How to use the pin maker
- Enter the page URL. Paste the blog post, recipe or product page you want Pins for. The tool reads the page and collects its images and text.
- Adjust the settings (optional). AI Content Generation controls how the headline on each Pin is written: pick a preset or write your own prompt, and choose the language. Design Customization is where you choose fonts, a color palette and which templates to use. Image Settings controls which images from the page are used.
- Click "Generate Pins". You get several designs at once. Use Randomize for new combinations, and the Images tab to switch off any photos you don't want.
- Download. Save a single Pin as a PNG or download all of them at once, then upload them to Pinterest with a keyword-first title and description.

What makes a Pin design work
Pinterest's creative best practices come down to a few rules:
- Go vertical. Most people use Pinterest on their phones, so Pinterest recommends a 2:3 image.
- Put the key message at the top and extra details at the bottom, with the image in the middle. Keep the text short and big enough to read while scrolling.
- Show your brand without letting it take over. A logo or site name should be visible on every Pin, but small.
- Match the page. Pinterest asks that the images, text and keywords on a Pin match the page it links to.
| Element | Weak | Stronger |
|---|---|---|
| Headline on the image | My Favorite Recipe | Easy Vegan Lasagna, Ready in 45 Minutes |
| Photo | A wide shot where the dish is tiny | A close, vertical crop of the dish itself |
| Branding | None, or a logo covering half the Pin | Site name in small type at the bottom |
| Promise vs. page | "25 Living Room Ideas" linking to a post with 8 | "8 Small Living Room Ideas" linking to that post |
Make several Pins for each page with different images and headlines. Each one can target a different search phrase.
FAQ
Is the pin maker really free?
Yes, no sign-up needed. There are hourly and daily limits per visitor to keep it free. The full BlogToPin app removes those limits and can create and schedule Pins for every page on your site.
Can I use my own images?
The free tool uses the images it finds on the page you enter, and you can switch off the ones you don't want. Uploading your own images, and importing Canva templates, are part of the BlogToPin app. See using custom images.
What size are the Pins?
The built-in templates export at 1000 x 1500 pixels as PNG, which is Pinterest's recommended 2:3 size.
Can I change the design?
You can change the fonts, color palette, images and which templates are used, but not the layout of a template itself.
Can I post the downloaded Pins to Pinterest?
Yes, they're yours to use. When you upload them, add a title and description with the Pinterest title and description generator and alt text with the alt text generator.
