Pinterest photo sizes worth using
Pinterest rewards tall Pins. Export to a 2:3 frame (or another supported ratio) before you publish and the board has less reason to crop a face or letterbox the shot.
| Format | Size in pixels | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Standard pin | 1000 × 1500 | 2:3 |
| Square pin | 1000 × 1000 | 1:1 |
| Portrait pin | 1000 × 1250 | 4:5 |
| Story pin | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
| Profile picture | 280 × 280 | 1:1 |
| Profile cover | 800 × 450 | 16:9 |
What Pinterest does to a photo you have not resized
The home feed prefers a 2:3 Pin. A landscape camera shot in that slot loses the sides. A square in a tall board looks small. Profile photos are shown as a circle, so anything on the corners disappears.
Cropping here first means you choose the subject, and you send Pinterest a file that already matches the slot.
A quick way to pick a format
Use 1000 × 1500 (2:3) for a standard Pin. That is the size Pinterest recommends and the one that usually takes the most board space. Square 1000 × 1000 works for collection Pins. 1000 × 1250 (4:5) is a shorter portrait if 2:3 feels too tall. Story Pins use 1080 × 1920 (9:16).
Profile photos are 280 × 280. Profile covers are 800 × 450 (16:9). Keep faces and type away from the Pin’s outer rim (especially the top 270 pixels and the bottom of the frame), where Pinterest draws its own UI.
How to keep the download looking sharp
Work from the largest original you have. A 1000-pixel width is the sweet spot for Pins. JPG is the better default for photographs. PNG is the better default for type, logos, and screenshots.
Web uploads can be up to 20 MB. If your crop is smaller than the target, we flag that you are about to upscale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resize an image for Pinterest without an app?
Yes. Add a photo here, pick a size, set the crop, and download. The export matches the pixel size Pinterest shows, so you can pin it from your phone or desktop next.
What is the best image size for a Pin?
1000 × 1500 (2:3) is the size Pinterest recommends. Square 1000 × 1000 works for collection Pins. 4:5, 3:4, and 9:16 are also supported, but 2:3 usually fills more of the feed.
What size should a Pinterest profile picture be?
Export a 280 × 280 square. Pinterest shows it as a circle, so keep the face or logo in the centre.
What size is a Pinterest profile cover?
The cover is 800 × 450 (16:9). That is the minimum recommended size, so start from a larger original if you can.
Will this tool make my photo look worse?
A downsize from a clean original should look fine. What usually looks worse is pinning a wide landscape and letting Pinterest crop it into 2:3. If your crop is smaller than the target, we flag that you are about to upscale.
When should I export PNG instead of JPG?
JPG for photos (smaller, faster to upload). PNG when the image has type, flat colour, or a hard edge that JPG will smear.
Do I have to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no cap on downloads.
Does the photo get sent to a server?
No. Cropping and export happen in this browser tab. Close the page and the file is gone from here.
