What This Tool Does
This tool resizes images for Pinterest pins, boards, and profile pictures. Pinterest favors tall, vertical images that stand out in its scrolling feed. Upload your image, choose a preset, and download a pin-ready version.
Pinterest's layout rewards vertical images because they occupy more visual space in the feed. Horizontal or incorrectly sized images get compressed into smaller cards and receive less attention. Proper sizing is essential for visibility.

Best Practices for Images
- Use a 2:3 aspect ratio for standard pins, the shape Pinterest has recommended for most pins.
- Avoid extremely long pins. Pinterest may truncate images taller than a 1:2.1 ratio in the feed.
- Place your most important content in the top third of the pin, since the bottom may be cut off in smaller previews.
- Use readable text overlays, since many Pinterest users browse on mobile with smaller screens.
- High-contrast, bright images tend to perform better on Pinterest's visual feed.
- To turn one very tall image into several standard pins, cut it into equal parts first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What aspect ratio does Pinterest recommend?
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio for standard pins, which translates to 1000×1500 pixels.
Why do vertical images perform better on Pinterest?
Pinterest's feed is arranged in columns. Taller images take up more vertical space, making them more visible to users scrolling through the feed.
Does Pinterest crop my images?
Pinterest may crop the bottom of very tall images in the feed. The full image is shown when a user taps to open the pin.
Can I resize images for Pinterest ads?
There is no separate ad preset. Use the Standard Pin preset or Custom with the size from Pinterest's ad specifications.
