Pinterest Username Checker
Check whether a Pinterest username is available, and whether the same name is free across the platforms a visual brand relies on. One search shows the whole picture.
Pinterest username rules
A Pinterest username is 3 to 30 characters and, unusually, accepts only letters and numbers, no spaces, periods, underscores, or other punctuation. That makes it stricter than most social platforms, so brand names with separators have to be condensed. Your username (the part in your profile URL) is distinct from your display name, which can be longer and more descriptive.
What to do if your Pinterest name is taken
If a Pinterest username is taken, because no separators are allowed you will need a run-together variant like "yourbrandshop" or "yourbrandhq". Confirm that condensed name also works for your domain and other handles, the search above checks 45+ platforms at once so your brand reads the same everywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What characters can a Pinterest username use?
Only letters and numbers, within 3-30 characters. Spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed.
Is the Pinterest username the same as the display name?
No. The username appears in your profile URL; the display name is a separate, more flexible field.
Can I change my Pinterest username?
Yes, you can edit it from your profile settings, subject to availability.
How do I keep my Pinterest name consistent elsewhere?
Check the condensed, letters-and-numbers version across other platforms using the tool above.
Why won't Pinterest accept periods or hyphens in my username?
Pinterest allows only letters and numbers in usernames, no spaces, periods, hyphens, or other punctuation, so multi-word brand names have to run together as a single string.
