Pinterest Story Pin Size — Idea Pin Dimensions
A Pinterest story pin — now called an Idea Pin — is 1080 x 1920 pixels, a 9:16 full-screen vertical frame. That is the same canvas as an Instagram Story or a TikTok video. Standard pins are a different shape entirely (1000 x 1500, 2:3), so use the table below to pick the right one before you design.

Each format drawn at the same width, so the heights compare directly. An idea pin is noticeably taller than a standard pin — a 2:3 design dropped into a 9:16 frame leaves empty bars at the top and bottom.

Idea Pin Dimensions (1080 x 1920)
Idea pins are the multi-page format Pinterest introduced as “Story Pins.” They fill the screen at 9:16 and support up to 20 pages of images or video in a single pin.
- Design at 1080 x 1920: anything wider gets pillarboxed or cropped to fit the vertical frame.
- Keep text away from the edges: Pinterest overlays the title, your profile, and action buttons over the top and bottom of the frame — leave roughly 10% clear on each end.
- Design page one as the cover: the first page is what appears in the feed, so it carries the whole pin’s click-through.
- Video works in the same frame: vertical video pins use the same 1080 x 1920 canvas, which is why one asset can serve Pinterest, Instagram Stories, and TikTok.
Regular Pin Size (1000 x 1500)
- 2:3 is the recommended ratio: 1000 x 1500 fills the feed column without being truncated.
- Don’t go taller than 2:3: longer pins get cut off in the feed and require a tap to see in full.
- Max file size is 20MB: export as a compressed JPG or PNG well under that ceiling.
- Add readable text overlay: the feed is a dense grid, so a clear headline and high contrast do more work than a subtle photo.
Board Cover & Profile Photo
- Board cover — 600 x 600: square, displayed as a small thumbnail on your profile. Use one clear image or a simple label rather than a busy collage.
- Profile photo — 165 x 165: cropped to a circle and rendered tiny. A simple logo or a tightly-framed headshot reads far better than a full scene.
- Match your board covers: a consistent style across covers makes a profile look curated the moment someone lands on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Pinterest story pin?
A Pinterest story pin — now called an Idea Pin — is 1080x1920 pixels, a 9:16 full-screen vertical frame. It is the same canvas size as an Instagram Story or a TikTok video, so one vertical asset can be reused across all three.
Are story pins and idea pins the same thing?
Yes. Pinterest launched the multi-page vertical format as Story Pins and later renamed it Idea Pins. The dimensions did not change: 1080x1920 pixels at a 9:16 aspect ratio, with up to 20 pages per pin.
What is the Pinterest video pin size?
Vertical video pins use 1080x1920 pixels (9:16). Pinterest also supports 2:3 and 1:1 video, but 9:16 fills the screen on mobile, where most of Pinterest is viewed.
Can I use a 1000x1500 pin as an idea pin?
You can upload it, but a 2:3 image placed in the 9:16 idea pin frame leaves empty bars at the top and bottom. Design at 1080x1920 for idea pins and keep 1000x1500 for standard feed pins.
What is the Pinterest board cover size?
Pinterest board covers are 600x600 pixels (square). They display as small thumbnails on your profile, so use a clear, simple image that represents the board content.
