Pinterest Aspect Ratios At A Glance

Wondering what size Pinterest Pins should be? Here’s a handy list of aspect ratios to keep in your back pocket while you’re creating Pins. We’ll go into detail on each of these in the sections below!

With a platform that is constantly changing, here is our most recent update as of May 2022.

Pinterest Ads Sizing:

Pinterest Board Sizing

A Pinterest board cover should be about 600×600 with an aspect ratio of 1×1. The higher resolution the better, as these images will be larger on desktop and mobile than a regular Pin.

Pinterest Standard Pin Sizes & Dimensions

The ideal Pinterest image size is 1000 x 1500px and an aspect ratio of 2:3. In fact, Pinterest updated their own best-practices page to recommend 2:3 ratio. They clarify that “other ratios… may negatively impact performance”.

These Pinterest dimensions are recommended by the platform for standard size Pins, to guarantee the best Pin image quality possible!

Photo sizes should be a minimum of 600 x 900.

Pinterest says 1000 x 1500 is the optimal Pinterest image size, because if your image falls outside this ratio it could get truncated in people’s feeds and they won’t get to see your full Pin. Here are some examples of 2:3 Pin designs!

Pinterest Infographic Pins Sizes & Dimensions

Using Infographic Pins is a topic of debate in Pinterest marketing communities for a few reasons.

• One, long infographic Pins are not a recommended Pin size from Pinterest.
• Two, infographics that are longer than 1:2.1 aspect ratio will get cut off in the feed.

As we mentioned in the section above about Long Pins, truncated Pins are negatively impacted in search, and have to get double the engagement to prove value to the algorithm.

But some bloggers say their best-performing Pins are infographic Pins!

Our take is that there is nothing wrong with testing them out (or any Pinterest Pin size) to see how well they support your Pinterest marketing strategy.

Pinterest Carousel Pins Sizes and Dimensions

Carousels appear in the home feed just like other Pins, and can swipe through each carousel “card.” When a Pinner taps on the card, they can swipe through each card and the corresponding page you’ve linked it to!

Carousel Pins can be either standard Pin Size (2:3) or Square Pins (1:1).

When to Use Carousel Pins:

Pinterest carousel Pins are a great way to showcase different features or shots of a product, advertise multiple products or tell a Story!

Pinterest Collection Pins

If you’ve scanned the Product specs guide from Pinterest, you might find yourself slightly confused by the image size that works best here.

Pinterest says: “All creatives must have the same aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) or 2:3 (vertical). We recommend making your secondary creatives with a 1:1 aspect ratio to best control how they appear in people’s feeds. If the creative is not 1:1, the cropping will occur at the center of the image.”

First Image Sizing (hero image):

Essentially, you’re going to have to use multiple sizes here for the best fit in display. Your first image (hero image) should be the standard Pin Size of 2:3.

Additional Images:

After the hero image, any other images you add to your collection (minimum 3 and a max of 24) will display in a 1:1 aspect ratio. If you upload any images bigger than this they will be automatically cropped. Pinterest says this is cropped from the center, but when we tried it, it was definitely wonky! We recommend you play it safe and upload a square image to begin with.

So, to recap: for the first Pin image in your collection, use a 2:3 aspect ratio. For the rest of your images, use 1:1!

Pinterest Story Pins

Like Facebook and Instagram Stories, Pinterest Story Pins use the full-mobile screen aspect ratio of 9:16.

Story Pins can be static images or video up to 60 seconds long. Here are some other handy specs to keep in mind while creating your Pinterest Story Pin:

• Max File Size: 20mb for images, 100mb for video
• Length: 1-60 seconds long (video)
• Size and Dimensions: 1080 x 1920 pixels, or 9:16

Pinterest Video Pins Sizes and Dimensions

Video Pin Audio

Most Pinterest users do not have their audio on when scrolling through their Pinterest feed, so try to create video Pins that do not rely on audio.

Instead, use your Pinterest video Pin as a “teaser” for the content you are sharing!

Video Pin Titles and Descriptions

Video Pin titles can be up to 100 characters long, with a Pin description up to 500 characters.

Keep in mind, the first 50-60 characters are most likely to show in people’s feeds. So make sure your description gets right to the point. And, remember to incorporate keywords for great Pinterest SEO!

Pinterest Profile Picture Size

When it comes to profile picture size for Pinterest, you’ll want to make sure the photo is clear and unblurred.

With that in mind, the best Pinterest profile pictures are sized to 160 x 160 px!
