Go to your Pinterest profile, click the pencil icon to edit, and update your username in the profile settings. Your username must be unique and between 3-30 characters. According to Pinterest's help center, changes may take a few minutes to appear across the platform.
A good Pinterest username is memorable, easy to spell, relevant to your niche, and under 30 characters. It should include keywords that help users find you in Pinterest search and ideally work across other social platforms too. Avoid numbers and special characters as they're harder to remember.
For business accounts, consistency across platforms helps with brand recognition. If your business name is available on Pinterest, use it. If not, add a relevant keyword (like "HQ", "official", or your niche) to create a unique but recognizable variation. Personal accounts have more flexibility to be creative.
Cross-platform consistency is ideal for brand recognition. Before finalizing your Pinterest name, check availability on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms you plan to use. Tools like Namechk can help you verify availability across multiple platforms at once.
Pinterest search considers your username when showing results. If someone searches for "home decor ideas" and your username includes "home decor," you may appear in search results. However, don't sacrifice memorability for keywords—a balance of both works best for long-term growth.
