So upload Pins a minimum o 600 px wide (Pinterest recommends an image aspect ratio of 2:3 or 600 pixels by 900 pixels minimum). The ideal Pinterest image size is 1000 x 1500 px (again, an aspect ratio of 2:3).

For video Pins, they should be a minimum 4 seconds up to a maximum of 15 minutes. The video aspect ratio should be: 1:1 (square) or 2:3, 4:5 or 9:16 (vertical), or 16.9 (widescreen). The video file type should be .mp4, .mov or .m4v
