# Create Pinterest pins with Pin Maker

> Turn blog images into ready-to-download Pinterest pin designs.

Pin Maker turns images from your blog into a varied set of Pinterest pin designs.

Use it when you want to create pins for one article, prepare pins for several posts at once, or build pins from images on your device. You can choose the images, colors, fonts, and wording before downloading the designs as PNG files.

Open **Create** in the Pinsearch sidebar, then select **Pin Maker**.

<Info>
  Pin Maker requires active Pinsearch access through a free trial, subscription, or lifetime license. Creating and downloading pins does not use AI creation credits.
</Info>

## Create pins from one blog post

<Steps>
  <Step title="Import your blog post">
    Keep **Single URL** selected. Paste the public URL of your blog post, then click **Import**.

    Pin Maker reads the page title, description, website address, and available images. Your first pin set appears automatically after the import finishes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the Image Pool">
    Pin Maker includes the usable images it found on the page.

    * Click a checked image to exclude it from the pin set. Click it again to include it.
    * Click the star on an image to make it a priority. Priority images are used more often.
    * Click **+ Upload** to add your own JPG, PNG, or WebP images.
    * Click **Show all images** when the page contains more images than the first group shown.

    Keep at least one image included so Pin Maker can build a pin set.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the size and style of the pin set">
    Expand **Pin Sets** to control the whole set.

    Under **Pins per page**, choose **5**, **11**, **20**, or enter a custom number up to 30. Pin Maker uses smart rotation to vary the images and layouts instead of repeating one design.

    Under **Brand Style**, choose a **Color Palette** and **Fonts**. Click **View all** when you want to see every available choice.

    <Frame caption="Pin Sets applies one pin count, color palette, and font system to the current set.">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit the words on your pins">
    Expand **Pin Copy**, then review these fields:

    * **Number:** An optional number for list-style pins, such as `17`.
    * **Pin title:** The main headline shown on the designs.
    * **Accent text:** An optional short phrase used by some layouts as a badge or script-style detail.
    * **Footer / website:** Your website name. Pin Maker fills this from the imported URL when possible.

    Your previews update as you type. Keep the title and accent text short enough to read quickly on a phone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and customize the previews">
    Click a preview to enlarge it. Click **Customize** to choose where the title sits for that template, such as **Auto**, **Top**, **Center**, or **Bottom**.

    Use the check in the corner of each preview to select the pins you want to download.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download your pins">
    Click **Download selected** to download only the checked designs, or click **Download all** to download the complete set.

    Pin Maker downloads a ZIP file containing PNG images that are ready for your Pinterest workflow.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Download the pins you want before refreshing or leaving Pin Maker. Pin sets are not saved in the Article Library.
</Warning>

## Create pins from images on your device

You can use Pin Maker even when you do not have a blog post ready.

Under **Single URL**, click **Upload images manually instead**. Choose one or more JPG, PNG, or WebP images, then use **Pin Sets**, **Pin Copy**, and the preview controls in the same way as an imported post.

The title, accent text, number, and footer start as editable fields because there is no page for Pin Maker to read.

## Create pins for several posts

Use **Bulk Generate** when you want to prepare pin sets for more than one article from the same website.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find your blog posts">
    Select **Bulk Generate**, enter your website address, then click **Find Posts**.

    Pin Maker checks the website sitemap and lists the posts it can find. Use the search box to narrow the list by title or URL.

    <Frame caption="Bulk Generate can find posts from a website sitemap before you choose which pages to import.">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose up to 10 posts">
    Select the posts you want, then click **Import Selected Posts**. Pin Maker can import up to 10 posts in one batch.

    If sitemap search does not show the pages you need, click **Copy/paste bulk URLs manually**. Paste one article URL per line, then click **Import URLs**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review each page">
    Select an imported page to see its pin previews. Use **change images** when you want to include, exclude, prioritize, or upload images for that page.

    **Pin Copy** changes the currently selected page. **Pin Sets** applies the pin count, palette, and fonts across the bulk run.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download the batch">
    Check individual previews and click **Download selected** when you only need pins from the current page. Click **Download all** to download every generated pin from every imported page in one ZIP file.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How the recommended mix works

Pin Maker plans a varied set for you automatically:

* It favors clearer, larger images and skips images you exclude.
* It uses starred priority images more often without placing them on every pin.
* It rotates layouts, image combinations, and text positions to reduce repetition.
* It may create fewer pins than requested when there are not enough usable images or unique layout combinations.

<Tip>
  Give Pin Maker several clear images with different subjects or angles. A more varied Image Pool usually produces a stronger, less repetitive pin set.
</Tip>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Pin Maker could not find usable images">
    Make sure the blog post is public and opens without a login. Try the direct article URL instead of a category or homepage. You can also click **Upload images manually instead** and add JPG, PNG, or WebP files from your device.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I received fewer pins than I requested">
    The current Image Pool may not support enough unique designs. Include more usable images, upload additional images, or choose a smaller number under **Pins per page**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="One image appears too often">
    Remove its priority star, exclude duplicate versions, or mark other strong images as priority. Pin Maker rebuilds the mix as you change the Image Pool.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Download selected is disabled">
    Click the check in the corner of at least one pin preview. The button becomes available after a pin is selected.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Bulk Generate cannot find a post">
    Click **Copy/paste bulk URLs manually**, paste the direct article URLs one per line, and click **Import URLs**. You can import up to 10 URLs in one batch.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
