Batch Compressing Photos for Pinterest Pins
When you have dozens of images, consistency matters as much as size. Pins are tall and browsed in dense grids, so file size adds up quickly across a board.
Recommended settings for Pinterest pins
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 1000 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 78 |
| File size | 300 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Batch Compressing Photos
Drop all the files at once. The same settings are applied to each, so a set of photos for Pinterest pins ends up with matching dimensions and similar file sizes.
Use Download all to collect everything in one ZIP. A target of 300 KB per image keeps the whole batch predictable.
