Pinterest recommends a 2:3 vertical pin, which is 1000x1500 pixels. Upload your image below and crop it to that ratio so your pin displays at full height in the feed instead of being cut short.

Pinterest truncates pins that are much taller than 2:3 and shrinks pins that are wider, so both extremes lose visual space. 1000x1500 is the sweet spot that fills the column without triggering either behaviour.
The recommended pin is 1000 x 1500 pixels, a 2:3 vertical ratio. This displays at full height in the feed on both desktop and mobile.
Not usually. Pins much taller than 2:3 get visually truncated in the feed, so the extra height is wasted and the bottom of your design may never be seen.
Yes, 1000 x 1000 works, but a square takes up less column height than a 2:3 vertical pin, so it competes less well for attention while scrolling.
Put the main headline in the top third of the pin. That part stays visible even when the pin is partly cut off in a crowded feed.
