Pinterest image sizes
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio, such as 1000 × 1500 pixels, for standard pins. That vertical shape fills more of the feed on phones, where most people browse, so 2:3 pins usually get more attention than square ones. Taller pins are truncated in the feed, so keep anything important in the top two thirds. Idea and video pins use the full-screen 9:16 format at 1080 × 1920.
Use JPG for photos and PNG for graphics with text, keep files under 20 MB, and add clear, readable text overlays: many pins are seen at thumbnail size on a phone.
