What is the best Pinterest pin size?

The standard Pinterest pin is 1000×1500 pixels (2:3 ratio). This tall vertical format performs best in the Pinterest feed as it takes up more space and catches the eye.

What size is a Pinterest profile picture?

Pinterest profile pictures display at 165×165 pixels. Keep it simple — this is a small size where complex details won't show.

What size should Pinterest board covers be?

Pinterest board covers are 600×600 pixels (1:1 square). Use a consistent style across board covers to give your profile a cohesive look.

What format should I save Pinterest images in?

PNG preserves the best quality for graphics and text overlays. JPG works well for photographs. Avoid saving over-compressed JPGs as Pinterest re-compresses images on upload.

Can Pinterest pins have a transparent background?

Pinterest does not display transparency — transparent areas will render as white. Use a solid background color for all Pinterest images.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

Why Use This Tool?

Pinterest is a visual discovery engine where tall images dominate. The 2:3 aspect ratio is optimized for Pinterest's column-based feed — images that are too wide get compressed, and square images take up less feed space. For brands, boards need cohesive cover images that look great together on your profile.

Your images are processed entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after loading the page — the tool works offline.

Tip: Standard pins (1000×1500, 2:3 ratio) consistently outperform square and landscape formats on Pinterest. The extra vertical height gives your content more real estate in the feed and makes it harder to scroll past.

Tips for Pinterest Images

Standard pins (2:3) perform best — the tall format dominates the masonry feed and stands out against square images.
Add text overlays to pins — Pinterest users often save images for later reference, and a title or brief description embedded in the image helps when they return to it.
Board cover consistency — use the same color palette and font treatment across your board covers for a professional, branded profile grid.
Story Pins are a newer format at 1080×1920 — they support multiple pages and are great for tutorials, recipes, or step-by-step content.
High contrast and bright colors perform well on Pinterest, which skews toward inspiration and aspiration content.
