The outline shows the crop or fitted picture. Shaded bands are rough layout guides for vertical output, not official safe-zone dimensions. Actual controls vary by device, captions and player state; check the upload preview.
Do the crop on your phone
Cropzen crops, trims and resizes video to these ratios on Android. No watermark or sign-up. 1080p exports are free; Pro adds 4K.
What to watch out for on Pinterest
- 2:3 is the classic Pin shape and still performs, but 9:16 fills a phone screen on tap.
- Pinterest traffic keeps arriving months later, so avoid dated references in the frame.
- Text overlays survive here better than on other platforms because Pins get read, not scrolled past.
Questions people ask
What size should a Pinterest video Pin be?
A suggested export is 1080 by 1920 pixels at 9:16. Pins live in a masonry grid where taller means more space, and the same 9:16 master you cut for Reels drops straight in.
Which aspect ratio does Pinterest accept besides 9:16?
2:3, 1:1 all upload, but they show bars or get cropped. 9:16 is the one that fills the frame.
Where does the Pinterest interface cover the video?
Controls and captions can cover the picture differently across devices and viewing modes. The shaded calculator preview is an illustrative margin, not an official safe-zone specification. Check your upload preview before placing important text near an edge.
How do I crop a video I already shot to this size?
Use the calculator on this page to get the exact crop box, then apply it in any editor. On Android, Cropzen does it in a few taps with no watermark and no sign-up.
