Pinterest is a vertical, image-first platform, so a 2:3 pin usually gets the most space in the feed. Taller images can be truncated, so 2:3 is the safe default.
Common Image Size Reference
| Placement | Working Size | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard pin | 1000 x 1500 | 2:3 | Recommended pin ratio for the best feed visibility. |
| Square pin | 1000 x 1000 | 1:1 | Useful when reusing square graphics across platforms. |
| Profile photo | 165 x 165 or larger | 1:1 | Displayed as a circle — center the subject. |
Why 2:3 Works Best
Pinterest gives vertical pins more room in the feed, and very tall pins can be cut off. A 2:3 ratio (for example 1000 x 1500) is tall enough to stand out without being truncated, which makes it the reliable default.
Batch Prepare Your Pins
Start from high-resolution images and crop each one to 2:3 with the subject centered. TapCrop can batch-crop a set of pins to the same ratio and export JPG or PNG, so a whole board stays consistent.
Cropping and Export Tips
- Prefer 2:3 pins for the most feed space.
- Avoid extremely tall images, which can be truncated.
- Keep the focal subject centered when cropping.
- Export JPG for photos and PNG for graphics with text.
