Pinterest recommends 2:3 for standard Pins, or 1000 x 1500 px; taller Pins may get cut off. Full-screen Idea Pins use 1080 x 1920 px (9:16). Video Pins run 4 seconds to 15 minutes, and Pinterest suggests 6 to 15 seconds for ads.
Every row links to the full spec below, with its source. "Not published" means Pinterest doesn't state it, so we don't either. Download all 6 specs as CSV .
Pins, Idea Pins and carousels Standard Pin (image) Recommended 1000 x 1500 px · 2:3
Aspect ratio 2:3 File types PNG, JPEG Max file size 20 MB Title 100 characters (first 40 show in feeds) Description 800 characters Up to 32 MB when uploading in the app. The same specs apply when a standard Pin runs as an ad.
Kalam's advice Design at 2:3 and put the product and headline in the top two thirds. Pinterest is a search engine as much as a feed, so write the title the way people search.
