. You can create and schedule all variants in one session.
What image sizes and formats does Pinterest support?
Pinterest accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP for static pins. For video pins, MP4 and MOV are supported. The optimal dimension for static pins is 1000×1500 px (2:3 ratio) for best feed placement. Our dashboard shows format guidance before you schedule each pin.
Is this built on Pinterest's official API?
Yes. We integrate with Pinterest's official Content Publishing API (v5). Your pins are published through the same API infrastructure Pinterest uses internally, meaning full native quality, full compliance with Pinterest's Terms of Service, and no risk to your account.
Is there a free Pinterest scheduler?
Yes. Multi Upload Tool has a free plan that lets you connect 2 accounts (across all platforms) and schedule pins through Pinterest's official API at no cost. If you need to manage more accounts, paid plans scale from 8 up to 150 accounts. There's no credit card required to start on the free plan.
Does Pinterest have a native scheduler, and can you schedule pins in advance?
Pinterest has a built-in scheduler, but it's limited: business accounts can schedule one Pin at a time, up to 10 Pins queued, up to 30 days in advance, on desktop and mobile. Multi Upload Tool removes those limits: schedule weeks or months of pins in advance, upload in bulk, and manage multiple accounts and boards from one dashboard via the official Pinterest API.
How many pins can you schedule on Pinterest?
Pinterest's native scheduler lets business accounts queue up to 10 pins, scheduled up to 30 days in advance. Multi Upload Tool removes that cap: bulk-schedule dozens of static pins and video pins across multiple boards and accounts, weeks or months ahead, through the official Pinterest API.
What is the best Pinterest scheduler?
It depends on your needs: Pinterest's native scheduler suits casual posting, while a dedicated Pinterest scheduling tool like Multi Upload Tool handles bulk scheduling and multiple accounts. Multi Upload Tool schedules pins and video pins through Pinterest's official API, on a free plan or from $9.99/month.
