What Pinterest says about Pin images

A 2:3 shape, or 1000×1500 pixels, and warns that taller shapes may be cut off in feeds.

Pinterest’s creative best practices recommend a 2:3 aspect ratio, or 1000×1500 pixels, and note that larger aspect ratios may get cut off in people’s feeds. They also say most people use Pinterest on mobile and advise aiming for a vertical 2:3 canvas, repurposing square images by adding borders or using vertical imagery. Pinterest’s separate Pin specs page lists the file types BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WEBP and a maximum of 20 MB for the web.

Why this page does not draw a safe zone

Pinterest publishes safe-zone margins for text, but without saying which frame size they are measured against.

The Pin specs page lists safe zones of 270 pixels at the top, 65 on the left, 195 on the right and 790 at the bottom. It does not state which frame size those apply to. Rather than guess, this page shows the crop only. Keep important detail away from the edges and check the Pin in Pinterest’s own preview.

Choosing what the crop keeps

A 2:3 portrait frame keeps a narrow strip of a landscape photo, so the choice of strip matters.

A 3:2 landscape photo keeps about 44% of its width, a 4:3 photo 50%, a square 67%, and a 4:5 portrait about 83%. Those are arithmetic from the shapes. If the picture does not have a subject that fits a tall strip, a better route is to design for the tall shape from the start, or to add space around the picture instead of cropping it with Canvas Resize.

Format and file size

JPEG for photographs, PNG for flat graphics; both are well within Pinterest’s 20 MB web limit at this size.

A source in an unusual format, such as HEIC, is written as JPEG unless you choose PNG. A 1000×1500 image is small enough that the 20 MB limit is not a practical concern, but a smaller source is enlarged to fill the frame and will look softer, and the page warns you when that happens.

FAQ

What size does Pinterest recommend?

Pinterest’s creative best practices recommend a 2:3 aspect ratio, or 1000×1500 pixels, and say larger aspect ratios may get cut off in people’s feeds. It also says most people use Pinterest on mobile, so a vertical 2:3 is the thing to aim for.

What file types and sizes can I upload?

Pinterest’s Pin specs list BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WEBP, with a maximum of 20 MB on the web.

Can this add a title or text to the Pin?

No. It only resizes and crops. Add text separately, for example with Add Text to Image.

Why is a landscape photo cropped so heavily?

A 2:3 frame is tall and narrow. A 3:2 landscape photo keeps only about 44% of its width. The page shows the exact figure for your picture and lets you choose which part stays.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The resize happens in your browser.
