How to resize an image to 1000x1500
- Choose or drop your images above.
- Keep “Crop to fill” for an exact 1000x1500 result, or pick “Fit inside” to avoid cropping.
- Download the resized files individually or as a ZIP.
About 1000x1500 pixels
A 1000x1500 image is portrait, with an aspect ratio of 2:3, and holds 1.50 megapixels. At 300 DPI it would print at about 3.3 x 5.0 inches (8.5 x 12.7 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 165KB and 330KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 1000x1500 is used
A common Pinterest pin size in a tall 2:3 shape. Tall pins use more space in the feed than square or wide pictures.
- Export from your editor at exactly this size, so the platform does not recompress and blur the picture.
- Keep key text and faces away from the edges, because apps crop and place buttons near them.
- Check the platform help page before you upload. Recommended sizes change from time to time.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 1000x1500 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 1000x1500, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 50% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 56%, a 16:9 screenshot about 63%, and a square image about 33%.
Quality and format
Check the result before you upload
Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 1000x1500, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.
A tip for this size
Put the main subject in the upper two thirds, where it is seen first. Need another size? Try 1200x1800, 1080x1350, 1080x1920, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 1000x1500?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 1000x1500 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 165KB and 330KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 1000x1500 the right size for Pinterest pins?
It is a widely used size for Pinterest pins, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will a small photo look blurry at 1000x1500?
If the original is smaller than this size, the tool has to enlarge it, and the result can look soft. Start from the largest version you have.
