Pinterest Aspect Ratio Checker

Check whole batches of pin images for the right proportions and fix the ones that will not fit.

Fix to 2:3 (1000 × 1500)

Used by the solid color option.

Add images to check their proportions. For reference:

  • 2:3 1000 × 1500 Recommended for standard pins
  • 9:16 1080 × 1920 Long pins and video covers
  • 1:1 1000 × 1000 Works, but smaller in the feed
  • 1:2.1 1000 × 2100 Tallest before the feed cuts it off

    How to use the Pinterest Aspect Ratio Checker

    1. 1

      Add your images

      Drop in one or many pins, photos or exports, or paste a screenshot. Each image is listed with its size, ratio and a verdict.

    2. 2

      Read the verdicts

      A check means the image is 2:3. An info icon means it works but is not ideal, and a warning means it will be cut off or look small in the feed. Width under 1000 px is flagged too.

    3. 3

      Fix what needs fixing

      Choose how to fix: fit over a blurred background, fit on a solid color, or crop. Fix single images, or download them all at 2:3 as a ZIP.

    Pinterest is built around tall images. Its recommended ratio is 2:3, such as 1000 × 1500 pixels, and very tall images get cut off in the feed. Images exported from other platforms, cameras or design templates are often a little off, which can mean a cropped title or a pin that looks smaller than the ones around it. This checker reads the exact pixel size of every image you add and tells you how each one will fit.

    For any image that is not 2:3, the Fix button creates a 1000 × 1500 version: fitted over a blurred copy of the photo, fitted on a solid color, or cropped from the center. You can fix a whole batch and download it as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded.

    Pinterest aspect ratios explained

    Aspect ratio is width compared with height. A 2:3 image is one and a half times as tall as it is wide, so 1000 × 1500, 600 × 900 and 2000 × 3000 are all 2:3. Pinterest recommends 2:3 for standard pins because it fills a feed column nicely without dominating it. 9:16 (1080 × 1920) is common for long pins and video covers.

    Pinterest cuts off images taller than 1:2.1 in the feed, so anything taller than 1000 × 2100 loses its bottom part until someone opens it. Square and landscape images are allowed but take up less room, which makes them easier to scroll past. See the full pin size guide for every format.

    Crop or pad?

    Cropping keeps the image full bleed but removes the top and bottom or the sides, so check that nothing important is near the edges. Fitting keeps the whole image and fills the gaps, which is safer for infographics, screenshots and anything with text. The blurred background option usually looks more natural than a flat color.

    For more control over the crop, use the pin image resizer. If your images are also large files, run them through the image compressor.

    Pinterest Aspect Ratio Checker FAQ

    What aspect ratio should a Pinterest pin be?

    Pinterest recommends 2:3, for example 1000 × 1500 pixels. Long pins at 9:16 (1080 × 1920) are also common. Anything taller than 1:2.1 is cut off in the feed.

    How do I find the aspect ratio of an image?

    Divide the height by the width. A result of 1.5 means 2:3, 1.78 means 9:16 and 1 means square. This checker does the math for every image you add and shows the closest named ratio.

    Will Pinterest crop my pin?

    Pins taller than 1:2.1 are cut off at the bottom in the feed, and taller pins may be shown cropped in some views. A 2:3 pin is shown in full.

    Can I fix a square or landscape image for Pinterest?

    Yes. Click Fix to 2:3 to fit the image onto a 1000 × 1500 canvas with a blurred or solid background, or crop it from the center if the subject fits.

    Are my images uploaded?

    No. Sizes are read in your browser and fixed images are created on your device.
