The best Pinterest pin size is 1000 × 1500 pixels, a 2:3 aspect ratio. This vertical format fills the most space in the feed and earns up to 60% more saves than square or horizontal images, which is why nearly every successful pin uses it.
Pinterest pin dimensions at a glance
- Standard pin: 1000 × 1500 px (2:3) — recommended for almost everything.
- Square pin: 1000 × 1000 px (1:1) — works, but takes less feed space.
- Long pin: 1000 × 2100 px (about 1:2.1) — the tallest safe ratio; pins taller than this get cropped in the feed.
- Video / full-screen pin: 1080 × 1920 px (9:16) for vertical video.
File format and size
Pinterest accepts JPG, PNG, and WEBP images up to 20 MB (larger for video). Export at the exact recommended dimensions and keep files reasonably sized so they stay sharp without heavy compression.
A note on pin formats
Pinterest merged Idea Pins into a single unified Pin format, so you no longer create a separate "Idea Pin." Every pin can carry a link, video, and text — which means your 2:3 vertical design works across the board.
Design matters as much as size
The right dimensions get you in the door; the design keeps people. Use bold, readable text overlay, high-contrast images, and your brand colors, and keep the most important text in the top two-thirds so it survives any cropping. Our pin design tips and pin title generator help you finish the pin.
