1000 × 1500Pinterest standard pin

The 2:3 vertical image of a standard pin, the ratio Pinterest recommends: taller pins may be cut off in the feed. Pins are saved and found again later, so the image has to explain itself without the ad text beside it.

Example. Noordkaap, Split Field layout. The dashed frame is the safe zone: text, logo and button stay inside it. Shown at 37% of its real size.

Design rules for 1000 × 1500

Portrait. Taller than it is wide, from 9:20 to 4:5. Read from top to bottom, like a poster.

What works

  • Use the height: the image in one half, the copy in the other, the button last in the reading order.
  • Give the image one tall subject rather than a crop of a wide scene.
  • Give the headline room for two or three lines rather than shrinking it to one.
  • Show the logo once, where the reading order begins or ends.
  • Design for a phone at arm’s length: large type and one message.
  • The platform shows your ad text and a headline around the image, so the image carries one idea.

Common mistakes

  • A headline shrunk to one line to leave the image more room.
  • An empty middle, because the design was made for a square.
  • A wide photo cropped down to a sliver of its subject.
  • Repeating the post text inside the image.
