Pinterest Image Dimensions & Formats: The Exact Specs You Need
Pinterest favors vertical images with a 2:3 aspect ratio (e.g., 1000x1500px). For Pin previews, use 600x900px minimum, while infographics perform best at 1080x1920px. AI tools like FluxNote's Image Studio auto-resize to Pinterest-optimized formats:
- Standard Pins: 1000x1500px (max file size: 10MB)
- Carousel Pins: 1000x1500px (up to 5 images)
- Infographics: 1080x1920px (PNG for transparency)
- Story Pins: 1080x1920px (9:16 ratio)
Pro Tip
Pinterest compresses images over 10MB. FluxNote exports lossless PNGs at 8MB avg, ideal for sharp text and gradients.
