Pinterest Image Sizes Guide (2026)
Pinterest is a visual discovery platform where image quality and dimensions directly impact performance. Pins that follow Pinterest's recommended sizes get more impressions, clicks, and saves. This guide covers all Pinterest image sizes for 2026.
Standard Pin (1000 x 1500)
The recommended pin size is 1000×1500 pixels with a 2:3 aspect ratio. This is the golden ratio for Pinterest — taller pins take up more space in the feed and get more attention. Pins at this size display cleanly without any unexpected cropping.
Long Pins (1000 x 2100)
Long-form pins at 1000×2100 (or even taller) work well for infographics, step-by-step tutorials, and listicles. Pinterest may truncate very tall pins in the feed with a 'See more' overlay, but they still perform well for educational content.
Square Pins (1000 x 1000)
Square pins are supported but take up less space than vertical pins in the feed. Use square pins for product images, quotes, and content where vertical space isn't needed.
Pinterest Profile Picture (280 x 280)
Profile pictures display at 280×280 pixels. Use a clear brand mark or headshot. The profile picture appears on your boards and in search results.
Tips for High-Performing Pins
Use high-quality images with vibrant colors. Add text overlays that describe the pin content — this helps with Pinterest search. Include your brand logo subtly. Use vertical orientations for maximum feed visibility. Rich pins with product information perform better than standard pins.
