Resize Photo for Pinterest

Pinterest Image Size Guide

Pinterest recommends specific aspect ratios and dimensions for different types of pins. Standard pins should have a 2:3 aspect ratio at 1000x1500 pixels. Square pins are 1000x1000 pixels at 1:1 ratio. Long pins can use a 1:2.1 ratio up to 1000x2100 pixels. Video thumbnails should be 2:3 or 9:16 format. Using pins at the recommended dimensions ensures they display correctly in the Pinterest feed and are not cut off by automatic cropping.

Why Vertical Pins Perform Better on Pinterest

Vertical pins with a 2:3 aspect ratio consistently perform better on Pinterest than square or horizontal pins. The Pinterest feed is designed to showcase vertical content, and taller pins occupy more screen space, making them more visible and more likely to be clicked. The 2:3 ratio at 1000x1500 pixels is the sweet spot that Pinterest recommends for maximum reach and engagement. Our tool makes it easy to resize any image to this high-performing format.

Pinterest Profile and Board Images

In addition to pin images, Pinterest has specific requirements for profile photos and board covers. Profile photos are displayed as circles and should be at least 165x165 pixels for sharp display. Board cover images are displayed in a 1:1 square ratio. Using correctly sized profile and board images creates a polished and professional Pinterest profile that makes a strong impression on visitors. Our tool handles both pin images and profile element sizing.

Prepare Images for Rich Pins

Pinterest Rich Pins pull metadata from your website to create enhanced pin displays with additional information. For Rich Pins to display correctly, images on your website should be at the correct Pinterest-recommended dimensions. Product images, recipe images, and article featured images that are sized correctly will create better-looking Rich Pins when shared to Pinterest. Our tool helps you prepare website images at Pinterest-optimized dimensions.

Pinterest Image Optimization for SEO

Pinterest is a visual search engine where properly optimized images appear in search results. Image quality and dimensions contribute to how pins are ranked and displayed in Pinterest search. Using high-quality images at the recommended dimensions helps ensure that your pins compete effectively in Pinterest search results.
