"AI modified" on Pinterest means Pinterest believes a Pin was generated or edited with AI: its system found AI markers in the image's metadata, its own classifiers flagged the image, or the person who posted it said so (Pinterest Help Center, "Gen AI labels", checked November 9, 2026). From November 12, 2026, Pinterest's rules for its own AI tools become part of its Terms of Service. If you make AI Pins elsewhere, a 6-second vertical video Pin costs 60 credits on AIVeed, $0.30 on the $99 / 20,000-credit Business pack (Grok Imagine at 480p in 2:3; AIVeed API model catalog, checked November 9, 2026).
This guide is for creators who post AI images and video to Pinterest. It covers what the label means, why it appears, what actually changes on November 12, and how to make Pin-ready AI video on AIVeed in the sizes Pinterest recommends.
What does AI modified mean on Pinterest?
The "AI modified" label on Pinterest marks a Pin that Pinterest thinks was generated or modified using AI. Pinterest shows it at the bottom left of an image Pin when you open it in close-up (Pinterest Help Center, "Gen AI labels", checked November 9, 2026). On ads the label isn't on the Pin itself; it appears in the ad's details, where the disclosure says the Pin was modified with AI, contains an AI-generated person, or "may be modified with AI" when Pinterest's own systems flagged it. Pinterest began showing the label on April 30, 2025 (PPC Land, November 8, 2026).
Why does my Pinterest post say AI modified?
A Pinterest post says "AI modified" for one of three reasons, according to Pinterest's Help Center (checked November 9, 2026):
- Metadata. Pinterest reads the image's metadata following the IPTC Photo Metadata Standard; if it says the image was made or edited with AI, the label is added.
- Classifiers. Pinterest built classifiers that detect generative AI content "even if the content doesn't have obvious markers".
- Your own disclosure. The label also appears if the content owner indicated the Pin was generated or modified with AI.
Creators often aren't sure where the line sits. A member of Pinterest's Business Community asked on September 3, 2026: Can we clarify what is filtered out on Pinterest when it's considered AI modified?
(Melissa, Pinterest Business Community, September 3, 2026).
How to remove AI modified from Pinterest?
To remove an "AI modified" label you believe is wrong, appeal it through the link to Pinterest's support team on the "Gen AI labels" Help Center page (checked November 9, 2026). Pinterest doesn't publish how long a review takes. If the Pin really was made with AI, the label is accurate and stays. That isn't a ban: Pinterest's GenAI rules list misuse such as deception and impersonation, not AI-made art as such.
What changes on Pinterest on November 12, 2026?
On November 12, 2026, Pinterest's revised Terms of Service add its GenAI Acceptable Use Guidelines to the policies that carry contractual force, and the updated guidelines say abuse of Pinterest's generative AI can lead to loss of access to its AI features, suspension or termination of the account (PPC Land, November 8, 2026; Pinterest GenAI Acceptable Use Guidelines, checked November 9, 2026). Three points matter for creators:
- The rules cover Pinterest's own AI tools. The guidelines apply to "any Pinterest GenAI products, features, or capabilities" (Pinterest GenAI Acceptable Use Guidelines). They ban uses such as jailbreaking, scraping, impersonation, misinformation, spam and sexual content. They don't ban posting AI-made Pins created elsewhere, and PPC Land notes they say nothing about labelling AI-made creative.
- Your Pins train Pinterest's generative AI. The updated Privacy Policy extends training on Pins, "regardless of when Pins were posted", to Pinterest's generative AI models (PPC Land, November 8, 2026).
- Ads get synthetic-media rules. Pinterest's revised Advertising Guidelines, effective the same day, add bans on synthetic-media misrepresentation and impersonation (PPC Land, November 8, 2026).
Can you post AI-generated video on Pinterest?
Yes, you can post AI-generated video on Pinterest. Pinterest's GenAI guidelines govern its own AI tools, and its Community Guidelines still apply to every Pin, so AI video must not impersonate people, mislead or spam. Pinterest may also label it "AI modified". Creators are weighing what that label means for reach: one fashion creator asked in Pinterest's Business Community, Have you seen any difference in reach or impressions between AI-assisted and non-AI content?
(Ritika Biswas, Pinterest Business Community, June 1, 2026). Pinterest hasn't published reach figures for labelled Pins, so no one can answer that with data yet.
How do I make a video Pin with AI?
To make an AI video Pin, match Pinterest's specs and pick a model that renders that shape. Pinterest recommends video ads of 6 to 15 seconds, square or vertical (2:3, 4:5 or 9:16), and accepts videos from 4 seconds to 15 minutes (Pinterest product specs, checked November 9, 2026). The quickest way to get exactly 2:3 from AIVeed is the AIVeed MCP server or the AIVeed API, where the aspect ratio is a documented option (AIVeed API docs, checked November 9, 2026):
- Create an API key on the AIVeed developer dashboard, and add the AIVeed MCP server to Claude, Cursor or VS Code (one command in Claude Code:
claude mcp add aiveed -e AIVEED_API_KEY=aiv_sk_... -- npx -y aiveed-mcp). - Pick a model that renders 2:3: Grok Imagine, Seedance 2.0 or Kling 3.0. MiniMax H3 and Wan 3.0 render 9:16 and 3:4.
- Ask your assistant for the Pin in plain words, with the shape and length: "a 6-second Grok Imagine video in 2:3 of a cinnamon-orange autumn wreath on a blue front door, slow push-in". To animate your own product photo or artwork, give it the image as the starting frame.
- The assistant starts the job, waits for it and returns the hosted MP4 link. Download it and upload it to Pinterest as a video Pin.
| AIVeed model (2:3 or 9:16) | 6 s | 10 s | 15 s |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grok Imagine, 480p | 60 cr ($0.30) | 90 cr ($0.45) | 120 cr ($0.59) |
| Grok Imagine, 720p | 80 cr ($0.40) | 120 cr ($0.59) | 150 cr ($0.74) |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast, 480p | 150 cr ($0.74) | 200 cr ($0.99) | 300 cr ($1.49) |
| Seedance 2.0, 480p | 220 cr ($1.09) | 350 cr ($1.73) | 500 cr ($2.48) |
| Kling 3.0 Standard, 720p | 225 cr ($1.11) | 300 cr ($1.49) | 450 cr ($2.23) |
| MiniMax H3, 768p (9:16) | 80 cr ($0.40) | 160 cr ($0.79) | 240 cr ($1.19) |
Credits: AIVeed API model catalog, checked November 9, 2026. Dollars: credits × $99 ÷ 20,000 on the Business pack, rounded to the cent. Grok Imagine, Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0 render 2:3; MiniMax H3 renders 9:16 or 3:4.
For a week of Pins, ask for several at once, for example "five 6-second Grok Imagine clips in 2:3 for my autumn wreath board", and the AIVeed MCP server, released November 7, 2026, starts each job on your AIVeed credits and returns the links (AIVeed MCP docs, checked November 9, 2026). The full tool list is in our guide to the most realistic AI video generators, and model-by-model advice for vertical video is in our Shorts and TikTok guide.
How much does an AI video Pin cost?
An AI video Pin on AIVeed costs from 60 credits for 6 seconds: $0.30 on the $99 / 20,000-credit Business pack or $0.50 on the $5 / 600-credit Pilot pack (Grok Imagine at 480p; AIVeed API model catalog and AIVeed pricing, checked November 9, 2026). The 200 free credits every new AIVeed account gets cover three 6-second Grok Imagine Pins at 480p. Credits never expire, so a pack bought for one seasonal board can be used for the next (AIVeed pricing, checked November 9, 2026). Our Grok Imagine guide walks through image-to-video step by step.
Methodology and verification
Verified on November 9, 2026. The label's meaning, placement, detection methods and appeal route come from Pinterest's "Gen AI labels" Help Center page. The scope of the GenAI Acceptable Use Guidelines comes from Pinterest's policy page, which announces the update effective November 12, 2026. The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Advertising Guidelines changes, and the April 30, 2025 label launch date, are as reported by PPC Land on November 8, 2026; we read Pinterest's current guidelines but did not compare every preview document ourselves. Video specs come from Pinterest's product specs page. Community quotes were loaded from Pinterest's Business Community and are quoted exactly.
AIVeed credits and aspect ratios come from the public AIVeed API model catalog and API docs; pack prices from AIVeed pricing. Dollar figures are credits × pack price ÷ pack credits, rounded once to the cent: 60 credits is $0.297 ($0.30) on Business and $0.50 on Pilot; 300 credits is $1.485 ($1.49) on Business.
