Pinterest profile pictures should be 600×600 pixels in a 1:1 square format. They display as circles across the platform — on your profile page, next to your pins in the feed, and in search results. The minimum size is 165×165px, but uploading at 600×600 ensures clarity on all devices.
- •Upload at 600×600px — the minimum 165×165 will look blurry on modern high-DPI screens.
- •Design within a circular safe zone — Pinterest displays profile pictures as circles everywhere.
- •Use a simple, recognizable image — your profile picture appears as small as 32px in notifications and feeds.
What you need to know
Pinterest profile pictures appear in several places: your profile page header, next to your pins and Idea Pins in the feed, in search results when your content appears, and in the 'Creator' section of pin detail pages. The image is always displayed as a circle, so corners of the square upload are cropped.
For business accounts, your profile picture is particularly important because it appears as a trust signal next to your Promoted Pins (ads). A clear, recognizable logo or headshot helps users quickly identify your brand as they scroll. The minimum dimension is 165×165px, but this will look blurry on high-DPI devices — upload at 600×600px for best results.
Pinterest profile pictures also appear in the 'Following' feed and in notifications when you interact with other users' content. At these small sizes (approximately 32-48px), only the simplest designs remain legible. Use a bold, recognizable mark rather than a detailed photograph or text-heavy logo.
