How to Resize an Image for Pinterest Pins in Chrome (1000×1500)

Pinterest's algorithm favors vertical pins. When you size images for the platform, you are competing with thousands of other pins for space in users' feeds — and the wrong dimensions get cropped or stretched.

The standard Pinterest pin size is 1000×1500 px (2:3 aspect ratio). Some creators use 1000×1200 px or 1000×1300 px, but the 1000×1500 format displays perfectly on both mobile and desktop feeds with no auto-cropping.

The Fastest Way: FrameForge

FrameForge is a free Chrome extension that resizes images without uploading them anywhere. Open any photo or screenshot, select the Pinterest preset, adjust the crop, and export — all in your browser in under a minute.

Install FrameForge. Add it to Chrome from the Web Store. It takes 10 seconds and needs no account.

Click the extension icon. Select "Open an image" and pick the photo or screenshot you want to resize.

Select the Pinterest preset. FrameForge includes a 1000×1500 px preset specifically for Pinterest pins. It locks the dimensions automatically.

Adjust the crop. Drag the crop box to frame the part of the image you want. Preview updates in real time.

Export. Click Download. The resized image goes to your Downloads folder as a PNG.

That is five steps with no login, no upload, and no waiting for a server to process your image. Everything happens in your browser.

Why This Matters for Pinterest Creators

Pinterest creators often need to produce pins in bulk — one image for your Pinterest board, one for your blog post, one for X, one for Instagram. Resizing each one to the wrong format costs time and looks unprofessional in the feed.

FrameForge's preset system means you pick the platform once and the dimensions lock in automatically. YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitch, and Pinterest all have built-in presets. No need to remember if it is 1000×1500 or 1000×1200 or something else.

If you need a different size — for example, 1000×1200 for square pins — you can set custom dimensions in FrameForge and save that as your own preset for next time.

FrameForge is free. Install the extension, resize forever. No account, no subscription, no upload.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal Pinterest pin size?

Pinterest recommends 1000×1500 px as the ideal vertical pin ratio (2:3). This format displays optimally on mobile and desktop feeds. You can also use 1000×1200 px (5:6 ratio) or 1000×1300 px — all perform well as long as the width is 1000 px.

Does FrameForge have a Pinterest preset?

Yes. FrameForge includes a preset for Pinterest pins at 1000×1500 px. Open the extension, select the Pinterest preset, adjust the crop, and export. No account, no upload, no third-party service.

Can I resize to other Pinterest dimensions?

Yes. If you need a different size, FrameForge allows custom dimensions. You can set any width and height you need — for example, 1000×1200 for square pins or 1200×900 for horizontal pins, though vertical format typically performs best on Pinterest.
