Square Etsy photos in a tall pin
Most Etsy listing photos are square or 4:3, and cropping them to 2:3 cuts off the product. Two ways round it:
- Photo on top, band below. Put the square photo, whole, in the top 1000 × 1000 of the pin, and use the 500 pixels below for the item name and your shop name on a solid background. This is what Pinforge does for square photos.
- A tall shot. If you have a portrait photo (a ring on a hand, a dress on a model), use it full bleed with a soft fade at the bottom for the text.
Text on the image
- Keep it short: the item name and your shop name are enough.
- Make it readable on a phone: large, bold, high contrast.
Titles and descriptions
Lead the title with what the item is, in the words a buyer searches. Our free pin title and description generator does this from an Etsy listing link, and the niche guides have keyword ideas for your kind of shop.
