Scaling a pin to a standard or custom aspect ratio

At a 1000px source width and Pinterest's common 2:3 idea-pin ratio, the target size is 1000 x 1500 pixels -- height calculated directly from width and the ratio (1000 x 3/2 = 1500).

Pinterest's 2:3 vertical ratio is taller relative to its width than most other social platforms' standard post formats, reflecting how Pinterest's feed itself displays pins in a tall masonry-style grid where taller pins get more visual real estate and scroll-stopping presence.

Switching to the custom ratio option lets you scale to any width-to-height relationship (not just 2:3, 1:1, or 9:16) by entering your own ratio numbers, useful for matching a specific brand template or repurposing an image at a non-standard aspect ratio.

Standard sizes versus what actually renders well

Standard idea pin is often 1000x1500. Confirm current creative specs. Pinterest's recommended and maximum pin dimensions have changed over time, and idea pins, standard image pins, and video pins can each have somewhat different optimal specs -- confirm the current guidance on Pinterest's business/creator resources before finalizing a large batch of creative.

Extremely tall pins beyond the standard 2:3 ratio may get cropped or compressed differently depending on where they display (search results, home feed, board view) -- 2:3 remains the safest default specifically because it's well-supported across all of Pinterest's display surfaces.

Width must be greater than zero for the height to compute, since height is always derived proportionally from the width you enter.

Sizing images for other platforms too

If the same source image needs to be resized for several other platforms at once, the Social Media Image Size Cheatsheet lists current canvas sizes across platforms.

For Pinterest ad creative specifically, which can have different size guidance than organic pins, cross-check the Pinterest Ads Cost Estimator's related placement notes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is the 1500px target height calculated for a 2:3 ratio?

Height = width x (ratio height / ratio width) = 1000 x (3 / 2) = 1500 pixels. The same formula applies to the 1:1, 9:16, and custom ratio options, just with different ratio values.

Why is 2:3 considered the standard Pinterest ratio?

Standard idea pin is often 1000x1500. Confirm current creative specs. Pinterest's vertical, masonry-style feed favors taller pins, and 2:3 has been a commonly recommended ratio that displays reliably across search, home feed, and board views without unexpected cropping.

What does the custom ratio option do?

It lets you scale the source width to any width-to-height relationship you specify, rather than being limited to Pinterest's standard 2:3, 1:1, or 9:16 presets -- useful for matching a specific template or non-standard creative format.

Are Pinterest's dimension specs the same for organic pins and paid ads?

Not necessarily. Ad creative can have different or additional size recommendations depending on the ad format. Check Pinterest's current business/ads documentation if you're preparing paid creative rather than an organic pin.

What happens if the source width is 0 or blank?

The calculator returns a validation error, since target height is calculated proportionally from the source width -- there's no meaningful height to compute without a valid width.
