Pinterest board covers should be uploaded at 600×600 pixels (1:1 square). Pinterest crops the square image to a landscape format (approximately 222×150px) for display on your profile's board grid. Center your content vertically since the top and bottom edges may be cropped.

What you need to know
Board covers serve as the thumbnail image for each board on your Pinterest profile. They display as small landscape rectangles in the board grid — approximately 222×150 pixels on desktop. Pinterest crops your uploaded image to fit this landscape frame, cutting from the top and bottom of a square upload.
You can set a board cover by going to the board, tapping the '...' menu, and selecting 'Edit board.' Choose any pin within the board as the cover, or upload a custom image. A custom 600×600px image with the key visual centered vertically works best, since Pinterest's landscape crop is predictable and consistent.
Well-designed board covers make your Pinterest profile look intentional and browsable. Many brands create a matching set of covers with consistent typography, colors, and icon styles — similar to Instagram Highlight covers. This visual consistency signals professionalism and makes it easier for visitors to find the content they're looking for.
