How we calculate this
Methodology and source handling
We start with the platform placement, confirm the recommended pixel canvas and aspect ratio from the listed sources, then document safe-area and export guidance for the template.
Quick answer
Copy-ready answer
Use 1000 × 1500 px for a standard Pinterest Pin. This is a 2:3 aspect ratio. Pinterest warns that Pins taller than 2:3 may get cut off in feeds, so keep the design vertical but not excessively long.
Safe area
Design inside the crop-safe area
Use this guide to keep text, logos, faces, products, and calls to action away from crop-risk edges.

Formula
How to calculate this size
Export at the recommended pixel canvas before upload or handoff.
Reduce width and height by their greatest common divisor.
Use fit for no crop, fill or center crop for exact coverage, or pad when borders are acceptable.
Export checklist
Before you upload
Create the artboard at the template dimensions before placing content.
Keep critical details inside the safe zone and treat the outer edge as crop or bleed risk.
Resize a finished image locally when the destination needs a PNG, JPG, or WebP export.
Common mistakes
Avoid these template setup mistakes
Keep the most important content inside the guide area so responsive crops, bleed trimming, or platform overlays do not hide it.
Scaling the template into a different shape can stretch artwork or crop text; compare sizes before adapting.
Keep the editable SVG or source layout, export PNG/JPG for upload, and use PDF when you need a handoff or print guide.

Template
Template zones
| Zone | Use |
|---|---|
| Full canvas | Product photo, background, recipe image, tutorial layout |

| Bottom caution zone | Avoid tiny text and important details too close to the bottom |
Guidance
Design guidance
Pinterest Pins need to communicate quickly. Use one primary idea per Pin. If the Pin is for a blog post, include the topic and a visual cue. If it is for a product, show the product clearly. If it is a tutorial, make the steps readable without overcrowding the canvas.
Template
Safe-area, bleed, and crop notes
Use the downloadable guide as the full canvas. Keep critical content inside the safe area, extend backgrounds to bleed or crop-risk edges when needed, and export only after checking the destination page.
