Pinterest Pin Size

Prepare in one place
Publish Action
Prepare a vertical Pinterest Pin layout with a safer Publish preset.
Use one preparation flow for sizes, titles, descriptions, keywords, and checklists instead of switching between separate tools.
Important Notes
- Very tall Pins can be cropped or feel less predictable in feeds.
- Pinterest is heavily mobile-driven, so vertical creative is usually safer than wide horizontal creative.
- Organic Pin specs and ad specs may differ, especially around descriptions and campaign placements.
Best Practices
- Use a clean vertical composition with the main idea visible at a glance.
- Keep important text away from edges and crowded areas.
- Use high-resolution product, tutorial, or idea-focused visuals.
- Test whether the Pin is still readable when shown as a small feed preview.
Common Mistakes
- Designing only for desktop instead of mobile.
- Using too much text overlay.
- Placing important text or product details too close to the edges.
- Reusing a square Instagram-style image without checking how it performs on Pinterest.
