Resize Image for Pinterest Pin
Pinterest is a visual discovery platform where image size directly impacts performance. Pins that match Pinterest's recommended dimensions get more impressions and saves. This guide walks you through resizing images for Pinterest's optimal display.
Why Pin Size Matters
Pinterest's feed is a masonry layout where taller pins take up more visual space. A 2:3 ratio pin (1000×1500) fills the optimal amount of space without being truncated. Pins that are too wide get shrunk, and pins that are too short get less attention.
Standard Pin (1000 x 1500)
The recommended standard pin size is 1000×1500 pixels with a 2:3 aspect ratio. This is the best balance between visibility and display quality across all Pinterest clients.
Long-Form Pins for Infographics
For infographic pins, use 1000×2100 or taller. Very tall pins may show a 'See more' overlay but still perform well for educational content. Include your brand logo and website URL.
Optimizing Pin Images
Use vertical images, include text overlays, choose vibrant colors. Pins with warm colors and clear subjects get more engagement. Include a call-to-action like 'Click to learn more' or 'Save for later.'
How to Resize for Pinterest
Use the Pinterest pin preset in the resize tool. Upload your image, and the tool will resize it to the optimal 1000×1500 dimensions. For custom aspect ratios, use the crop tool with a 2:3 ratio.
