What size should a Pinterest pin be?

1000 x 1500 pixels, a 2:3 aspect ratio. It is Pinterest's recommended size and the one the vertical feed rewards. You can go larger at the same ratio (2000 x 3000) for sharpness, but do not exceed roughly 1:2.1 in height or the feed crops the bottom.

Why 2:3 for Pinterest?

Pinterest's feed is a vertical masonry layout, and a 2:3 pin takes up the most space without being cropped. Square pins work but claim less room; landscape performs worst. 2:3 is the practical sweet spot for reach.

What size are Pinterest idea or video pins?

1080 x 1920 pixels (9:16), full-screen vertical like a story. Keep text and key content centered so Pinterest's interface does not cover it. Use the custom dimensions in this tool to set 1080 x 1920.

Should a Pinterest pin be PNG or JPG?

PNG for pins with text overlays (most Pinterest pins have text), because it keeps the letters crisp. JPG for pure photographs. Export in sRGB and keep the file under Pinterest's 20 MB limit.

Pinterest is built around the 2:3 pin

On Pinterest, the image size is the strategy. The feed is vertical and favors tall pins, and 1000 x 1500 (2:3) is the size that fills the most space without being cropped. Pinterest trims pins taller than about 1:2.1 in the feed, so 2:3 is the practical maximum height.

Design at 1000 x 1500 (or 2000 x 3000 for a sharper source at the same ratio). Use PNG when your pin has a text overlay, which most do, and JPG for pure photos. Square pins are fine for a tidy look but give up reach because they take less vertical space. For the full breakdown including idea pins and board covers, see the Pinterest pin size guide.
