Convert and crop your images for standard pins, square pins, long infographics, and idea/video pins with optimal Pinterest dimensions.
Use this Pinterest Pin Size Converter to resize and crop images for your next Pin. Choose the right dimensions for standard vertical Pins, square graphics, long infographics, or vertical video-style content. Adjust your image, select your preferred output settings, and download a resized image ready for your Pinterest content.
What Is the Best Pinterest Pin Size?
The recommended size for a standard Pinterest image creative is 1000 × 1500 pixels, with a 2:3 aspect ratio. This vertical format is a reliable starting point for creating Pins that display well in the Pinterest feed.
Pinterest warns that images taller than a 2:3 aspect ratio may be cut off in people’s feeds. Choosing appropriate dimensions before uploading can help you keep your design readable and your most important content visible.
For placement-specific requirements, check Pinterest’s image Pin specifications and official creative specifications.
Pinterest Pin Size and Dimensions Guide
Different designs may need different image dimensions. Use this guide to select the appropriate preset in the converter.
| Pin type | Image dimensions | Aspect ratio | Best use |
| Standard Pin | 1000 × 1500 px | 2:3 | Everyday Pinterest images, product photography, recipes, and blog graphics |
| Square Pin | 1000 × 1000 px | 1:1 | Square designs, product images, and simple visual graphics |
| Long infographic | 1000 × 2100 px | Approximately 10:21 | Tall tutorials, step-by-step graphics, and detailed infographics |

Tips for Creating Better Pinterest Images
Choosing the correct Pinterest image size is only one part of creating effective Pins. Keep these design tips in mind when preparing your graphics.
Start With the Right Aspect Ratio
For a typical image Pin, start with a 1000 × 1500 pixel canvas. Designing at the intended dimensions helps you plan the layout instead of trying to fix a crop at the end.
Keep Text Easy to Read
Use clear headlines, readable fonts, and sufficient contrast between text and the background. Avoid squeezing too much information into one image, especially when people may first see your Pin on a mobile device.
Make the Main Subject Easy to See
Give the main image, product, recipe, or idea enough space. Keep important visual details away from the edges, where cropping or the surrounding interface could make them harder to see.
Be Careful With Long Infographics
Tall infographic graphics can be useful for tutorials and detailed guides, but they may not display fully in the Pinterest feed. Put the most important information near the top and avoid relying on content at the very bottom to communicate the main message.
Choose the Right Output Format
JPEG is a practical choice for photographs and image-heavy designs. PNG is often useful for graphics containing text, sharp edges, or transparency. Choose the format that best preserves your image while keeping the file manageable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a Pinterest Pin be?
For a standard image creative, 1000 × 1500 pixels with a 2:3 aspect ratio is the recommended starting point. Other dimensions may suit square graphics, infographics, or vertical video content.
What is the best aspect ratio for Pinterest Pins?
A 2:3 aspect ratio is recommended for standard image creatives. At 1000 × 1500 pixels, the image has a vertical layout that works well for many typical Pin designs.
Can I resize an image for Pinterest without cropping it?
Yes. Use a fit-style resize option when available to preserve the entire image, then adjust the background if empty space appears around it. A crop-to-fill approach may be better when you want the image to cover the entire canvas, but it can remove parts of the original image.
Can I use square images on Pinterest?
Yes. Square images, such as 1000 × 1000 pixels, can be useful for square graphics and product images. However, the 2:3 ratio is the recommended starting point for standard image creatives.
Will Pinterest crop a long Pin?
Pinterest warns that images taller than a 2:3 aspect ratio may be cut off in the feed. If you create a long infographic, keep the main headline and essential visual information near the top and make sure the design remains understandable when only part of the image is visible.
Which image dimensions should I use for vertical Pinterest videos?
A 1080 × 1920 pixel canvas uses a 9:16 aspect ratio and is a common choice for full-screen vertical video content. Always check the current specifications for the particular Pin or advertising placement you plan to use.
