2:3 Aspect Ratio Calculator
Making pins or printing photos? Enter the width or height below and this 2:3 aspect ratio calculator finds the matching dimension, including the standard 1000x1500 Pinterest pin size and common print sizes like 4x6 and 8x12.
What is the 2:3 Aspect Ratio?
The 2:3 aspect ratio is the portrait version of the classic 3:2 photo shape: 2 units wide for every 3 units tall (0.67:1). Since 35mm film, this shape has been the standard for vertical photos, and the same proportions made it the default for Pinterest pins.
It sits comfortably between 3:4 (0.75) and 9:16 (0.56), which makes it feel natural for both prints and screens.
Common 2:3 Resolutions
- 400 x 600 (small pin)
- 640 x 960 (classic phone portrait)
- 800 x 1200 (standard blog image)
- 1000 x 1500 (Pinterest standard pin)
- 1080 x 1620 (high-res pin)
- 1333 x 2000 (DSLR portrait output)
- 2000 x 3000 (print quality)
If you remember one number for Pinterest, make it 1000 x 1500 pixels. Other pins get scaled into that same 2:3 window in the feed.
Where You See 2:3
- Pinterest pins: Pinterest shows a 2:3 crop in feeds, so 1000 x 1500 is the recommended size. Anything taller is truncated.
- Portrait photos: Turn a 3:2 camera photo upright and you have 2:3. Prints at 4 x 6, 6 x 9, 8 x 12 and 20 x 30 inches all match.
- Posters and book covers: Tall formats like ISO paper sizes are close to 2:3 or 1:1.4, so designs snap into it easily.
