Why 1000 × 1500 is the size to use

The 2:3 ratio fills the feed

Pinterest shows pins in columns, so a taller pin takes up more of the screen than a square one. The 2:3 shape is tall enough to stand out without getting cut off, which is why Pinterest recommends it for standard pins. 1000 × 1500 pixels keeps text sharp on high-resolution phone screens.

Long pins can be cut off

Very tall “infographic” pins were popular for years, but anything taller than a 1:2.1 ratio can be truncated in the feed. If you need more room, use a carousel pin with several 2:3 images instead.

Design for a small screen

Most people browse Pinterest on their phones, where a pin is only a few centimetres wide. Use a large, bold title, keep it to a few words per line and highlight your main keyword in a contrasting colour. Leave a little space around the edges so nothing important sits right at the border.

Make it in one step

The ReadyPins pin maker exports every pin at exactly 1000 × 1500 pixels, with the title sized automatically so it always fits. Browse the free pin templates to start from a ready-made design.

Pin size questions

The short answers.

What is the best Pinterest pin size?

1000 × 1500 pixels. It uses the 2:3 aspect ratio Pinterest recommends for standard pins and looks sharp on every screen.

What happens if my pin is too tall?

Pins taller than a 1:2.1 ratio (for example 1000 × 2100) can be cut off in the feed, so the bottom of your design may be hidden until someone opens the pin.

Can I use square pins?

Yes. Square 1000 × 1000 pins work, but they take up less space in the feed than 2:3 pins, so they usually get noticed less.

What size should Pinterest video pins be?

Vertical 9:16 (1080 × 1920) fills the most space on phones. Pinterest also accepts 2:3 and 1:1 videos.

How do I resize an image to 1000 × 1500?

Drop it into the free size checker on this page and use “Crop to 1000 × 1500”, or open it in the ReadyPins pin maker, which always exports at that size.
