How to Batch Resize Product Photos for Pinterest & Instagram

E-commerce photos are often shot in landscape (4:3) or square (1:1) formats. However, social media platforms favor vertical formats because they occupy more screen space on mobile devices.

If you upload horizontal product photos to Pinterest or Instagram, your pins will look small and get ignored by users scrolling their feeds.

By batch-resizing your product listing photos into optimized vertical graphics, you can capture more views and drive organic traffic to your store.

Optimize your images to match standard platform guidelines:

• Pinterest Pins: 1000 x 1500 pixels (2:3 aspect ratio).
• Instagram Feed Posts: 1080 x 1350 pixels (4:5 vertical ratio).
• Instagram Stories & Reels: 1080 x 1920 pixels (9:16 full-screen ratio).
