The size

2:3 at 1000×1500 is the standard pin

Pinterest favours tall pins, and the recommended shape is 2:3 — usually 1000×1500. Taller pins take up more vertical space in the feed and tend to perform better, while square or wide images get cropped or look small. This cropper locks the box to 2:3; type 1000 as the width and the height becomes 1500 automatically. Cropping it yourself keeps your key visual and any text exactly where you want them.

Tall and readable

Design a pin that stops the scroll

Pins are viewed on phones, so keep the focal image large, place text in the upper or central area, and avoid important detail at the very top and bottom where it can be clipped. Export PNG for crisp text overlays or JPG for photo-heavy pins. Crop from the highest-resolution source you have so the tall pin stays sharp.

Pin formats

Standard, long and square

Pinterest supports a few pin shapes, but the 2:3 standard pin (1000×1500) is the recommended default and shows best in the feed. Longer pins are allowed and can hold more information, but very tall images may be truncated in some views, so 2:3 is the safe choice. Square pins are accepted but take up less vertical space and tend to get less attention. Idea pins and video pins use full-screen vertical shapes closer to 9:16. For a still graphic or photo pin, lock 2:3 here, keep your subject and any title within the frame, and you will avoid the awkward auto-cropping that happens with the wrong ratio.

Text overlays & discovery

Make pins easy to find and tap

Pinterest is a visual search engine, so a pin works hardest when it is both eye-catching and descriptive. Add a clear, readable text overlay near the top or center, keep your branding subtle but present, and use bright, high-contrast imagery that stands out in a busy grid. Leave a little margin at the top and bottom where the crop can be tight. Export PNG for crisp text overlays or JPG for photo-led pins, and crop from a large source so the tall pin stays sharp. For other vertical formats, the 9:16 TikTok cropper and 3:4 Xiaohongshu cropper cover those shapes, and crop by size sets any exact pixels.

Free & private

Free, no watermark, nothing uploaded

The Pinterest Pin Cropper costs nothing, adds no watermark and asks for no login. Because it works entirely on the HTML canvas in your browser, your images never leave your device, so it is both quick and genuinely private, and it continues to function offline after the first load. It works identically across Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, supports both mouse and touch dragging, and lets you process one image after another without a page refresh. Download as PNG or WebP to retain transparency, or choose JPG for the most compact photo file. The crop frame is locked to the right shape, so every result is consistent without manual measuring.
