One ratio matters most: 2:3
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 portrait for standard Pins and image ads, usually stated as 1000 × 1500 pixels. The feed is laid out in columns of fixed width, so a taller Pin simply gets more space than a square or wide one.
Other ratios are accepted. Square is common for carousels, and 9:16 is used for full-screen formats. Go much taller than 2:3 in the feed and the Pin can be cut off.
Pinterest sizes by format
| Placement | Recommended or common size | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Pin | 1000 × 1500 (2:3) | The default for organic Pins and for image ads. |
| Carousel card | 1080 × 1080 (1:1) or 1000 × 1500 (2:3) | All cards in one carousel should share a ratio. |
| Collections, main image | 1080 × 1080 (1:1) or 1000 × 1500 (2:3) | The large image above the row of product images. |
| Full-screen formats | 1080 × 1920 (9:16) | For immersive, full-screen placements. |

Reading the numbers
1000 × 1500 is a minimum, not a rule
What Pinterest checks is the 2:3 shape. 1200 × 1800 is just as valid. Anything at least 1000 pixels wide stays sharp on high-resolution phones.
Wide images lose out
A landscape image is as wide as a portrait Pin but a fraction of its height, so it is easy to scroll past. If your creative is wide, place it whole in a 2:3 frame instead of posting it as it is.
Text overlays help Pins get found
A short title on the image is common on Pinterest and makes a Pin understandable at a glance. Leave room for it when you choose a background for the extra height.

Questions
What size is a Pinterest Pin in pixels?
1000 × 1500 pixels is the recommended size, which is a 2:3 aspect ratio.
Are Pinterest ad sizes different from Pin sizes?
No. A standard image ad is a promoted Pin, so it uses the same 2:3 recommendation.
Does Pinterest accept square images?
Yes. Square images are accepted for Pins and are common in carousels, though they take up less of the feed than a 2:3 Pin.
