Pinterest Pin Size Guide: Why 900×1350 Still Wins in 2026
Published: 2026-09-18
Pinterest is still the most underrated traffic source for content creators. Unlike Instagram (where posts disappear in 48 hours), Pinterest pins keep driving traffic for months or years. But the format matters: vertical pins in the 2:3 ratio get 2-3x more saves than square or horizontal images.
The Optimal Pin Size
Pinterest officially recommends 1000×1500 pixels (2:3 ratio). Our tool uses 900×1350, which is the same ratio and loads faster.
What Makes a Pin Clickable?
Top-performing pins share three traits:
- Bold, readable text overlay — users should know what they're clicking before they see the image
- High contrast — text on a dark overlay or gradient background
- Vertical composition — fills the mobile screen
Why Not Use Canva?
Canva is powerful but heavy: you need an account, you hit a daily limit on free exports, and your images are stored on their servers. Our Pinterest Pin Maker lets you drop an image, type a title, pick a color, and download — all in 10 seconds, no account needed.
