## Pinterest image sizes overview

Pinterest is a vertically driven platform where images are consumed quickly while scrolling. Pins that follow recommended aspect ratios take up more visual space in the feed and are less likely to be cropped or truncated.

While Pinterest supports multiple image formats, using the correct pin dimensions helps preserve layout, improve readability, and ensure designs display consistently across devices.

## Standard pin

**Recommended vs supported sizes**  
Standard Pinterest Pins are best designed at **1000 × 1500 pixels**, using a **2:3 aspect ratio**. This is the most widely supported and commonly used Pin format.

**Best practices for feed visibility**  
Vertical Pins naturally occupy more space in the feed, making them easier to notice while scrolling. Keep titles and key visuals centered and avoid placing text near the top or bottom edges.

**Quality and export considerations**  
Design at the exact dimensions to avoid scaling. Export at high quality to reduce visible compression.

## Square pin

**Recommended vs supported sizes**  
Square Pins use **1000 × 1000 pixels** with a **1:1 aspect ratio**. While supported, they take up less vertical space than standard Pins.

**Best practices for feed visibility**  
Square Pins work best for minimal designs or repurposed content. Use strong focal points and limit text to maintain readability.

**Quality and export considerations**  
Because square Pins appear smaller in the feed, sharp imagery and high contrast are important.

## Long pin

**Recommended vs supported sizes**  
Long Pins are commonly designed at **1000 × 1800 pixels**, creating a taller vertical layout. Pinterest supports this format, but may truncate overly tall Pins in the feed.

**Best practices for feed visibility**  
Keep essential content within the upper portion of the Pin to ensure it remains visible without expanding. Avoid placing critical information too low.

**Quality and export considerations**  
Export at exact dimensions and avoid excessive height to prevent cutoff.

## Video pin

**Recommended vs supported sizes**  
Video Pins perform best at **1080 × 1920 pixels**, using a **9:16 aspect ratio** optimized for vertical viewing.

**Best practices for feed visibility**  
Design videos so key visuals and text remain centered. Avoid placing important elements near the edges where interface controls may overlap.

**Quality and export considerations**  
Use high-resolution exports and avoid heavy compression to maintain clarity during autoplay.

## Profile picture

**Recommended vs supported sizes**  
Pinterest profile pictures should be uploaded at **165 × 165 pixels** using a **1:1 aspect ratio**. These images are displayed as circles.

**Best practices for visibility**  
Center logos or faces so they remain visible after circular cropping.

**Quality and export considerations**  
Simple designs with clear contrast remain recognizable at small sizes.

## Board cover

**Recommended vs supported sizes**  
Board covers display at **222 × 150 pixels** and appear as horizontal rectangles on profile pages.

**Best practices for visibility**  
Use clean imagery and avoid small text, as board covers display at very small sizes.

**Quality and export considerations**  
Design at the exact size to prevent soft edges after resizing.

## Pro tips for Pinterest images

- Use vertical formats to maximize feed visibility
- Keep important content within safe areas to avoid truncation
- Avoid overly tall Pins that may be cut off
- Design at recommended pixel dimensions
- Export images at the highest available quality
