Frequently asked questions
What is the ideal Pinterest pin size?
The ideal Pinterest pin size is 1000×1500 pixels with a 2:3 aspect ratio. This size displays perfectly in Pinterest feeds without cropping and is optimized for both desktop and mobile viewing. Pinterest officially recommends this ratio for the best performance.
What resolution should Pinterest images be?
Pinterest recommends at least 1000px width for optimal image resolution. The ideal resolution is 1000x1500px at 72 DPI for web. Images under 600px wide may appear blurry on high-resolution mobile displays.
What happens if my image is too small?
Images smaller than 600px wide may appear blurry or pixelated on Pinterest, especially on high-resolution mobile devices. Pinterest may also deprioritize low-quality images in search results and feeds, reducing your visibility and engagement.
Can I use landscape images on Pinterest?
While you can upload landscape images, they perform poorly on Pinterest. Horizontal images take up less feed space and get significantly lower engagement. If you have landscape content, consider adding vertical padding or text to create a taller format.
What file formats does Pinterest support?
Pinterest supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP formats. JPEG works best for photos, PNG is ideal for graphics with text or transparency, and GIF is great for simple animations. WebP offers the best compression but has limited editing tool support.
Why do my pins look blurry after uploading?
Blurry pins usually result from uploading images that are too small (under 600px wide) or using heavy JPEG compression. Always upload at least 1000px wide for crisp results, and use PNG for text-heavy graphics to avoid compression artifacts.
What's the maximum image size Pinterest allows?
Pinterest accepts images up to 32MB and 20,000 pixels on the longest side. However, for optimal loading speed and user experience, keep images under 20MB and 3000px tall. Extremely long pins may be truncated in feeds.
