Pinterest Image Size Guide for Maximum Engagement
Pinterest is a visual search engine where image quality and dimensions directly impact your content's discoverability and engagement. Using the wrong image size results in cropped pins, reduced distribution, and lower click-through rates. This guide covers every Pinterest image dimension and best practices for maximizing your reach.
Pinterest Image Sizes
Standard Pin (2:3): 1000×1500 px — The most effective pin format. Pinterest's algorithm favors this ratio. Long Pin: 1000×2100 px — Perfect for infographics, tutorials, and detailed content that performs well in search. Square Pin: 1000×1000 px — Good for product shots but takes up less feed space than vertical pins. Profile Photo: 165×165 px — Keep it simple and recognizable at small sizes.
Optimize for Pinterest SEO
After resizing, compress your images for faster loading. Consider converting to WebP for your website's Pinterest-linked landing pages.
Pinterest sizes built around the tall pin
You want pins that fill the feed and stay readable at thumbnail size.
Pinterest is a vertical medium. Its feed is a column layout, so a tall image occupies more space than a wide one and is simply seen by more people as they scroll. The recommended shape is two to three, which at the standard width means 1000 by 1500 pixels. Text overlays are normal and expected here in a way they are not on other platforms, because pins function as visual headlines for the page they link to.
When people use this tool
Standard pins
The 2:3 vertical pin is the format the feed is designed around.
Infographic pins
Taller pins carry step by step content, though very long images are truncated in the feed.
Product pins
Retail pins pair a clear product shot with a short text overlay.
Step-by-step
- 1 Upload your artwork. Design at 1000 pixels wide or more for a crisp result.
- 2 Apply the vertical frame. The image is fitted to the 2:3 pin dimensions with its proportions kept.
- 3 Add readable text. Large, high contrast lettering survives the thumbnail size the feed displays.
- 4 Download and pin. Upload the correctly proportioned file so it is not cropped in the feed.

Practical tips
- • Put the key message in the top third; that is what people see before scrolling past.
- • High contrast text remains legible when the pin is displayed small.
- • Consistent branding across pins helps people recognise your content in a busy feed.
- • Avoid extremely long pins; anything beyond 2:3 risks being cut off in the feed view.
More questions about this tool
What is the best pin size?
1000 by 1500 pixels. The 2:3 ratio is what the feed layout is designed around.
Can I pin a square image?
Yes, but it occupies less vertical space and typically attracts less attention.
Are text overlays a good idea?
On Pinterest, yes. Pins act as visual headlines, so a short clear title helps.
How long can a pin be?
Up to around 1000 by 2100. Beyond that the feed truncates the image.
