About the Pinterest profile cover size
The Pinterest profile cover is widely documented as at least 800 pixels wide by 450 tall, a 16:9 landscape, uploaded behind your name and profile picture at the top of your account. It is one of the few Pinterest surfaces that is landscape rather than the platform's usual vertical bias, so a wide brand photo or a simple graphic works well here. Keep the minimum in mind: going narrower than 800 by 450 risks Pinterest rejecting or stretching the upload.

How this spec was checked
Platform sizes change without notice, so this entry records what it was verified against rather than stating a number and hoping it holds. Last checked July 2, 2026.
ConventionPinterest does not publish a size for this surface. The number below is the one the industry has standardised on, which is a useful answer but not a claim about Pinterest.
Pinterest's Pin specs article documents Pin requirements but not the profile cover, and the help page that carries the 800 by 450 figure renders client-side, so it could not be quoted directly here. Treat 800 by 450 as the widely reported minimum rather than a figure read from Pinterest's own page.
Every spec on this site carries one of those two labels. See the cheat sheet for the full split, and the changelog for every correction with the date it happened.
