Pinterest safe zone
Short answer
Pinterest publishes the video pin safe zone in pixels: top 270, left 65, right 195, bottom 790, for a 1080 x 1920 full-bleed video. That is the only row in Koldflux's truth table where the platform states pixels outright.
Key takeaways
- Pinterest states the safe zone in pixels, not percentages: 270 / 65 / 195 / 790 on 1080 x 1920.
- The bottom is 790 px, more than twice the top, because the video is overlaid on the Pin grid and a caption and link sit below it.
- The sides are asymmetric too, 65 px left against 195 px right.
- It is the clearest published figure on this page because it needs no conversion and no measurement.
The overlay
One surface, and it is the only one in this block where the platform states pixels outright. Nothing on the overlay is converted.

On a 1080×1920 frame, leave the top 270 px, the bottom 790 px, the left 65 px and the right 195 px free of text and faces.

What Pinterest published
The Pin specifications page states: "Safe zones: Put text and other elements within the dimensions below so users can easily see on any device when viewing. Top: 270 px, Left: 65 px, Right: 195 px, Bottom: 790 px", for a 1080 x 1920 full-bleed video.
This is the one surface on this page where a platform gave pixels rather than percentages, so nothing on this page is inferred: the overlay numbers are Pinterest's own.
What those numbers mean on the grid
A video Pin is played inside the grid and then expands. The 790 px bottom reserve is what keeps a caption or a product name readable in the collapsed grid tile, where the video is short and the overlay controls sit under it.
The 195 px right reserve is wider than the 65 px left one for the same reason YouTube's is: the action column lives on the right.
At 1080 x 1920 the safe rectangle is 820 x 860 px, which is 40% of the frame by area. That is the tightest safe area of any surface in this block, which is worth knowing before you design a full-bleed video Pin.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pinterest video pin safe zone?
Pinterest publishes it in pixels: 270 px top, 65 px left, 195 px right and 790 px bottom, on a 1080 x 1920 full-bleed video.
Does Pinterest publish a percentage safe zone?
No. This is the one surface in Koldflux's truth table where a platform states the safe zone in pixels, so the overlay on this page is Pinterest's own figures with nothing converted.
Why is the Pinterest video pin safe area so small?
The 790 px bottom and 195 px right reserves leave only 820 x 860 px of the 1080 x 1920 frame, about 40% of the area. A video Pin is overlaid on the grid with a caption and controls, so more of the frame is covered than on a full-screen player.

Pinterest states the video pin safe zone in pixels on its Pin specifications page, so this page quotes rather than measures. That makes it the most directly sourced surface in the block.
