Design Tips
- →Unlike standard Pins, Idea Pins don't support outbound links — focus on valuable content (tutorials, how-tos, recipes) that encourages saves and follows.
- →Design each frame to work as a standalone image in case it's saved individually — don't rely on sequence context that only works when all frames are viewed together.
- →Use the same 9:16 format as Instagram Stories and Reels — you can often repurpose the same assets with minor adjustments.
