Pinterest Pin Dimensions

Pinterest Carousel Pins Size — Exact Dimensions & Design Guide

Carousel pins let you upload 2-5 images to a single pin that viewers swipe through. They're underused in 2026, which makes them a small edge — accounts that use carousels strategically see higher engagement per pin than single-image alternatives.

Design Tips for Carousel Pins

Square format for best rendering

Carousel pins use 1:1 (square) aspect ratio. Design each frame to work independently — pinners may swipe, but they may also stop at frame 1.

Make frame 1 a hook, not an intro

Frame 1 has to work as a standalone pin. Treat it like your strongest image, then use subsequent frames to deepen the story.

Consistent visual style across frames

Same color palette, fonts, and layout grid on every frame. Inconsistent frames feel disjointed and reduce swipe-through.

Number or label each frame

Small text like '1 of 5' in the corner tells pinners how many frames there are, which encourages them to keep swiping.

Layout Suggestions

  • 15-frame product showcase: hero shot, detail, use case, benefits, CTA.
  • 23-frame story: problem, solution, result.
  • 32-frame before/after with the reveal on swipe.
