Pinterest pin size for clothing brands: Pins, product Pins and catalogs (2026)

Published 2026-11-01

On Pinterest, a clothing brand is judged by its Pin images. Pinterest publishes one recommended Pin size, and its catalog feature turns every product in your store into a product Pin from your own product images. This page collects what Pinterest's own help center says, quoted with the date we checked it, and turns it into a photo set for clothing. We make NotShot, an AI on-model photo tool, so we also cover where on-model images fit.

The recommended Pin size

Pinterest's ad spec guide, Pinterest product specs (checked by us on 1 November 2026), gives these image specs for standard Pins:

• Aspect ratio: Pinterest recommends 2:3, or 1000 x 1500 pixels. Pins with an aspect ratio greater than 2:3 might get cut off in people's feeds.
• File type: PNG or JPEG.
• Max file size: 20 MB on desktop, 32 MB in the app.
• Color: all uploaded images are converted to standard 8-bit RGB JPEGs, and Pinterest advises uploading PNG in sRGB to avoid a loss in image quality.
• Title: up to 100 characters, and depending on the device, the first 40 may show in feeds.

Shopping ads follow the same specs as standard image and video ads, according to the same guide. For clothing, 2:3 is good news: a full-length on-model photo is already a tall frame, so a model shot exported at 1000 x 1500 or larger shows the whole outfit from head to shoes.

Catalog images for product Pins

Pinterest's article Before you get started with catalogs (checked by us on 1 November 2026) lists the fields of a product data source. For images, it says:

• image_link: the main product image, at least 1000 x 1500 pixels, accessible by Pinterest's user agent, and no template or placeholder images.
• additional_image_link: up to 10 additional images, at least 75 x 75 pixels, with the same access and no-placeholder rules. Pinterest creates a new Pin for every additional image link.
• Changing an image: if you change an image later, you need to use a different link, or the image will not update.
• Variants: item_group_id is required when products have multiple variants, and the title should match the landing page, including variant details such as color and size.

The additional image rule matters most for clothing. Each extra image becomes its own Pin, so a back view, a detail shot and an outfit shot each get their own chance to be found in search. Treat every image in the feed as a Pin a shopper might see on its own, without the rest of the set beside it.

Carousel ads

For carousel ads built from your own images, the Pinterest product specs guide (checked 1 November 2026) allows 2 to 5 images per carousel, PNG or JPEG, up to 20 MB per image, at 1:1 or 2:3. Carousels built from catalog creative take 2 to 10 images and videos. For clothing, a carousel of front, back, detail and outfit views on the same model works like a short lookbook in the feed.

White backgrounds in the home feed

The same guide says that for Pins with a white or near white background, Pinterest automatically applies a faint black layer on top of the creative in light mode, and makes no change in dark mode. So a packshot on pure white will not look pure white in every feed. An on-model photo with a soft studio tone or a scene background is less affected, and it still shows the garment's real color.

A clothing photo set for Pinterest

1. Main image: the garment on a model, full length, portrait, at 1000 x 1500 pixels or larger.
2. Back view, on the same model and background, as an additional image.
3. Detail shot of fabric, print or closures, so it can win searches for the texture or pattern.
4. Outfit or scene shot showing the piece styled, which is the kind of image people save to boards.
5. One image per colorway, each showing that exact color, with the color in the product title.

Where NotShot fits

Pinterest turns each catalog image into a Pin, so a clothing catalog needs several strong on-model images per product, in every colorway, at a tall 2:3 frame. NotShot renders your garment on your own model from the product photo you already have, in portrait, with the same model across the catalog so your Pins look like one brand. Every render is checked by an AI judge that compares it with your upload for color, print and cut, so the Pin shows the color the customer receives. Renders below the quality bar are refunded automatically, so you pay for photos that pass the check, not for attempts. Plans are on the pricing page.
