What is the maximum Pinterest pin size?

What size should Pinterest infographics be?

1000×3000px (1:3 ratio) is the maximum visible height for Pinterest infographics. Pinterest clips anything taller in the feed preview. For very long infographics, consider splitting into multiple pins.

Pinterest Image Size Requirements

Pinterest is a visual discovery platform — image size directly affects how much space your pin takes up in the feed and how many people see it. Taller pins occupy more vertical space, giving them more visibility than square or landscape images. Here are the exact specifications for every Pinterest image type:

Pin type	Dimensions	Ratio	Best for
Standard Pin	1000×1500px	2:3	Most content — recommended by Pinterest
Square Pin	1000×1000px	1:1	Product shots, simple graphics
Long Pin	1000×2100px	1:2.1	Step-by-step tutorials, recipes
Infographic Pin	1000×3000px	1:3	Data, statistics, multi-step guides
Story Pin (frame)	1080×1920px	9:16	Multi-page story posts
Profile Picture	165×165px	1:1	Displayed as circle

Pinterest clips pins taller than 1:3 ratio in the feed — the full image is visible after clicking. Pinterest recommends 1000px wide and 1500px tall (2:3) as the standard for most content.

How to Resize an Image for Pinterest — 3 Steps

1
Select your Pinterest pin type
Choose the format at the top — Standard Pin (1000×1500), Square Pin (1000×1000), Long Pin (1000×2100), or Infographic (1000×3000). Standard Pin (2:3) is the recommended format for most content — it gets the most feed visibility.
2
Upload your image
Click the upload area or drag and drop your JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC file. HEIC photos from iPhone are automatically converted to JPEG. Processing starts immediately.
3
Download and pin to Pinterest
Download the resized image and upload it directly to Pinterest as a new Pin. Select your board, add a title and description, and publish. The image dimensions already match Pinterest specifications.

Pinterest Pin Formats — Which Gets More Views

Pinterest displays content in a masonry grid where taller pins naturally occupy more vertical space — and more space means more visibility. The aspect ratio you choose directly affects how prominent your pin appears in the feed.

Standard (1000×1500) — 2:3

The recommended format. Takes up 50% more vertical space than a square pin. Gets the best visibility-to-content ratio without being clipped.

Square (1000×1000) — 1:1

The least vertical space. Good for product shots where the subject is equally wide and tall. Lower feed visibility than 2:3.

Long (1000×2100) — 1:2.1

More vertical space than 2:3, shown in full. Best for step-by-step tutorials and before/after comparisons where vertical storytelling matters.

Infographic (1000×3000) — 1:3

Maximum height visible before Pinterest clips. Feed shows a "See more" prompt — clicks are required to see the full image. High intent traffic when the topic matches.

Pinterest SEO — How Image Size Affects Reach

Pinterest functions as a visual search engine — pins are indexed and ranked by Pinterest Search, Google Image Search, and Google Web Search. Image size and quality affect how Pinterest ranks your pins in both internal and external search results.

→Higher resolution = better quality signal. Pinterest gives preference to high-quality images in its recommendation algorithm. Upload at 1000px wide minimum — lower-resolution images are deprioritized.
→Tall pins get more repins. Data from Pinterest creators consistently shows 2:3 and longer pins outperforming square pins for saves and repins — the primary Pinterest engagement metric.
→Add text overlay with your keyword. Pinterest reads text in images for categorization. Including your target keyword as a text overlay (e.g., "Easy Chicken Dinner Recipe") reinforces the topic signal for Pinterest Search.

Does Pinterest Compress Images?

Yes. Pinterest compresses all uploaded images to JPEG for fast delivery. The compression is moderate — less aggressive than Instagram or WhatsApp — but still visible on images with fine text or gradients. To get the best quality after Pinterest compression:

→Upload at exactly 1000px wide. Pinterest resamples images wider or narrower than 1000px. Uploading at exactly 1000px wide skips the resampling step and preserves the most detail.
→Use PNG for text-heavy infographics. Pinterest converts PNG to JPEG internally, but starting from PNG lossless gives the conversion algorithm better source material — resulting in sharper text.
→Keep file size under 20MB. Pinterest accepts files up to 20MB. A 1000×1500 JPEG at quality 90 is typically 200–500KB — far below the limit. There is no benefit to uploading unnecessarily large files.

Tips for High-Performing Pinterest Pins

→Use warm, bright colors. Pinterest's user base skews toward lifestyle, home, food, and fashion content. Warm tones (red, orange, pink) and bright, saturated images consistently outperform dark or muted imagery in Pinterest click-through tests.
→Include a clear call to action in text overlay. Pins that tell viewers exactly what they will get — "Download the free template", "Get the full recipe" — consistently drive more clicks to your website than pins with no text.
→Use your brand colors consistently. Pinners who recognize your visual style are more likely to click your pins when they appear in search or the home feed. Consistent colors, fonts, and layouts build brand recognition across hundreds of pins.
→Avoid faces for product and DIY content. On Pinterest (unlike Instagram and TikTok), pins without faces can outperform face-forward content for product categories. The focus should be on the item, result, or process — not the creator.

Privacy — Your Photos Never Leave Your Device

All resizing happens 100% in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to a server, never stored, and never analyzed. There is no cloud account, no retention policy, and no third-party access of any kind.
