Why X (Twitter) images need resizing for Pinterest
Images posted on X are usually wide 16:9 graphics, screenshots or square photos. Wide images in particular look small and easy to miss on Pinterest, where every other image is tall. Resizing an X image for Pinterest gives it the height it needs to be noticed.
For 16:9 post images, blur fill keeps the full picture and adds a soft background above and below. For headers, use color fill and treat them as a strip. Square images can be cropped or filled. Screenshots of posts are often best with color fill on white or black, which looks clean and readable.
Tips for converting X (Twitter) images
Screenshots need a clean frame
For a screenshot of a post, use color fill with white or black. It looks deliberate and keeps every word.
16:9 images: fill, do not crop
Cropping 16:9 to 2:3 removes most of the width. Blur fill keeps the full image visible.
Headers are banners
X headers are three times wider than tall. Use them as a strip inside a pin with color fill.
