How to resize an image for Pinterest

- 2
Standard Pin (2:3) is preselected. Switch to Square or Full-screen if your idea suits it better.
- 3
Position the image so text overlays and products sit well inside the frame.
- 4
Download, then create a Pin on Pinterest and upload the file.
Why 2:3 works best
Pinterest’s feed is a grid of fixed-width columns, so taller Pins take up more space, but only up to a point: Pinterest warns that Pins taller than 2:3 might get cut off in people’s feeds. At 1000 × 1500 your whole image stays visible while still standing out next to square content.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best image size for Pinterest?
1000 × 1500 pixels, a 2:3 ratio. It’s Pinterest’s own recommendation and displays without cropping in the home feed.
Can I make Pins larger than 1000 × 1500?
Yes. Use Custom size with the ratio locked, for example 1500 × 2250. Pinterest shows Pins at a fixed column width, so 1000 px wide is enough for most screens.
What happens to very long Pins?
Pinterest says Pins taller than 2:3 might get cut off in feeds. People then have to open the Pin to see the rest, so the bottom of a long infographic can go unseen.
Which file types does Pinterest accept?
PNG or JPEG, up to 20 MB when uploading on desktop or 32 MB in the app. JPG keeps photos small; PNG suits graphics with sharp text.
