Made to Spark vs PinGenerator: the short answer

Both tools make pins from your links and schedule them. Pin Generator offers more extras, like RSS feeds, video pins, trend alerts and catalogs. If you want lots of AI pins, Made to Spark uses far fewer credits. For example, 50 scheduled AI pins use at least 650 of the 1,000 credits on Pin Generator Pro. On Solo, they use 50 of your 100 credits.

P PinGenerator is a good fit if…

  • You want video pins, RSS feeds or Pinterest catalogs
  • You want keyword research and trend alerts in the same tool
  • You mostly make template pins and schedule a moderate number
  • You like building your own templates from scratch

Made to Spark is a better fit if…

  • You want many AI pins, at 1 credit each
  • You do not want scheduling to use up credits
  • You want unlimited template pins on Solo and Growth
  • You want to schedule up to 30 pins a day on Solo
  • You want pins that look designed in Canva, without opening Canva

Pins that look designed in Canva

Most pin tools put your photo under a plain box of text. Made to Spark has 65 Canva-style designs: mood boards, film strips, checklists, photo-filled letters and more. Your photos, title and brand colour go in automatically, so every pin looks hand-designed.

Your colours, on every design

Save your brand colours once and every design uses them: the main colour on the big parts, your other colours on the ribbons, strips and tabs. Or pick one of 22 ready-made palettes for a single pin. Here is the same design in three of them.

How the pin generator works

What customers say

“I’m working on a fashion blog and was using multiple tools to create pins that didn’t really match the standards I had in mind. Made to Spark came at just the right moment. I had tried a ton of tools to create pins but none match the quality of pins made by Made to Spark. One very impressive thing when using this tool is how quick Paul helps when I need help with an extra feature or get stuck using the tools. His support when using this tool is second to none.”
Daisy K Daisy K Fashion Blogger
“Hi my name is Linda and I am an Amazon Associate posting pins to Pinterest. Madetospark is an awesome product. Very intuitive to use, and trust me I am not the smartest cookie in the bunch. However, Paul has been an amazing help. If you are in doubt, I would definitely recommend Madetospark to anyone who is generating pins.”
