Pinterest image size and pin specs

The standard Pinterest pin is a vertical image at a 2:3 ratio, with 1000 by 1500 pixels as the commonly recommended size. Titles are limited to 100 characters, and only the start of a title or description is visible in the feed, so lead with your keyword.

Quick reference

Why vertical images

Pinterest is browsed on tall mobile screens. Pins that fall outside the common 2:3 ratio can be cropped or take up less space in the feed, so a vertical image gives you the most room.

Write for the visible part

• Titles: put the main keyword first, then the benefit. Keep the whole title under 100 characters.
• Descriptions: make the first sentence carry the keyword and the point. Put hashtags last, if you use them.
• Alt text: describe what is in the image. Do not stuff keywords.

In GoPinKaro

GoPinKaro accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF files up to 20 MB, trims titles to 100 characters, and shows a character counter as you type. Images are checked when you upload them.

Pre-export checklist

1. The image is vertical, 1000 x 1500 pixels or the same 2:3 ratio.
2. Text is large enough to read on a phone and sits away from the edges.
3. The file is JPG, PNG or WEBP and well under the size limit.
4. The title sits near the top and the main subject is clear at a small size.
5. You have a destination link and a one-sentence alt text ready.

Design tips that hold up in the feed

• One idea per pin. A clear headline and one image beat a crowded collage.
• High contrast text. Test it at thumbnail size.
• Consistent branding. A small logo or colour palette helps pins look like yours without dominating them.
• Variety across a page. Make several different pins for the same page.

Exporting in batches

If you design many pins at once, export them in one batch with consistent names such as kitchen-storage-1.jpg. Upload the folder to the Bulk schedule page and GoPinKaro turns each file name into a first-draft title that you can edit.
