Pinterest pins, jackets and posters
2:3 is portrait 3:2: posters, many book pages and Pinterest’s 2:3 pin. 1000×1500 and 1080×1620 sit on this ratio.
Pinterest is why 1000×1500 is on the platform page. Idea Pins and video placements can differ; we do not invent those pixels. A 1080×1620 export is a convenient 2:3 social master that still downscales cleanly. The 2:3 aspect ratio is the still, not the vertical-video frame.
Pinterest’s creative best-practices article is why 1000×1500 appears on the platform page. That pair is 2:3. Idea Pins and video placements can differ; we do not invent those pixels without a cited help row.
Book jackets and many poster frames sit near 2:3. A 1080×1620 social export is a convenient 2:3 master that still downscales cleanly.
A 35mm frame stood up
Rotate a 35 mm frame and you have 2:3. Print labs still sell 4×6 inch paper, which is 2:3 in portrait. This article does not repeat the landscape 3:2 camera history word for word.
If you rotate a 3:2 camera file and the numbers become 4000×6000, you are on this page. The 3:2 article keeps the landscape sensor story so the two URLs do not share body paragraphs.
How much of a 16:9 still survives
From 1920×1080, a 2:3 trim is 720×1080 and a padded canvas is 1920×2880. You give up a lot of the sides, or you add large bars. If the file is already a rotated camera original at 4000×6000, you are on this shape and you do not need that conversion.
2:3 is taller than 4:5 and shorter than 9:16. From a 16:9 still, you will crop a lot of the sides or add large pads.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a standard Pinterest pin?
1000×1500 is the cited 2:3 still. Confirm the live creative guide before a campaign; video placements are not the same row.
Is 1080×1620 the same shape?
Yes. Both simplify to 2:3. 1080×1620 is a handy master when you also need to scale down to 1000×1500.
How is this different from a Story?
Stories and TikTok want 9:16, which is taller. A 2:3 pin will not fill a phone video player without a further crop or bars. The 2:3 aspect ratio is for stills and posters.
I rotated a 3:2 RAW and got 4000×6000. Which page is that?
This one. The landscape sensor story stays on 3:2 so the two URLs do not share a body.
