Pinterest Image Resizer

Resize a photo to Pinterest's 1000 × 1500 standard Pin size — free, instant, entirely on your device.

How to resize an image for Pinterest

Drop a photo into the box above and it's automatically center-cropped to a 2:3 vertical ratio and scaled to 1000 × 1500 pixels — Pinterest's recommended Pin size — then offered for download.

For example, a square product photo will gain extra height when cropped to this taller ratio; if the image doesn't have enough vertical content, consider choosing a source photo with more headroom before resizing for the cleanest result.

Why Pinterest favors tall images

Pinterest's grid layout gives taller Pins more visual space and prominence than square or landscape ones, which is why the platform recommends a 2:3 ratio specifically. Sizing to 1000×1500 up front means your Pin displays at full quality without Pinterest needing to crop or pad it after upload.

Why tall Pins perform better

Pinterest's grid is built around vertical images — a tall Pin simply takes up more visible space as people scroll, which is a big part of why taller-format images consistently get more engagement on the platform than square or landscape ones. Resizing your image to Pinterest's preferred vertical ratio before uploading is one of the simplest changes that tends to improve how a Pin performs.

If your source image is landscape or square, this tool adds the right proportions rather than stretching the original out of shape — worth checking the preview afterward to make sure any text overlay in your graphic still reads clearly at the new dimensions.

Leaving room for text overlays

Because Pins are tall, there's naturally more vertical space to work with than a square or landscape image gives you — many high-performing Pins use that extra height for a text overlay near the top or bottom rather than relying on the photo alone to communicate what the Pin is about. Worth checking your resized result to make sure any existing text still reads clearly at the new proportions.

Resizing happens locally in your browser through the Canvas API, so you can compare a few different height options for the same image before deciding which one to actually pin.
