Pinterest Pin Size: 1000×1500 (2:3) — Free Resizer

Pinterest is a vertical, visual feed, and pins that fill the column get the most saves. Size your image to the 2:3 ratio and it stops the scroll instead of getting cropped.

The best Pinterest pin size

  • Resolution: 1000 × 1500 pixels
  • Aspect ratio: 2:3 (vertical)
  • Max file size: 20 MB (smaller loads faster)

Taller pins risk being truncated in the feed; square and horizontal pins take up less space. 1000×1500 is the reliable sweet spot.

How to resize to 1000×1500

  1. Open the image resizer.
  2. Drop in your image (or a whole batch).
  3. Set the dimensions to 1000 × 1500.
  4. Download — everything runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.

If your image isn't 2:3, crop it to a 2:3 frame first so resizing doesn't distort it.

Tips

  • Design vertical from the start. Stacked text and imagery suit the tall format.
  • Keep it light. Compress with the image compressor so pins load fast on mobile.
  • Batch it. Resize a set of pins at once to keep a consistent look across your boards.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Pinterest pin size?
1000 × 1500 pixels, a 2:3 aspect ratio. This vertical format fills the most space in the feed without being truncated. Taller pins can get cut off, and square or horizontal pins take up less room and get fewer saves.
Can I use 1080×1920 for a pin?
Yes — a 9:16 pin works for video and 'idea pins,' but for standard image pins the 2:3 ratio (1000×1500) is the recommended sweet spot that won't be cropped in the grid.
What file size does Pinterest allow?
Up to 20 MB for images, but smaller is better for load speed. A 1000×1500 JPG is typically well under 1 MB.
