Pinterest Image Size Cheat Sheet 2026

Q: What is the best Pinterest pin size?

The recommended pin size is 1000x1500 pixels (2:3 aspect ratio). This takes up the most vertical space in the feed without being truncated. Pinterest recommends a minimum width of 600 pixels.

Q: What is the Pinterest profile picture size?

Pinterest displays profile photos at 165x165 pixels, shown as a circle. Upload at 400x400 or higher for Retina display clarity. JPEG and PNG formats are supported.

Q: Does Pinterest crop images?

Yes. Pinterest displays pins at their original aspect ratio in the feed, up to a maximum height. Images taller than a 2:3 ratio may be truncated in the feed view, with the full image visible only when clicked.

Q: What image format is best for Pinterest?

JPEG is recommended for photographs and complex images. PNG works better for graphics with text overlays or transparency. Pinterest supports both formats with a maximum file size of 20 MB.

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. FastEdit uses a 330x330 profile-photo preset to provide a sharper square source than the displayed avatar size. Properly sized pins get more saves and clicks because they stand out in the grid layout.

Before you upload

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.
