What size is a Pinterest Pin?

1000 × 1500 pixels, a 2:3 ratio, is the size Pinterest recommends. It works in the app and through schedulers.

What are the standard Pinterest Pin dimensions in 2026?

Standard image Pins are 1000 × 1500 (2:3), square Pins 1000 × 1000 (1:1), and full-screen video Pins 1080 × 1920 (9:16). The app's size tool also offers 3:4 and 4:5.

For video, yes: Pinterest recommends 9:16 at 1080 × 1920 for full-screen videos. For image Pins its recommendation is 2:3, and taller images may get cut off in the feed.

Why is Pinterest cropping my images?

Pinterest says aspect ratios taller than 2:3 "may get cut off in people's feeds." Resize to 1000 × 1500 and keep the key text near the top.

What size is a Pinterest carousel?

2 to 5 images, all at the same ratio, ideally 2:3 (1000 × 1500) or 1:1 (1000 × 1000). Through the API, a carousel with mixed ratios is refused.

What size is a Pinterest video?

1080 × 1920 (9:16) for a full-screen video Pin. Pinterest also accepts 1:2, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5 and 1:1.

What is the Pinterest profile picture size?

Pinterest does not publish one. Use a square image and keep the subject centered, because it shows as a circle.

What file types does Pinterest accept?

In the app, BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP images up to 20 MB on the web, and MP4, M4V or MOV video. Through the API that schedulers use, JPEG and PNG images.

Can I post a Pin taller than 2:3?

Yes, but Pinterest warns it may be cut off in the feed. OmniSocials keeps such an image as it is and flags it, and it can crop it to 2:3 if you ask.

What is the Pinterest Pin size in inches?

Pinterest works in pixels, so inches do not apply on screen. If a design tool asks, 1000 × 1500 px is about 13.9 × 20.8 inches (35.3 × 52.9 cm) at 72 DPI; export it by pixels.

Standard 2:3

Use it for: Most Pins
In the app: Yes, Pinterest's pick
Via schedulers: Yes, JPEG or PNG
Note: Taller may be cut in the feed

The short answer

Use 1000 × 1500 (2:3). It is Pinterest's recommended size, in the app and via schedulers.

Pinterest recommends "a 2:3 aspect ratio, or 1000 x 1500 pixels" and warns that "Larger aspect ratios may get cut off in people's feeds." In the app you can also pick 9:16, 3:4, 4:5 or 1:1, and image files can be BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF or WebP, up to 20 MB on the web.

Schedulers, OmniSocials included, publish through Pinterest's API. It takes JPEG and PNG images and carousels of 2 to 5 images at one ratio. Video Pins look best at 1080 × 1920 (9:16); keep text out of the top 270 px and the bottom 790 px.

Standard Pin: 1000 × 1500; 2:3, Pinterest's recommended size
Video Pin: 1080 × 1920; 9:16, for full-screen video
Carousel: 2 to 5 images; One ratio, through the API

Max-width video ad	Any size at the ratio	No taller than 1:1	Ads only
Profile photo	Not published	1:1	Shows as a circle

Sizes from Pinterest's Help Center, its ad specs and its API reference, read on October 17, 2026. Carousel ratios are from Pinterest's ad specs; Pinterest publishes no profile photo size.

App vs schedulers

What the app allows, and what a scheduled Pin must fit. Schedulers publish through Pinterest's API.

Pinterest image and video limits in the Pinterest app compared with Pinterest's API used by scheduling tools
Limit	Pinterest app	Schedulers (the API)
Image types	BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP	JPEG or PNG
Image file	Up to 20 MB on the web	Not published
Images per Pin	One; several files become separate Pins (web) or a video Pin (app)	One, or a carousel of 2 to 5 at one ratio
Video types	MP4, M4V on the web; MOV too in the app	MP4, MOV or M4V
Video length	4 seconds to 5 minutes	Not published separately

Every scheduler, OmniSocials included, publishes through Pinterest's API, so the right column is what a scheduled Pin must fit. OmniSocials converts WebP to JPEG and flags images taller than 2:3; it can crop them to 2:3 on request.

What changed

What changed for Pin images. Covers and labels.

Oct 2025
GenAI labels on image Pins
Pinterest labels image Pins it detects "may have been generated or modified using GenAI", and said the labels would become more noticeable. Users can also choose to see less GenAI content. Source
Jun 2025
Video covers from a frame, through the API
Pinterest's API added a cover frame time for video Pins, so a scheduler can use a frame of the video as the cover instead of a separate image. Source

Tips

Size it once, Pin it anywhere. Six rules that cover most Pins.

Default to 1000 × 1500
It is Pinterest's recommended size, and it fits the app and every scheduler.
Do not go taller than 2:3
Pinterest warns that taller images "may get cut off in people's feeds". Put the message in the top part of the Pin.
Keep text inside the safe zone
On a 1080 × 1920 Pin, keep text 270 px from the top, 790 px from the bottom, 65 px from the left and 195 px from the right.
One ratio per carousel
Through the API, a carousel of mixed shapes is refused. Crop all 2 to 5 images to 2:3 or all to 1:1.
Export JPEG or PNG for schedulers
The app takes WebP and TIFF, but the API takes JPEG and PNG. OmniSocials converts WebP for you.
Shoot video vertical
Pinterest recommends 9:16 for full-screen video. In Tailwind's 2024 data, videos between 2:3 and 1:2 showed stronger engagement.

Publishing

Upload any image. OmniSocials converts it for Pinterest and flags Pins the feed may cut.
