Frequently asked questions
What is the best photo size for Pinterest?
A vertical 2:3 Pin of 1000×1500 px is the standard size used by this tool. Vertical images take up more space in the feed than square or horizontal ones.
What is the Pinterest Pin aspect ratio?
2:3. Any image with that proportion (for example 1000×1500 or 600×900 px) keeps the same shape, so you can start from a larger photo and crop it to 2:3.
What size should a Pinterest profile picture be?
This tool exports a 280×280 px square. Pinterest displays profile pictures in a circle, so keep the main subject in the center.
Can I make a Pin from a horizontal photo?
Yes. Upload the photo, choose Standard Pin, and drag the crop area over the part you want to keep. Horizontal photos lose their sides when cropped to a tall 2:3 shape, so pick the area carefully.
Does Pinterest crop very tall Pins?
Yes, the feed can truncate Pins that are too long. 1000×1500 px is the sweet spot between visibility and proportion.
Should I use JPG or PNG?
JPG is fine for photographs; use PNG if your Pin includes text with transparency or sharp edges.
