The minimum age to create a Pinterest account is 13. Pinterest’s age requirement means a person generally must be at least 13 years old to open an account or use the service’s features, although local rules can impose additional requirements.
The age threshold is easy to confuse with the rules for older teens. Pinterest has added safety and privacy settings for younger users: personal accounts for ages 13–15 have stronger protections, and users aged 16–17 may have restrictions or privacy settings that differ from adults.
A business account is a separate matter. Pinterest’s teen-safety guidance says users must be at least 16 to create a business account, so “13” is the minimum for a general Pinterest account, not every account type or feature.
The requirement also reflects the difference between an account’s minimum eligibility and legal consent rules. Pinterest’s terms note that users must be above the minimum age of consent in their country where applicable, so regional requirements may affect how the service is used.
