GRATITUDE

[PAZP]

I want to offer a very big THANK YOU to Zazzle for providing an increasing number of insitu options. This makes it much less labor intensive and more creative when I’m designing my pins. 

I look forward to seeing these options on more products. 

You are appreciated.

Hey @PAZP,

I'll be sure to pass this along to our team! 😁

I agree. I've seen more and more truly beautiful in-situ mockups recently. Whoever is involved, you're doing a great job. Kudos.

I like the new insitus but one problem I see with using them to build pins is that they are always too small for the recommended pinterest image sizes.   I always have to either resize them or add them to a frame which unfortunately doesn't make pinning any easier or more time efficient for me personally.   I think it matters on Pinterest that you try to follow the image size guidelines because since I started doing that I have seen my reach improve.

You are correct @shellifitz that the insitu image isn't the correct/recommended size for Pinterest so using the Z share icon isn't the recommended size (square). I know that other social media sites easily take square images but that's not helpful with Pinterest.

I was wondering if Z could figure a way to offer the 1000px x 1500px recommended size instead of square. With all else happening behind the scenes I'm sure that's not a current priority or even considered fixing.

Since I make the majority of my pins at the 1000px x 1500px they take time to make BUT I don't have to look for mock ups because I can use some or all of the insitus here. I generally manipulate the insitu so it fits into the entire theme of the pin.
