Pinterest Image Tips
- ✓Use 1000×1500 (2:3) for standard pins — it is the sweet spot for feed visibility
- ✓Avoid going taller than 1:2.1 ratio — Pinterest may cut off overly tall images
- ✓Add a text overlay to the upper-middle of the pin — avoid the bottom 100px where the source domain is displayed
- ✓Save pins in JPEG for photos (max 20MB) or PNG for graphics with transparency
- ✓Idea Pins (9:16) work differently from standard pins — they are more like Stories
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Pinterest pin size?+
The recommended Pinterest pin size is 1000×1500 pixels (2:3 ratio). This portrait format takes up more vertical space in the feed, increasing visibility and click-through rate.
Can I use a square image on Pinterest?+
Yes, 1:1 square pins (e.g., 1000×1000) are supported. However, portrait (2:3) pins typically perform better as they occupy more screen real estate in the masonry-style feed.
What is a Pinterest Idea Pin?+
Idea Pins (formerly Story Pins) are multi-page, full-screen vertical content (9:16, 1080×1920). They do not link to external websites and are designed for native content within Pinterest.
