Pinterest pin size
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio, for example 1000 × 1500 pixels. Taller pins may be cut off in the feed, and square pins look small next to everything else. The editor above starts at the recommended size.
How to design a pin that gets clicks
- Start with a strong photo. Add it from the Background panel so it fills the whole pin.
- Add a text overlay. Pins with a clear title — “7 Easy Dinner Ideas”, “How to Repot a Monstera” — tell people what they will get when they click.
- Put the title on a solid block. Add a rectangle behind the text and lower its transparency a little, so the words stay readable on any photo.
- Brand it lightly. Your website or logo at the bottom, small. It builds recognition when pins get saved and re-shared.
Pin design checklist
- Title readable on a phone at thumbnail size.
- No more than two fonts — one bold for the title, one simple for details.
- Vertical photo, or a photo cropped tight on the subject.
- One clear benefit or promise; save details for the landing page.
- Make several versions: change the photo or headline and test which gets more saves.
