Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Pinterest pin size?
1000x1500 pixels (2:3 aspect ratio) is Pinterest's officially recommended dimension. This ratio displays fully in the feed without truncation and gets the best organic distribution.
Can I use square images on Pinterest?
Yes, 1000x1000 square pins work but take up less visual space in the feed compared to 2:3 vertical pins. Square format is better for product shots or simple graphics.
What about long/tall Pinterest pins?
Long pins (1000x2100 or taller) are great for infographics but Pinterest truncates them in the feed. Users must tap to see the full image. Keep the most compelling content in the top 1000x1500 area.
What file format should Pinterest pins be?
Pinterest recommends PNG or JPEG. Maximum file size is 20MB for images. Use high-quality images at 1000px minimum width for sharp display across devices.
