Pinterest Profile Picture Size: Resize to 165×165
Resize and crop a Pinterest profile picture to 165×165 pixels, saved as a JPG of up to 500 KB. The image is processed in your browser, so the original is never uploaded to a server.
Your image is processed only in this browser. It is never uploaded to a server, stored or shared, and no account is needed. Check the destination’s current requirements before uploading.
The image is centered and the output dimensions adapt to the file-size limit. Keep the main subject near the center for a clear crop. File sizes use decimal units: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes and 1 MB = 1,000 KB. Your image is processed on your device.
How it works
- Choose the picture you want on your Pinterest profile.
- Check the 165×165 preset and the 500 KB limit, then select Prepare.
- Look at the preview to confirm the subject is centered in the square.
- Download the JPG and upload it in your Pinterest profile settings.
Resize Pinterest profile picture to 165×165 pixels
Pinterest profile pictures are displayed small, so a 165×165 square is the size this tool uses for the profile circle. The crop is centered, which means your main subject should sit in the middle of the original, away from the edges.
A small square also means fine detail disappears quickly. Choose a picture with a bold subject, such as a face, a logo or a single object.
A consistent photo across your social accounts makes your profile easier to find.
To resize a photo to the Pinterest profile picture size, choose it, select Prepare, and download the JPG. That takes two clicks after you pick the file, and the 165×165 preset and 500 KB limit are already filled in.
Make a Pinterest avatar under 500 KB
A small file keeps your profile page quick to load, which matters when people browse many boards. The tool compresses the JPG to stay under 500 KB and adjusts the dimensions only if compression alone is not enough. File sizes are decimal, so 1 KB is 1,000 bytes.
Because the output is small, heavy compression rarely shows, but very dark or noisy photos can still look grainy.
Profile pictures on Pinterest sit beside your boards and pins, so a recognizable image helps people connect your account with your work. If you use a logo, keep it simple and avoid small text, since it becomes unreadable in a 165-pixel circle. Preview the square at its smallest size, and if you change the design later, prepare the new image from the original rather than from a compressed copy.
Crop a picture for Pinterest's round profile frame
Pinterest displays profile pictures in a circle, so corners of the square may be hidden. Keep the face or logo inside a central area with some margin. The current background is kept, and transparent parts of the picture turn white.
If you need a larger image for pins or board covers, this profile tool is not the right one, since those have their own sizes. After uploading, open your profile on a phone and check how the circle frames the picture.
