Pinterest Pin Size Guide (2026)
The right size makes your pin fill the feed instead of getting cropped or shrunk. Here are the dimensions that work best in 2026.
Standard pin (use this most)
- Aspect ratio: 2:3
- Best size: 1000 × 1500 px
- This is the sweet spot — tall enough to stand out, not so tall it gets truncated.
Longer pins
- Ratio: up to 1:2.1 (e.g. 1000 × 2100 px)
- Good for step-by-step or infographic content, but can get cut off in some views. Test before relying on it.
Square pins
- Ratio: 1:1 (1000 × 1000 px)
- Works but takes less vertical space in the feed, so it stands out less than 2:3.
Idea pins & video
- Ratio: 9:16 (1080 × 1920 px) — full-screen vertical, like Stories.
Board cover
- Ratio: 1:1, displayed as a circle/square — keep the subject centered.
File tips: Use PNG or JPG, keep text large and readable at thumbnail size, and put the most important words in the top two-thirds.

What is the best Pinterest pin size?
1000 × 1500 px (a 2:3 ratio) for standard pins — it's the most reliable across the feed.
Do square pins work on Pinterest?
They work, but 2:3 vertical pins take up more feed space and usually get more attention.
