Frequently asked questions
What size should a Pinterest board cover be?
Pinterest board covers should be 600×600 pixels (1:1 square ratio). While Pinterest accepts images as small as 340×340px, using 600×600 ensures crisp display on high-resolution screens and retina displays.
How do I change my Pinterest board cover?
To change a board cover: Open Pinterest → Go to your profile → Click on the board → Click the pencil/edit icon → Select 'Change cover' → Upload a new image or choose from existing pins → Adjust the crop area → Save. You can also set any pin from that board as the cover.
Why does my board cover look blurry?
Blurry board covers usually result from uploading images smaller than 340px or with heavy compression. Always upload at least 600×600px for best quality. PNG format works well for graphics, JPEG for photos.
Can I use any image as a board cover?
You can use any square image as a board cover, or Pinterest will center-crop rectangular images to fit the square format. For best results, prepare a 600×600px square image with important content centered.
Do board covers affect SEO or discoverability?
Board covers don't directly impact Pinterest SEO or search rankings. However, attractive, cohesive board covers improve your profile's visual appeal, which can increase follows and engagement — indirectly boosting your reach.
What happens if I upload a non-square image?
Pinterest will automatically center-crop non-square images to fit the 1:1 square format. This means content near the edges may be cut off. For full control, use this tool to crop your image before uploading.
