Pinterest Traffic Carousel Specs (discontinued)

Visual guidance

• Lighting: Proper exposure and lighting should be ensured.
• Colors: Color saturation and tonality should be balanced.
• Ambience: Product images against a plain white or one-colour background must be avoided. Instead, the product is to be showcased within its intended ambiance.
• Storytelling: It is recommended to use visual storytelling. This can be achieved by including images of the product in use, production process shots and visuals that convey the mission or idea behind the product. The product can be showcased through different types of shots (e.g., close and far shots).
• Unnecessary objects and people: Unnecessary objects are to be avoided. Faces of people must not be included without their consent.
