# Resize an Image for Pinterest

Pins that are tall, but not too tall, stand out in the Pinterest feed. Turn a landscape photo or a graphic into a 2:3 pin without it being cut off.

**Quick answer:** To resize an image for Pinterest, add it and keep Standard pin: you get a 1000 × 1500 JPG in the 2:3 shape Pinterest recommends. Crop to fill keeps the centre; Fit, blurred background shows the whole picture. A square 1000 × 1000 pin is one click away. Nothing is uploaded.

## How to use it

1. Choose the photo or graphic.
2. Keep Standard pin 2:3, or pick Square pin.
3. Keep Crop to fill, or choose Fit, blurred background for landscape photos.
4. Press Resize for Pinterest and upload the JPG as a pin.

## Why 2:3

Pinterest arranges pins in columns of equal width, so taller pins take more space and get noticed. Its guidance is a 2:3 aspect ratio, such as 1000 × 1500 pixels. Pins much taller than that may be cut off in the feed, and wide landscape images look small. That is why this page makes 2:3 by default.

## Landscape photos

Cropping a wide photo to 2:3 keeps only a narrow strip in the middle. If the subject fills the frame, that works; otherwise choose **Fit, blurred background** to place the whole photo on a blurred, tall version of itself, and use the space above and below for a title with [Add text to image](https://sharelargefilesfree.com/tools/add-text-to-image).

## Readable on phones

Most pins are seen on phones, at about a third of their real size. Use large, bold text with strong contrast and keep it away from the edges. Save text-heavy graphics as PNG under Save as for crisper letters.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best size for a Pinterest pin?

A 2:3 shape; 1000 × 1500 pixels is the size Pinterest recommends and what this page makes.

### Can I make a square pin?

Yes. Choose Square pin for 1000 × 1000 pixels. It works, but takes less space in the feed than a 2:3 pin.

### Why is my long pin cut off?

Pins much taller than 2:3 may be truncated in the feed. Resize them to 1000 × 1500 here.

### How do I avoid cropping my photo?

Choose Fit, blurred background so the whole photo is visible on a blurred background.
