All of us find the taller content easier to read than the wider ones as it easy to scroll vertically than horizontally. Same goes with Pinterest people find taller images as in those with more content easier and interesting and that is why these taller posts tend to get more repins than the shorter ones. Hence it is always better that you experiment with tall, inforgraphics-style part of the pack to get more engagement.

Pinterest allows you to present textual content such as captions or descriptions with your visual content. The idea is that it is not only good for people out there looking for the information but also the search engines as they provide the context for what is there in the image. Although people use Pinterest to browse pictures still short descriptions or captions help increase engagement. Besides, the optimal description length on Pinterest is between 100 to 200 characters.

Try experimenting with the image by presenting something people aspire to be, do or generate.
