Pincodes are special codes that you can create to share your Pinterest profile in the real world. When someone sees your Pincode™, they'll use Pinterest Lens to scan it. You can set up a Pincode™ to send people to your profile or any of your boards.

Pincodes™ that link to your profile or boards can be created on your desktop or in the Pinterest app. Once you’ve created your Pincode™, save and share it so people can find you and your ideas on Pinterest.

    Share a Pincode™

    You can share your Pincode™ wherever you like. When displaying your Pincode™, the circular part should be a minimum of 1.5 inches in diameter to be scannable. If you're printing the Pincode™ on a physical object, print the Pincode™ on a flat surface so the Pincode™ will be legible.

    Make sure you own the rights to the image for your Pincode™, as with any other Pin you create on Pinterest.
