Optimal formats for Pinterest

Static pins and ads
To stand out in the feed, use the 2:3 format (1000×1500 px).
Tip: Don’t forget to add your logo to every pin.

Video pins and ads (organic and paid format)
Make sure your videos are short and clear. They should not exceed 1 minute. Use format 1:1 (1000x1000px) or 9:16 (1080x1920px).
Tip: Use text overlays for your message – many people watch without sound, so make sure it’s visible.

Video ads (paid format only)
This ad covers the full width of the mobile screen and is available only as a paid format. The format should be either square 1:1 (1000x1000px) or widescreen 16:9 (1920x1080px).
Tip: Pinterest allows uploads up to 2GB. Use the opportunity for high resolution.

Carousel pins and ads
This format contains several images that users can swipe through – just like on Facebook or Instagram. Use 1:1 (1000x1000px) or 2:3 (1000x1500px) formats.
Tip: Highlight product features, show more products, or tell a visual story with the extra images.
