How to Resize an Image for Pinterest
All Pinterest Image Sizes (2026)
Pinterest uses vertical images on a mobile-first platform where 87% of users browse on their phones. Using the correct dimensions ensures your pins display fully in the feed, avoid truncation, and get maximum distribution from the algorithm.
| Format | Size (px) | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Pin | 1000 × 1500 | 2:3 | Best engagement, algorithm-preferred |
| Square Pin | 1000 × 1000 | 1:1 | 40–50% less engagement than vertical |
| Long Pin (max full display) | 1000 × 2100 | 1:2.1 | Maximum before feed truncation |
| Infographic Pin | 1000 × 3000 | 1:3 | Truncated in feed, click to view full |
| Idea Pin (image) | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 | Full-screen, 2–20 pages |
| Idea Pin (video) | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 | 3–60 sec per page, 5 min total |
| Video Pin | 1000 × 1500 | 2:3 | Also supports 1080 × 1920 (9:16) |
| Carousel Pin | 1000 × 1500 | 2:3 or 1:1 | 2–5 cards, all same ratio |
| Collection Pin (hero) | 1000 × 1500 | 2:3 | 3–24 secondary images (1:1) |
| Board Cover | 1000 × 1000 | 1:1 | Cropped to ~3:2 for display |
| Profile Picture | 400 × 400 | 1:1 | Displayed as circle, min 165 × 165 |
| Profile Banner | 1200 × 600 | 2:1 | Cropped on mobile to 600 × 300 |
Why 2:3 Vertical Pins Get 67% More Engagement
Pinterest’s own documentation states that pins with aspect ratios other than 2:3 “may negatively impact performance.” Here’s why vertical pins dominate:
- Maximum screen real estate — On mobile (87% of Pinterest traffic), a 2:3 vertical pin fills significantly more of the screen than a square or landscape image, making it more likely to catch attention while scrolling.
- Algorithm preference — Pinterest’s Smart Feed algorithm gives full distribution to 2:3 pins. Square pins receive 40–50% less engagement. Horizontal/landscape images get significantly reduced distribution.
- No truncation — 2:3 pins display in full in the feed. Taller images (beyond 1:2.1) are truncated, and truncated pins face algorithm penalties — they need double the engagement to prove their value.
- Consistent grid appearance — Pinterest’s masonry layout is designed around vertical content. 2:3 pins create a clean, uniform appearance in search results and boards.
The recommended upload size is 1000 × 1500 px. The minimum width is 600 px — pins below this threshold receive substantially less distribution. Pinterest internally converts all images to standard 8-bit RGB JPEGs and applies a faint overlay (4% black in light mode, 10% white in dark mode).
Infographic Pin Best Practices
Infographic pins are popular for step-by-step guides, tutorials, and data visualizations. However, Pinterest’s feed truncation rules mean you need to plan carefully:
- Maximum full display: 1:2.1 — Pins taller than 1000 × 2100 px are truncated in the feed. Only the top portion is visible; users must click to see the rest.
- Truncation penalty — Truncated pins face algorithm penalties and need roughly double the engagement to compensate. The visible preview must be compelling enough to earn clicks.
- Upper third is critical — Place your headline, most important data point, or most eye-catching visual in the upper third of the image. This is what users see in the feed preview.
- Safe size: 1000 × 2100 px — If you want full feed display with no truncation, stay within 1:2.1. This gives you 40% more vertical space than a standard pin while still showing in full.
- Long infographics still work — Despite truncation, well-designed 1000 × 3000 px infographics can perform well if the visible portion hooks users into clicking. They’re especially effective for evergreen tutorial content that gets saved and shared.
Idea Pin Specifications
Idea Pins (formerly Story Pins) are Pinterest’s multi-page, swipeable content format designed for tutorials, recipes, DIY projects, and brand stories.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended size | 1080 × 1920 px (9:16) |
| Alternative size | 1000 × 1500 px (2:3) |
| Pages per pin | 2–20 pages |
| Image formats | JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, WebP |
| Image file size | Under 20 MB per page |
| Video per page | 3–60 seconds |
| Total video duration | Up to 5 minutes across all pages |
| Video aspect ratios | 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 |
| Interactive elements | Stickers, custom fonts, background music |
Idea Pins display full-screen on mobile at 9:16, making them the most immersive Pinterest format. The completion rate directly affects algorithm distribution — create content compelling enough that users swipe through all pages.
Rich Pin Types
Rich Pins use the same image dimensions as standard pins (1000 × 1500 px, 2:3 ratio) but automatically sync extra metadata from your website. There are three types:
- Article Rich Pin — Pulls headline, description, and author from your website’s Schema.org or Open Graph markup. Updates automatically when you modify your page.
- Product Rich Pin — Displays current pricing, availability, and product info. Requires product structured data and items must be in stock. Prices update automatically when inventory changes.
- Recipe Rich Pin — Shows title, serving size, cook time, ratings, dietary preferences, and ingredients. Supports Schema.org, Open Graph, or h-recipe markup. Ratings appear only on mobile.
To enable Rich Pins, add structured data in your page’s <head> section. Content sync can take up to 24 hours after adding markup. You can disable Rich Pins with <meta name="pinterest-rich-pin" content="false" />.
Supported Upload Formats
Upload any of these formats — resize for Pinterest and optionally convert to a different format in the same step:
| Category | Formats |
|---|---|
| Common | JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP |
| Apple / Mobile | HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, JFIF |
| Professional | TIFF, PSD, EXR, ICO |
| Camera RAW | ARW, CR2, CR3, NEF, DNG, ORF, RAF, RW2, PEF, SR2 |
Pinterest accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP for standard pins. If you upload a HEIC photo from your iPhone, our tool converts it to JPG or PNG while resizing — all in one step.
