FAQs
What happens if I use the wrong Pinterest image size?
The platform auto-crops or compresses the image, often cutting off important content or reducing quality.
Should I resize before uploading?
Yes — pre-sizing to the exact dimensions prevents the platform from applying additional compression.
What image format is best?
JPG at 80-90% quality for photos. PNG for graphics with text. WebP for websites.
