💡 For best results, start with an image at least as wide as the target size. Upscaling small images can introduce blur.

Pinterest square pin size: the 2026 spec
This guide covers the official spec, format requirements, and the practical workflow imgsize.cc uses to get it right in your browser.
Why these dimensions
Pinterest's square pin format renders at 1:1 in the home feed. The 1000×1000 pixel upload covers retina screens and gives Pinterest's algorithm enough pixels to push to the top of the feed. Square pins get 12% more repins than portrait pins of the same quality, per Pinterest's 2025 Creator Report.
Crop the central content of your image to the central 80% of the frame. Pinterest Square Pin may crop or overlay UI elements near the edges, so critical content should stay well within the safe zone.
Common mistakes
Text overlay too small — illegible at thumbnail size
Off-center product — looks weird at thumbnail crop
Low contrast — gets lost in the white feed
Frequently asked questions
Are square or portrait pins better?
Square pins perform slightly better for product photos. Use portrait (2:3) pins for infographics and lifestyle shots.
Does Pinterest auto-resize uploads?
Yes, but the algorithm down-ranks resized images. Upload at the recommended size for best reach.
