Why the 2:3 ratio wins in the feed
Pinterest is a vertical, mobile-first feed, and the 2:3 ratio (1000x1500) occupies the maximum height allowed before Pinterest starts truncating a pin. Taller pins get cut off; shorter ones waste screen space. At 1000x1500 your pin takes up more of the scroll than a square, giving it a better shot at stopping the scroll and earning a save.
Because pins are viewed small on phones, keep any text overlay large and high-contrast, and place it where it will not be covered by Pinterest's UI at the bottom. If you go taller than 2:3 — for an infographic, say — expect the feed to crop the preview, so front-load the most compelling part. Pinterest supports JPG, PNG, and WebP, and while it allows files up to 20MB, keeping under 5MB helps pins load quickly.
Resize your pin without uploading it
The resize is done in your browser with the Canvas API, so your pin graphic never leaves your device — helpful when the design links back to an unpublished product or post. Choose the 1000x1500 preset, drop your image in, and download the vertical pin ready to upload to Pinterest.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Pinterest pin size?
1000x1500 pixels, a 2:3 aspect ratio. It fills the most feed space before Pinterest truncates a pin and is favored by the algorithm, so it tends to get more saves and clicks.
What happens if my pin is taller than 2:3?
Pinterest crops the preview in the feed for pins taller than 2:3. If you need a long pin, put the most important content near the top so it shows before the truncation.

Pinterest allows up to 20MB, but keeping your pin under 5MB helps it load fast. Resize to 1000x1500 and export as JPG, PNG, or WebP.
