Best Practices for Pinterest

Use 2:3 aspect ratio (1000×1500 pixels) — vertical pins significantly outperform square or horizontal pins on Pinterest.

Include text overlay on your pin images — pins with descriptive text get more saves and clicks.

Use high-quality, bright images — Pinterest is a visual discovery platform, and professional-looking pins perform better.

Add your logo or website URL to pin images — pins can get saved and re-saved without attribution otherwise.

Create multiple pins for the same content — different images and text variations test what resonates with your audience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best pin size for Pinterest?

1000×1500 pixels at a 2:3 aspect ratio is the optimal size for Pinterest pins. Vertical pins take up more space in the feed and consistently outperform square or horizontal pins in engagement and saves.

How long should a Pinterest pin be?

While 1000×1500 (2:3 ratio) is standard, taller pins (up to 1000×2100 pixels) can work well for infographics and recipe cards. However, very tall pins may get truncated in feeds. Stick to 2:3 ratio for best visibility.

Should I use text on my Pinterest pins?

Yes. Pins with descriptive text overlays typically receive more saves and clicks. Keep text readable at small sizes, use high-contrast colors, and include relevant keywords. Avoid covering more than 20% of the image with text.
