Pinterest Profile Picture Resizer
Your Pinterest profile picture appears on your profile and next to every pin you save. This page resizes it to a 280×280 square, ready for Pinterest’s circle crop. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.
Drag the preview to choose which part of the image is kept. The same framing is used for every image in the batch.
Getting the Pinterest profile picture right
The Pinterest profile picture is a small circle, so a centred square slightly larger than its display size gives the cleanest result.
Circle of ~165 px
Shown round on your profile, smaller beside pins.
280 px for sharpness
Larger than the display size for high-resolution screens.
Logo for brands
Centre the logo mark with padding.
Consistent everywhere
Use the same image on all your social profiles.
About 12 KB–24 KB as JPG
A typical photo at 280×280 saves to roughly 12 KB–24 KB at good quality — well within the upload limit.
You choose the crop
Filling 280×280 from a 3:4 phone photo trims about 25% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick the fit option to keep everything.

A small circle on every pin
Shown at about 165 pixels. Pinterest displays the profile picture as a circle of roughly 165 pixels on your profile, and much smaller beside pins. A 280×280 upload keeps it sharp on high-resolution screens.
Business accounts. For a brand, use your logo mark centred with space around it, so the circle does not clip it. Keep it identical to your other social profiles.
Personal accounts. A head-and-shoulders photo with a plain background reads best when shown tiny next to your pins.
