Pinterest supports several Pin formats. Its official Pin guidance publishes format-specific safe zones, while its business guidance recommends a 2:3 ratio for image and video Pins between 15 and 60 seconds. The 1000×1500 canvas below is a practical 2:3 export target, not a universal requirement for every Pin.
Use 1000×1500 px when you want a clean 2:3 image Pin. Keep important text and visual elements away from the edges, because Pinterest publishes safe-zone guidance and the final presentation can vary by device. If you are preparing a business profile cover instead, use the separate Pinterest profile cover size guide.

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.

FAQ
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.
