What is the Pinterest pin size?

1000 by 1500 pixels, a 2:3 vertical image. It is the shape Pinterest recommends for a standard pin.

What is the best aspect ratio for Pinterest?

2:3. Taller pins get cut off in the home feed, and wider ones take less space in its narrow columns.

What size is a Pinterest board cover?

800 by 450 pixels. Keep the subject centred so it reads at thumbnail size on your profile.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Your image opens in your browser and is processed on your own device; it is never sent to Posty or anyone else. Saving a download re-encodes the image, which also strips the EXIF data your camera stored, including GPS location. You do not need an account.

Why 2:3 is the pin size to use

Pinterest’s feed is a grid of narrow columns, so tall images take more room than wide ones. 2:3 at 1000 by 1500 pixels is the shape Pinterest recommends. Pins taller than 2:3 get cut off in the home feed, so extra height does not buy extra attention.

Pins are often seen small on phones. Put the title in large type near the top or middle, leave a clear margin at the edges, and save graphics with text as PNG so the letters stay sharp.

Board covers are 800 by 450 pixels. They show at thumbnail size on your profile, so a single clear subject in the centre works better than a busy collage.
