About the pinterest idea pin size
Pinterest's own specifications give 1080 × 1920 at a 9:16 ratio for its full-screen vertical formats, which is what an Idea Pin uses. This trips people up because Pinterest's other, better-known recommendation is 2:3 — the 1000 × 1500 standard pin. They are genuinely different shapes for genuinely different products, and using the wrong one means either bars down the sides or a crop into your layout.
The reason for the difference is where each is seen. A standard pin lives in the masonry feed alongside other pins, where 2:3 is the tallest shape shown in full. An Idea Pin takes over the whole screen, like a Story, so it matches the phone rather than the grid. If you are repurposing an existing pin design, do not simply scale it — the extra height at 9:16 needs to be composed for, not stretched into.

| Image | Size (px) | Max file | Source | What to know | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard pin | 1000 × 1500 | 20 MB | Official | 2:3 is the ratio Pinterest recommends and shows in full. | |
| Square pin | 1000 × 1000 | 20 MB | Official | 1:1. Useful for product shots and for reusing on Instagram. | |
| Long pin | 1000 × 2100 | 20 MB | Official | Taller than 2:3 gets truncated in the feed — 1000×2100 is the ceiling. | |
| Board cover | 600 × 600 | 20 MB | Official | Square, then cropped to a rounded shape on the profile grid. | |
| Profile picture | 165 × 165 | 10 MB | Official | Small circle — high contrast matters more than detail. | |
| Idea Pin | 1080 × 1920 | 20 MB | Official | 9:16 full screen, the same canvas Pinterest uses for video Pins. |
Tips for Pinterest
What actually makes the difference once the size is right.
Do not stretch a 2:3 pin to fill 9:16
They are different shapes. Recompose the layout for the taller frame, or fill the extra space with a blurred edge rather than distorting it.
Keep the top and bottom clear
Pinterest overlays your profile at the top and the title and controls at the bottom of a full-screen pin.
The first frame is the whole pitch
It is what appears in the feed before anyone taps. Treat it with the same care as a standard pin's only image.
Text large, few words
Full-screen pins are consumed at speed. A short line set large beats a paragraph set small every time.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Pinterest Idea Pin?
1080 × 1920 pixels at a 9:16 ratio, which is the resolution Pinterest's own specifications give for its full-screen vertical formats.
How is an Idea Pin different from a standard pin?
A standard pin is 2:3 — usually 1000 × 1500 — and lives in the masonry feed. An Idea Pin is 9:16 full screen, closer to a Story. Both have their own page here.
Can I reuse the same image for both?
Not by stretching. Use the crop or blurred-edge options on this page to recompose it for the taller frame without distortion.
What is the file size limit?
Pinterest allows up to 20 MB per image, which is generous. This tool still compresses sensibly so pins load quickly in the feed.
Does Pinterest still favour Idea Pins?
Pinterest's formats and their names change over time. What has stayed constant is the 9:16 shape for full-screen vertical content and 2:3 for standard pins.
