Resize Images for Pinterest (2:3, 1000×1500)

The ideal Pin size in 2026

2:3 (1000×1500px) is the safest, most reliable format for Pinterest. It displays fully in the feed without cropping and leaves room for a clean text overlay if you add one.

Avoid 1:1 pins for repin-heavy content — the feed increasingly prioritizes tall images.

How to make a perfect pin

1. Open the Resize Image tool.
2. Drop your photo.
3. Set width to 1000px and height to 1500px (crop will center automatically).
4. Download as JPG at 80-85% quality.
5. Pin it with a keyword-rich description.

A 1000×1500 pin loads fast and keeps Pinterest's crawler happy — which helps your pins rank in Pinterest search.

JPG or PNG for pins?

Use JPG for photos and full-bleed designs. Choose PNG only for pins with overlays, logos or sharp graphics that need perfect edges. JPG keeps pins under 1MB — faster uploads on every device.

Pinterest's tall-pin geometry

Pinterest displays pins in a multi-column feed where image height controls how much screen space the pin occupies - taller pins physically push competitors down the feed. The platform recommends 1000x1500 pixels (2:3 ratio) for standard pins; taller ratios still publish but get cropped in the feed view.

Text overlays work on Pinterest in a way they do not on Instagram, because pins are read as mini-articles: a short title baked into the top third of a 2:3 image measurably improves saves. Keep that text inside the top 1000x500 region so profile-page crops and search thumbnails do not cut it off. Export as JPG for photographic pins (smaller files, faster feeds) and PNG when the pin is text-heavy or graphic-based. File size stays secondary here - Pinterest re-encodes on upload - but staying under 2MB avoids processing delays on bulk uploads.
