Pinterest Image Resizer FAQ
What is the best size for a Pinterest pin?
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 ratio, such as 1000 × 1500 pixels. Pins in this shape display fully in the feed and on mobile.
How long can a pin be?
Pins taller than a 1:2.1 ratio (for example 1000 × 2100) are cut off in the feed, so viewers have to open them to see the whole image.
Do square pins work?
Yes, but they take less space in the feed than 2:3 pins, so they tend to get less attention. They suit products and simple graphics.
Should I add text to pins?
Short, large text overlays explaining what the pin is about often help on Pinterest, which works like a visual search engine. Use the Image Text Overlay tool after resizing.
What about video pins?
Video and idea pins use a 9:16 shape. The 9:16 size here creates a matching cover image or still pin.
Why tall pins work on Pinterest
Pinterest arranges pins in columns of equal width, so a pin’s height determines how much space it takes in the feed. Taller pins are more noticeable, which is why the 2:3 shape became the standard. Pins that are much taller than 1:2.1 are truncated in the feed, so the extra height is wasted.
Pinterest behaves more like a search engine than a social network: people look for ideas, recipes and products, and pins can bring visitors for months or years. Clear, high-quality images with a recognisable subject and a short text overlay describing the content tend to perform best, because they answer the searcher’s question at a glance.
Landscape photos are common on blogs and shops but fit poorly into tall pins. Cropping keeps a strong subject large, while fitting the full image on a blurred or coloured background leaves room above and below for a headline. Creating both versions and seeing which earns more saves is a quick, practical test.
Every pin links to a web page. Make sure the page the pin points to shows the same content as the image, and include descriptive text in the pin description, since Pinterest uses it, along with the image, to decide where the pin appears.
