Pinterest Image Resizer

Vertical wins on Pinterest, and the grid punishes anything wide. This pinterest image resizer is built around that fact: its main preset is the 1000x1500 standard pin at the 2:3 ratio Pinterest recommends, joined by a 1000x1000 square, a 1000x2100 long pin at the platform's 1:2.1 cap, a 1080x1920 Idea Pin, a 165x165 profile photo, and a 600x600 board cover. Upload a photo once and export every shape a board needs. Bloggers reformatting horizontal hero images into pins hit this constantly, since a wide photo at pinterest pin size means real cropping decisions. Cover mode makes those crops from the center; Contain keeps the full photo with white padding. Either way you resize image for pinterest without touching a design app.

How to use

01

Upload the image to convert into pins

Add your file through the drop zone, up to 20 MB. Horizontal photos are fine as input, but expect Cover mode to trim their sides heavily for the vertical presets.

02

Pick a crop strategy for vertical frames

Cover fills each tall Pinterest frame by cropping your image from the center. Contain fits the entire image inside and pads with white, which suits product shots.

03

Export standard, long, and Idea Pin sizes

Six cards show every preset with dimensions and notes, like the 1:2.1 cap on long pins. Download individual pins or the whole set with one button.

Why Pinterest Image Resizer

Common questions

How big is the recommended pinterest pin size?
1000x1500, a 2:3 aspect ratio, is Pinterest's own recommendation and this tool's Standard preset. Pins at that ratio display fully in the grid without truncation and scale cleanly on mobile.
Why do wide images perform poorly as pins?
The Pinterest grid assigns every pin the same column width, so a horizontal image renders short and small while vertical neighbors tower over it. Height is visibility. Converting a 1920x1080 hero into a 1000x1500 crop changes how often the pin gets seen at all.
How long can a long pin be before Pinterest cuts it off?
The feed truncates pins taller than a 1:2.1 ratio, which is why the Long preset stops at 1000x2100. Go taller and users see a cropped version with the bottom hidden until they open the pin.
Are Idea Pin dimensions included in the pinterest image resizer presets?
Yes, the Idea Pin preset is 1080x1920, the full screen 9:16 format. It's the same canvas as Stories elsewhere, so vertical content you made for other apps converts directly.
Does this tool resize image for pinterest board covers too?
The Board cover preset outputs 600x600. Covers display small and square on your profile, so pick an image with a clear central subject; fine text on a board cover is unreadable at display size.
Is 1000 pixels wide enough for a quality pin?
Yes. Pinterest columns render well under 1000 pixels wide even on large screens, so the Standard preset carries more resolution than the grid ever shows. Bigger uploads just spend bandwidth on pixels nobody sees.
Which mode works better for recipe and product pins?
Contain, in most cases. Recipe cards and product shots lose ingredients or packaging edges under Cover cropping, while white letterbox bars on Pinterest read as intentional, closer to a card design than a mistake.
