Fixing her pin dimensions stopped the feed from cropping her

Fixing her pin dimensions stopped the feed from cropping her

A fashion blogger's pins kept getting visually chopped — her outfit shots were square, 1:1, and the key detail sat at the bottom where the feed cut it off. Her saves lagged at about 70 a month despite strong photos.

We rebuilt her template to the 2:3 ratio Pinterest is designed around — 1000 by 1500 pixels — and placed the focal point in the upper two-thirds, safe from cropping.

The taller format simply takes up more screen real estate as someone scrolls, and nothing important got cut anymore. Over six weeks her saves rose to about 120 a month on the same photo library, just reframed to the format the feed rewards.

Takeaway: Pinterest is built for the 2:3 vertical pin. Square or wrong-ratio images get less screen space and risk cropping your whole point off the bottom.
