Pinterest Image Sizes
Pinterest's own guidance is a 2:3 ratio at 1000 × 1500 pixels. Square Pins and taller 9:16 Pins are also supported.
| Format | Size (px) | Ratio | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Pin | 1000 × 1500 | 2:3 | Pinterest's recommended shape. Tall Pins stand out in the grid. |
| Square Pin | 1000 × 1000 | 1:1 | Good for products and simple graphics. |
| Tall Pin | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 | The tallest shape Pinterest offers. The grid may show a shorter preview. |
| Profile cover | 1600 × 900 | 16:9 | Pinterest recommends a 16:9 image for a profile cover. |

Photos Made Into Pins
Created with the tool on this page. Labels show the export size.
A landscape photo as a 2:3 Pin
Standard Pin · Show whole photo
A wide photo cropped to 2:3 would lose both sides of the lake. Kept whole, it sits in the middle of the Pin, and the space above and below is a natural place for a title if you add one in a design app.
A portrait photo cropped to 2:3
Standard Pin · Crop to fill
This waterfall photo is already 2:3, so it fills the Pin exactly with nothing trimmed. Many phone photos are 3:4 and lose only a little from the sides.
Picking a Pin Shape
2:3 for almost everything
It is Pinterest's recommended shape and fills a column in the grid without being cut short. Recipes, outfits, room ideas and infographics all fit it well.
Square for products
A 1:1 Pin works for simple product shots and logos, though it takes less space in the grid than a 2:3 one.
9:16 for very tall designs
Step-by-step guides and long lists can use 9:16. The grid may show a shorter preview, so put the most important part at the top.
Profile cover: 16:9
Pinterest recommends a 16:9 image for the cover at the top of your profile.

Tips for Better Pins
- Stick to 2:3 unless you have a reason not to. It is what Pinterest recommends.
- Put the key part of a tall Pin near the top, where the grid preview always shows it.
- A solid color background in your brand color makes a series of Pins look consistent.
- Save graphics with text as PNG so the letters stay crisp.
- Start from an image at least 1000 pixels wide so the Pin is not enlarged.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Pinterest Pin size?
1000 × 1500 pixels, a 2:3 ratio. That is the size Pinterest recommends for standard Pins.
Can I make a Pin from a landscape photo?

Do square Pins work on Pinterest?
Yes. 1000 × 1000 is supported. It takes less room in the grid than a 2:3 Pin, but suits products and logos.

Pinterest recommends a 16:9 image. The tool exports 1600 × 900.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
