Resize an Image for Pinterest
Vertical pins win on Pinterest. Get the 2:3 ratio and the right pixels so your pin fills the feed.
The ideal Pinterest pin is 1000×1500px, a 2:3 vertical ratio that fills the feed and gets the most visibility. Crop your image to 2:3 first, then resize to 1000×1500. Taller pins can be cut off, so stick to the 2:3 ratio. Our Crop and Resize tools do it in your browser.
| Standard pin | 1000 × 1500 px (2:3) |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 2:3 (avoid taller. It gets cropped) |
| Board cover | 600 × 600 px (square) |

Compress and upload
Lightly compress so it loads fast. Keep it sharp for the tall format.
- Vertical 2:3 pins take up more screen space and typically get more saves than square or landscape.
- Avoid ratios taller than 2:3. The extra height gets cropped in the feed.
- Put any text overlay in the top two-thirds, where it's visible before a user taps in.
Frequently asked questions
Problems we solve
