Why Pinterest sizes matter
Pinterest is a visual discovery feed built for tall images, and it favors a 2:3 ratio. Pins that are too short or too wide get cropped or simply take up less space, which lowers their chance of being saved and re-shared. Sizing Pins correctly is one of the simplest ways to improve reach on the platform.

Common mistakes to avoid
