Pinterest board cover size in 2026
The recommended Pinterest board cover image is 600 × 600 px, an aspect ratio of 1:1. Cropped square from the chosen pin. Pinterest favours tall pins. A 2:3 ratio (1000 × 1500) shows fully in the grid; taller pins are cut off in the feed, and square or landscape pins occupy less space and get fewer saves. Text on the pin should be readable at the 236 px feed width.
How this tool fits your photo
Most photos are 4:3 or 3:2, not 1:1. Rather than stretching, this tool scales the photo until it covers the 600 × 600 frame and then crops equally from the edges that overflow. For a portrait photo going into a landscape slot, that means the top and bottom are trimmed; for a landscape photo going into a portrait slot, the sides. If the subject is off-centre, crop it roughly first in your phone's editor, then use this tool for the exact pixels. Images smaller than 600 × 600 are enlarged, which softens them slightly; start from the largest original you have.
