Pinterest: wrong image size
-
Dear author,
I’ve recently added the “Pin it” button to the pages of my site, in addition to Twitter and G+ ones, but I’m encountering an issue: when I Pin a blog post or an image from the portfolio, the system choose the image with an extremely low resolution, ignoring the high resolution ones.Example:
I pinned the following blog post https://www.phoclab.com/wp/blog/moni-arkadi-last-guardian/ in which is included as featured an image 622×612px wide. But, when I visit the Pin in my board on Pinterest, I noticed that it used the same image but 150x150px wide, as you can see at the follwing link: https://pinterest.com/pin/364932376025776825/
Reading the code of the blog post page, I found out that the plugin choose on purpose the small image, as you can see in the following code:<div class="socialize-in-button socialize-in-button-vertical"><a href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phoclab.com%2Fwp%2Fblog%2Fmoni-arkadi-last-guardian%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phoclab.com%2Fwp%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F12%2FDSCF2775-Monastero_Agia_Triada-150x150.jpg&description=The+last+guardian+of+Moni+Arkadi+%26%238211%3B+L%26%238217%3Bultimo+guardiano+di+Moni+Arkadi" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="vertical"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" /></a></div>
Is it possible to make the “Pin it” button choose the right sized image, instead of the worse one?
Note that WordPress automatically generated different versions of the same image in the following links:
https://www.phoclab.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DSCF2775-Monastero_Agia_Triada.jpg (1366x1345px, the original size)

In my opinion this is a critical issue, since Pinterest is a 100% visual network; so pinning a tiny unattractive image is an heavy handicap compared to the other millions pins…
Please, let me know if it’s possible to fix this problem. Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
