Resize Images for Pinterest — 2:3 Pins Without Cropping
Upload a landscape, square, or portrait photo and get a tall 2:3 pin. AI grows the canvas around your image instead of cutting it down.
Built for bloggers, shop owners, and creators who turn existing photos into pins.
From Wide Photo to Tall Pin
The original scene stays in the middle. AI adds the sky and road a 2:3 pin needs.
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 pin, such as 1000 × 1500 px. Most photos are a different shape: blog headers are wide, phone photos are 4:3, and product shots are often square. Cropping them to 2:3 cuts away the edges, and padding them leaves flat bands of color. ExpandMyImage keeps the whole original and generates new background above and below it, or at the sides of a very tall image, until the canvas is exactly 2:3.
AI expansion, not stretching
The original image remains the source of truth. ExpandMyImage grows the canvas around it so the final frame fits a supported social ratio.

Pinterest Pin Size Guide
Pin shapes ExpandMyImage can produce today. Pinterest accepts other shapes too, but these are the ones the workspace supports.
| Format | Dimensions | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard pin | 1000 × 1500 px | 2:3 | Pinterest's recommended pin shape |
| Shorter pin | 1080 × 1350 px | 4:5 | Less vertical space than 2:3 |
| Tall pin | 1080 × 1920 px | 9:16 | Taller than 2:3, so the feed may cut it short |
ExpandMyImage matches the shape; the exact pixel size depends on your source image. Pinterest's guidance can change, so check its current specs before a campaign.

FAQ
Answers to common questions before you start expanding images.
What size should a Pinterest pin be?
Pinterest recommends a 2:3 aspect ratio, for example 1000 × 1500 px. Pins taller than 2:3 may be cut off in the feed, and wide images show up small. ExpandMyImage produces the 2:3 shape directly from any photo.
How do I resize an image for Pinterest without cropping?
Upload the image to ExpandMyImage and choose 2:3. Instead of cutting pixels away, the AI adds new background above and below the photo (or at the sides of a very tall one) until it is exactly 2:3. Download the result and upload it as a pin.
Will the result be exactly 1000 × 1500 px?
The result is exactly 2:3, but its pixel size depends on your original image, so it may be somewhat larger or smaller than 1000 × 1500. Because the shape already matches, Pinterest shows it without cropping. If you need an exact size, scale it in any image editor; nothing will be cut off.
Which images work best for a 2:3 pin?
Images with the main subject near the center and simple surroundings such as sky, walls, tables, or a plain backdrop. A wide image needs a lot of new background to reach 2:3, so if the first result is not right, try 3 candidates. Text and logos at the edge of the original are hard for AI to continue.
Can I resize images for Pinterest for free?
Yes. Eligible new users get free credits with no credit card required. When you need more, credits are available as one-time packs or a monthly subscription on the pricing page.
