When you create an article from a topic or keyword, you can choose how many listicle items to create and what shape the generated images should use. These settings affect article length, image style, generation time, and credit usage.

The From Keyword tab includes item count and image aspect ratio settings.

​
Choose article length

Use No. of Items in Listicle to choose how many sections Pinsearch should create. You can choose 1 to 25 items. Shorter articles are useful when:
  • You are testing a topic.
  • You want a quick draft.
  • You have a narrow idea.
  • You want to spend fewer credits.
Longer listicles are useful when:
  • The topic has many clear examples.
  • You want a bigger article.
  • You are creating a roundup.
  • You are building a larger content asset for WordPress.

​
Credit impact

Topic-to-article generation uses 2 credits per item. Examples:
  • 3 items use 6 credits.
  • 5 items use 10 credits.
  • 10 items use 20 credits.
  • 25 items use 50 credits.

​
Choose image aspect ratio

Use Image Aspect Ratio to choose the shape for AI-generated listicle images.
Image Aspect Ratio menu with 3:2 Landscape, 1:1 Square, and 2:3 Portrait choices

Current image ratio choices are landscape, square, and portrait.

Available choices:
  • 3:2 Landscape: Wide scenes with more context.
  • 1:1 Square: Balanced centered compositions.
  • 2:3 Portrait: Tall subject-focused visuals.

​
Which ratio should you use?

Use 3:2 Landscape when the image needs room for a full scene, such as rooms, tables, landscapes, or product groupings. Use 1:1 Square when you want balanced images that crop cleanly in many layouts. Use 2:3 Portrait when you want taller visuals that feel closer to Pinterest pin shapes.
