Question 1

Pinterest pin dimensions?

Accepted Answer

Standard: 1000x1500 pixels (2:3 ratio). Optimal for vertical scroll. Square (1:1) and other ratios accepted but perform less.

Question 2

Why 2:3 ratio?

Accepted Answer

Pinterest mobile-first. Vertical pins take more screen space. Higher visibility = more clicks. Standard format performs best.

Question 3

Maximum pin size?

Accepted Answer

20MB max file size. 2000x3000 pixels max recommended. Larger files don't improve quality but slow loading.

Question 4

Pin file format?

Accepted Answer

JPG: smaller files, faster load. PNG: better for graphics with text. Both supported.

Question 5

Long pins (Story Pins)?

Accepted Answer

1080x1920 (9:16) for Story Pins/Idea Pins. Different format from regular pins. Native to Pinterest mobile.

Question 6

Add text on pins?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Pins with text get 40% more saves. Bold readable fonts, large size, high contrast, clear value prop.

Question 7

Pin design tips?

Accepted Answer

Vertical orientation, bright colors, minimal text, branded fonts/colors, recognizable from thumbnail, clear focal point.

Question 8

Multiple pins per blog post?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Create 3-5 unique pin designs per blog post. A/B test which performs best. Different angles attract different users.

Question 9

Reuse old pins?

Accepted Answer

Square pins (less vertical space), horizontal pins (poor mobile experience), low resolution (blurry), no text overlay (lower saves).
