How This Pin Size Checker Works
Aspect Ratio = Width ÷ Height | Tolerance = ±10% from recommended dimensions | Minimum Width ≥ 600px for qualityValidation Methodology
For example, a Standard Pin has a recommended size of 1000×1500px with a 2:3 aspect ratio (0.667). If your image is 900×1350px, the aspect ratio is also 0.667 (perfect match), and both dimensions are within 10% of the recommended values — so this would pass with a minor note to consider upscaling for best quality.
Assumptions: Specifications are based on Pinterest's widely published creator guidelines. Pinterest may update recommended sizes; the tool reflects the most commonly referenced values as of 2024.
Practical Examples

Input: Standard Pin, 1000 × 1500px

Food Blogger — Recipe Infographic

Use Case: A digital marketing agency in New York creating multi-slide Idea Pins for a client's brand awareness campaign.
Travel Photographer — Landscape Image

Result: ❌ Fails — 16:9 ratio vs required 2:3. Width exceeds recommended. Height is 28% below minimum 1500px
Use Case: A photographer in Kerala trying to share landscape photos — the tool recommends cropping to portrait orientation or using a different platform format.
What Is the Pinterest Pin Size Checker?
The Pinterest Pin Size Checker is a free browser-based tool that validates your image dimensions against Pinterest's recommended specifications for different Pin formats. It helps content creators, marketers, bloggers, and e-commerce sellers ensure their visual content is optimized before uploading to Pinterest.
Whether you run a small business in India selling on platforms like Meesho or Amazon, or you manage social media for an international brand, correctly sized Pins directly impact your visibility in the Pinterest feed. Pins with non-standard dimensions get auto-cropped by Pinterest's algorithm, often cutting off important text overlays, product details, or call-to-action elements.
This tool is especially valuable for Pinterest marketers who create content in batches — checking each image before upload saves time and prevents the frustrating cycle of uploading, seeing poor cropping, deleting, resizing, and re-uploading.
Sources & Methodology
Dimension recommendations in this tool are based on Pinterest's widely published creator guidelines and best practices referenced across Pinterest's business help center documentation. The 2:3 aspect ratio for Standard Pins, 9:16 for Idea/Story Pins, and minimum 600px width thresholds are industry-standard values consistently cited in Pinterest marketing resources. As Pinterest periodically updates their platform, we recommend cross-referencing with Pinterest's official creator resources for the most current specifications.
Important Considerations
Pinterest occasionally adjusts recommended dimensions and supported formats. While the core aspect ratios (2:3 and 9:16) have remained stable for several years, specific pixel recommendations may evolve. This tool provides guidance based on established best practices but cannot guarantee future Pinterest platform changes. For business-critical campaigns, verify current specs directly on Pinterest's business platform before large-scale content production.

Absolutely. All image analysis happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No images or data are uploaded to any server. Your files never leave your device.
The checker uses Pinterest's officially recommended dimensions and aspect ratios. It accurately detects image dimensions and validates them against current Pinterest specifications. However, Pinterest may update their guidelines, so always cross-check with Pinterest's official creator resources for the most current specs.
The tool supports five Pin types: Standard Pins (1000×1500px recommended, 2:3 ratio), Idea Pins (1080×1920px, 9:16 ratio), Video Pins (1000×1500px minimum, 2:3 ratio), Story Pins (1080×1920px, 9:16 ratio), and Infographic Pins (1000×3000px, 1:3 ratio for long-form content).
You can upload JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG image files. The tool reads the actual pixel dimensions of the uploaded file and checks them against the selected Pin type requirements.
The ideal aspect ratio for Standard Pins is 2:3 (e.g., 1000×1500px). For Idea Pins and Story Pins, the recommended ratio is 9:16 (e.g., 1080×1920px). Infographic Pins use a 1:3 ratio. Pinterest clips images that deviate significantly from these ratios in the feed.
Yes. After checking one Pin type, simply select a different type from the dropdown and click Check Pin Size again. Your entered dimensions or uploaded image dimensions remain, so you can quickly compare compatibility across all Pin types.
The tool flags images below minimum dimensions with specific warnings. Pinterest recommends a minimum width of 600px for quality display. Images smaller than recommended sizes may appear blurry or pixelated on high-resolution screens, reducing engagement.
No, this tool only checks and validates dimensions. It does not modify your images. For resizing, you can use a dedicated image resizer tool after identifying the correct dimensions with this checker.
Correctly sized Pins take up more visual space in the Pinterest feed, leading to higher click-through rates and engagement. Pins with non-standard dimensions get cropped or compressed by Pinterest's algorithm, which can cut off important text or visuals and reduce their effectiveness.
