Pinterest Pin Size
The Pinterest standard Pin size is 1000 × 1500 px with a 2:3 aspect ratio. Pinterest is a vertical-scroll platform, and taller pins take up more screen space — the 2:3 ratio is the sweet spot before Pinterest starts compressing tall pins. Pins above 1:2.1 ratio are truncated in the feed.

Design Tips
- →The 2:3 ratio (1000 × 1500 px) is Pinterest's recommended size — it maximises feed real estate without being truncated. Pins taller than 1:2.1 (e.g., 1000 × 2100 px) are cropped in the feed.
- →Text on Pins should be large and scannable — Pinterest users scroll fast. Use 28 pt minimum at 1000 px wide and ensure text contrasts strongly against the background.
- →Pins with a clear, single subject perform better than cluttered compositions. If using a product image, remove the background so the product stands cleanly on a white or light-coloured canvas.
- →Include your URL or logo subtly in the lower third — it reinforces brand without dominating the Pin. Avoid placing it in the bottom 100 px where description overlays appear.

What is the ideal Pinterest pin size?+
The recommended Pinterest pin size is 1000 × 1500 px (2:3 aspect ratio). This is Pinterest's optimal size — it shows large in the feed without being truncated. Pins taller than a 1:2.1 ratio are clipped in the feed display.
What ratio is best for Pinterest?+
The 2:3 ratio (1000 × 1500 px) is the standard and best-performing Pinterest ratio. Vertical pins (taller than wide) consistently outperform square or horizontal pins because they occupy more vertical feed space. Avoid going beyond 1:2.1 or the pin will be cropped.
