Pinterest Collage Size Guide (Best Dimensions + Layouts)
Editorial review
This article is based on hands-on testing in the Collaigo editor and updated over time.
Pinterest is a vertical-first platform: tall images take more screen space, get more attention, and often earn more saves. If you’re making a collage for Pinterest (mood boards, recipes, before/after, product collections), this guide covers the safest dimensions and a simple workflow in Collaigo.
Recommended Pinterest Pin Size
A common recommendation is 1000 × 1500 (2:3). It’s tall enough without being overly long.
- Standard pin: 1000 × 1500 (2:3).
- Taller pin: 1000 × 2100 (avoid going too tall; very long pins can be less effective).
- High-res export: keep the 2:3 ratio but export higher resolution if needed.
Collage Layouts That Work on Pinterest
- 1 hero + 3 details: large image on top, smaller images below.
- 2 × 3 grid: clean and scannable for product or recipe collections.
- Vertical strip: step-by-step collage (process, recipe, transformation).
- Text header + grid: small title area at the top + photo grid below.
Step-by-Step: Make a Pinterest Collage
- Set canvas size to 1000 × 1500 (or a 2:3 preset if available).
- Pick a template that keeps the top area visually strong (Pinterest users scroll fast).
- Upload images and arrange your hero at the top.
- Use consistent spacing and a clean background.
- Add minimal text if needed (keep it readable on mobile).
- Export PNG (for text clarity) or JPG (for smaller size).
Pinterest Design Tips
- Prioritize the top third: that’s what users see first.
- Use high contrast: keep backgrounds clean so products/subjects pop.
- Keep text short: 3–6 words often performs better than long captions.
- Stay consistent: reuse a spacing + typography system for brand recognition.
