Pinterest Image Sizes & Presets
Pinterest is a visual-first platform where image quality directly impacts engagement. Standard pins should be 1000x1500 pixels (2:3 ratio), which takes up the most space in the Pinterest feed. Profile photos display at 165x165 pixels. Properly sized pins get more saves and clicks because they stand out in the grid layout. FastEdit resizes your images to Pinterest's ideal dimensions.
Presets
Standard Pin
1000x1500 JPEG / PNG Max 20 MB
Recommended pin image at 2:3 aspect ratio. This ratio takes up maximum vertical space in the feed. Taller images get more engagement on Pinterest.
Profile Photo
165x165 JPEG / PNG Max 10 MB
Profile picture displayed as a circle in the Pinterest interface. Upload at higher resolution (400x400) for sharper display on Retina screens.
Tips
- The 2:3 aspect ratio (1000x1500) is Pinterest's recommended ratio: taller pins occupy more feed space and tend to get more clicks.
- Include text overlays on pins with bold, readable fonts: Pinterest is a search-driven platform where descriptive images perform better.
- Avoid aspect ratios taller than 2:3: Pinterest truncates extremely tall images (above 1260px height) in the feed.
- Use warm, bright colors in pin images: Pinterest's own research shows red and orange-toned images get more repins.
