Steps

How to size images for Pinterest

Vertical pins perform best. Size to standard aspect ratios so your content looks native in the feed.

  1. 1
    Upload your image. Product photos, graphics, or text-heavy designs — Pinterest accepts a wide range.
  2. 2
    Pick a Pinterest preset from the editor (standard pin, long pin, square, board cover) or set custom dimensions. Vertical ratios work best.
  3. 3
    Download and pin to Pinterest. Add a description with keywords to help your pin surface in search.

Pinterest image dimensions that get saved

Why vertical pins win

Pinterest's feed is a vertical scrolling grid. Tall images (2:3 ratio at 1000×1500 px) take up more screen space and stop the scroll. Square pins at 1000×1000 px work but get less visibility in the algorithm.

Long pins (up to 1000×2100 px or 1:2.1 ratio) are ideal for recipes, DIY tutorials, infographics, and before/after transformations. Pinterest may truncate pins taller than a 1:2.5 ratio, so stay within 1000×2500 px max.

Board covers and profile branding

Board covers display at 340×340 px as a circle (on mobile) or rounded square (on desktop). Upload at 600×600 px for sharp rendering on retina screens. Use consistent branding or themed covers to make your profile feel curated.

Your profile photo displays at 165×165 px as a circle. This appears next to every pin attribution. Upload at 280×280 px minimum. For business accounts, use your logo. For personal accounts, a clear headshot works best.

Rich Pins and product images

Rich Pins pull metadata from your website — recipe ingredients, product prices, article titles. The image still needs to be well-sized. Product pins perform best at 1000×1500 px with the product centered and lifestyle context.

Idea Pins (similar to Stories) use a 9:16 ratio at 1080×1920 px. Each Idea Pin can have up to 20 pages. Design each page as a vertical canvas with consistent branding across the sequence.

Why it matters

Pinterest image prep for more saves

  • Algorithm advantage

    Vertical pins get prioritized in the home feed and search results. The right ratio directly affects your reach.

  • Rich Pin readiness

    Correct image sizes mean your website metadata renders properly when someone saves your pin.

  • Consistent boards

    Matching cover sizes and pin dimensions across boards makes your profile look professional and curated.

  • Better on mobile

    85% of Pinners use mobile. Vertical pins at 2:3 fill the phone screen and are easier to read than landscape images.

Pinterest image size questions

Practical answers about Pinterest pin dimensions, ratios, and best practices.

1000×1500 px (2:3 ratio) is the recommended standard. This vertical format fills more screen space in the Pinterest feed and consistently outperforms square or landscape images for saves and clicks.

Pinterest recommends pins no taller than a 1:2.5 ratio (roughly 1000×2500 px). Taller pins may be cut off in the feed with a 'See more' prompt. Stay under 1000×2100 px (1:2.1) for the best full-height display.

Yes, square pins at 1000×1000 px work, but they perform worse than vertical pins. Pinterest's algorithm favors vertical content that fills the feed. Use squares only when the image content demands it.

340×340 px displayed. Upload at 600×600 px for retina crispness. Board covers display as a circle on mobile and a rounded square on desktop.

165×165 px displayed as a circle. Upload at 280×280 px for sharp rendering. Business accounts: use your logo. Personal: use a clear, centered headshot.

1080×1920 px (9:16 ratio). Idea Pins are Pinterest's version of Stories. Each can have up to 20 pages, all at the same vertical dimensions. Add text overlays in a design tool before uploading.

Yes, Pinterest applies compression on upload. Start with a sharp image at the correct dimensions. JPG at 85-95 quality provides a good balance between crispness and file size.

JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. JPG is best for photos. PNG is good for graphics with text. Pinterest recommends files under 10 MB, but smaller files upload faster.

Yes. Drop a folder of pin images into the editor, set the same dimensions (e.g., 1000×1500 px), and download them all at once. Perfect for preparing a batch of seasonal or product pins.

Text overlays help communicate the pin's value at a glance — recipe names, product features, blog post titles. Add text in a design tool, then resize the final graphic here to 1000×1500 px.

Rich Pins automatically pull metadata (recipe info, product prices, article details) from your website. The image still needs to be sized correctly — use 1000×1500 px for best display across the Pinterest platform.

Yes. The page and editor work in mobile browsers. Processing runs on your device, so limit to a few images at a time on older phones.

No. Downloads are clean. We show ads on the site, not on your images.

Same as organic pins: 2:3 (1000×1500 px). Pinterest recommends ads match the organic pin format for the most native-looking placement. Square and landscape ads are accepted but get less engagement.
