Resize an image for a Pinterest pin

Pinterest is built around tall pins: the recommended 2:3 ratio at 1000 × 1500 pixels. Wider images get less feed real estate; much taller ones risk truncation.

This page opens the resizer preset to 1000 × 1500. Cover mode crops your image to the tall format; contain letterboxes it if the full frame must survive.

How it works

  1. Select an image to see its current dimensions.

  2. Enter a width/height or percentage, or pick a platform preset (each shows its exact pixels).

  3. Choose fit behaviour: contain, cover (center-crop), or stretch.

  4. Preview the resulting dimensions, then export.

What the tool does

How the result is verified

The exported image is re-decoded and its pixel dimensions are compared to your requested dimensions before download is offered.

Frequently asked questions

Why 2:3 specifically?

Pinterest's grid allocates width equally, so height is your variable — 2:3 maximizes presence without hitting the truncation threshold applied to extreme ratios.

Can I use a different tall ratio?

Yes — the preset is a starting point. Anything between 2:3 and 1:2 generally displays fully; edit the height field to taste.
