Pin creatives resize locally before you publish to Pinterest
Product pins often preview unreleased bundles and seasonal kits. Crop to 1000×1500 (2:3) at JPEG quality 82, with a 10 MB check, inside your browser — then publish when the board strategy is ready.
No pin draft is stored with us; the file never uploads to VeloTools, so mood-board experiments stay local until you hit publish.
Landscape hero shots that collapse in the 2:3 pin grid
Pinterest’s grid is unforgiving to wide website heroes. A 16:9 banner becomes a tiny strip; shoppers never see the product. Square Instagram exports also waste vertical real estate that pins use to stop the scroll on mobile boards crowded with competing lifestyle shots.
Locking 1000×1500 enforces the classic 2:3 pin proportion. Quality 82 keeps lifestyle detail for zoom-ins while respecting a 10 MB practical ceiling shared with several marketplace pages — but the geometry here is unique to Pinterest discovery.
Feed squares still matter elsewhere: Instagram, Facebook. Catalog portrait twins on RU markets: Ozon / Wildberries (3:4, not 2:3).
Crop a 1000×1500 Pinterest product pin
- Drop the lifestyle or product frame — 2:3 and 1000×1500 are locked for standard pins.
- Compose with the product in the upper two-thirds so mobile titles do not hide it, then process at quality 82.
- Download under 10 MB and publish; deep-link the pin to your Shopify or Merchant landing page.

JPEG 82 for Pinterest pins inside 10 MB
Quality 82 matches the Etsy-like craft bias: textured goods and styled tables need honesty more than maximum crunch. The 1000×1500 box is smaller in megapixels than Amazon’s square, so files rarely threaten 10 MB unless you start from a huge PNG collage.
Idea Pins and multi-page story formats need different art direction — do not force every surface through this standard pin preset. Store landers: Shopify. Shopping ads: Google Merchant.
Idea Pins vs standard pins and catalog traffic from boards
Standard product pins still convert when the vertical crop tells a single clear story. Overlay sparse typography if needed, but leave breathing room; Pinterest UI chrome competes for edges and can hide thin headlines near the bottom third.
Track outbound clicks to ensure the landing image language matches the pin. A pin that shows a blue variant should not land on a red PDP hero — fix merchandising, not just pixels, or trust drops before checkout.
Derive channel sets from one shoot: Pinterest 2:3, Instagram 1:1, Amazon 1:1 2000, TikTok Shop 800. Compress helpers: Image Compress. Lookbook PDFs: PDF tools.
Refresh seasonal pins from masters; repeatedly downloading and re-uploading the same JPEG stacks artifacts that show up as muddy pastels on kitchenware and textiles. Rebuild the 2:3 crop when the SKU packaging changes.
Pinterest product pin sizing questions
What is the best image size for a Pinterest product pin?
A 1000×1500 pixel image at a 2:3 ratio is the classic standard-pin target. This page locks that size at quality 82.
Will VeloTools upload my pin drafts?
No. Resizing stays in your browser. Pinterest only receives the file when you publish it.
Can I use a 1080 Instagram square as a pin?
It will look short in the grid. Recrop to 2:3 so the pin owns vertical space.
How is 2:3 different from Ozon’s 3:4?
Both are portraits, but the ratios differ. Use the Wildberries/Ozon pages for those cabinets and this page for Pinterest.
Should Idea Pins use this preset too?
Not always. Idea Pins are multi-page and often more video-led. Use this export for standard product pins first.
