Use Regen when one of the generated article images does not fit the section well enough. Regeneration creates a new version of the selected image while keeping it connected to the article section.
Image tab showing a selected generated article image with Feature and Regen buttons

The Regen button appears for supported generated images in the Image tab.

​
When Regen appears

The Regen button appears only for images Pinsearch can regenerate. It may not appear for:
  • Uploaded images.
  • External images.
  • Images that do not have enough generation details saved with them.

​
Save before regenerating

Pinsearch requires the article to be saved before regenerating an image. If you have unsaved edits and click Regen, Pinsearch asks you to save the article first.
Save your article before regenerating an image. This keeps the image update tied to the latest saved version of the draft.

​
Credit cost

Regenerating an article image uses 2 credits. If regeneration fails after credits are taken, Pinsearch attempts to return those credits automatically.
