Product Images Built for Pinterest's Vertical Pin Format
Pinterest ads run as Pins and Idea Pins in a tall 2:3 vertical format designed for a browsing, high shopping-intent audience that saves content for later rather than scrolling past it. Fluxx.work generates product creative natively in that vertical aspect ratio, built to perform in a feed where a single Pin can keep driving traffic for months after it's posted.

Why Pinterest's 2:3 format and audience intent differ from other feeds
Pinterest's standard Pin format is a tall 2:3 image, noticeably more vertical than Instagram's 4:5 or a square feed post, and cropping a square or 4:5 source image into 2:3 leaves awkward empty space or cuts off the product. The audience is also different: Pinterest users are actively planning purchases and saving Pins to boards, so content has a much longer shelf life than a typical social ad and rewards a clear, single-product focus over a busy lifestyle scene.
Idea Pins and multi-image formats
Idea Pins let a single ad unit carry multiple full-screen vertical pages, useful for showing a product from several angles or in multiple use contexts within one ad. Fluxx.work can generate a coordinated set of 2:3 images — different angles, colorways, or on-model shots — from one source photo, suited to populating an Idea Pin's multi-page format.

“We used to book a studio every quarter. Now one product photo gives us the hero, lifestyle and detail shots in a single pass, and the catalogue finally looks like one brand instead of six separate shoots.”

“The garment is genuinely the same in every frame — colour, print and trims all hold. That was the part I did not believe until we ran our own SKUs through it.”

“Glass and reflections are where most tools fall apart. Ours come out clean, so we can photograph a new scent the week it launches instead of waiting on a studio slot.”

“Metal finish and stone detail survive a zoom now, which is what our listings actually needed. We stopped reshooting pieces that came back soft.”
