Pinterest square pin size in 2026
The recommended Pinterest square pin image is 1000 × 1000 px, an aspect ratio of 1:1. Acceptable but shows smaller than 2:3 pins. 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 1000 × 1000 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 1000 × 1000 are enlarged, which softens them slightly; start from the largest original you have.
