Quick Answer
Pinterest displays your business profile picture at just 165 x 165 pixels - and much smaller (about 30 px) beside pins and comments. Upload a square image of at least 600 x 600 so the downscale stays crisp. The profile cover is a separate, newer slot: it pulls from your pins by default but accepts an upload at 16:9 (800 x 450 or larger). As everywhere, the avatar renders as a circle, so pad the logo ~15% from the edges.
Pinterest is a search engine - the avatar is a trust signal
Unlike Instagram, most people who see your Pinterest avatar have never visited your profile: it appears beside pins in search results, where users decide in a second whether the source looks legitimate. A crisp, recognizable mark at 30 px meaningfully affects saves and click-throughs on product pins. That's the real reason to get this file right - it's shelf presence, not decoration.
What to upload where
| Slot | Upload size | Displays as |
|---|---|---|
| Profile picture | 600 x 600+ square | 165 px circle on profile, ~30 px beside pins |
| Profile cover | 800 x 450+ (16:9) | Wide banner atop your profile |
| Pin branding | Logo at ~5-8% of pin height | Corner watermark on 1000 x 1500 pins |
The third row is the one Pinterest-savvy brands sweat: putting a small, consistent logo on every pin (top-left or top-right, clear of the bottom overlay where Pinterest draws its own UI). Batch-stamp your pins with the Watermark Adder instead of editing each one.
Workflow
- Export a 600 x 600 avatar: symbol centered, solid background, 15% padding.
- Verify your website in Pinterest business settings - verified profiles show the domain under the avatar, doubling the trust effect.
- Watermark your pin templates once, at consistent position and opacity, and reuse.

FAQ
What is the Pinterest profile picture size?
It displays at 165 x 165 pixels (circle). Upload at least 600 x 600 square, JPG or PNG, so smaller renders stay sharp.
Where should a logo go on a pin?
Top-left or top-right at roughly 5-8% of the pin's height. Avoid the bottom quarter - Pinterest overlays titles and action buttons there and your logo gets covered.
Does Pinterest crop my profile picture into a circle?
Yes, everywhere it appears. Keep the mark centered with about 15% padding so nothing important touches the crop line.
