Best Pinterest Pin Size

If you are on Pinterest and need to know the best Pinterest pin size, this post is for you! I am a marketing lover who is obsessed with all things Pinterest. I am here to help you!

It does depend on what type of pin you are creating, but I will cover all of them below let’s go!

Pin Sizes for Pinterest

Are you curious what the best pin size is for Pinterest? According to recent studies, images that are tall and skinny receive the most repins. So a ratio of 2:3 works best. Now that can be 1000×1500 or 1200×1800, but you don’t want to go any bigger so you can see the whole pin on a mobile screen.

File typePNG or JPEG.
Max file sizeDesktop 20 MB, In-app 32 MB
Aspect ratioWe recommend using a 2:3 aspect ratio, or 1000 x 1500 pixels. Pins with an aspect ratio greater than 2:3 might get cut off in people’s feeds.

So, if you’re looking to create pins that will engage users and get shared, make sure your image dimensions are within this range. In addition, be sure to use high-quality images that are eye-catching and relevant to your target audience. By following these tips, you can create pins that will help promote your business on Pinterest and drive traffic back to your website.
