What's New

You can now control the transparency of text banners on your pins. A new opacity slider (in the Branding section) lets you make banners semi-transparent so the images underneath show through.

Works on all layouts with overlays: bold stripe, sparkle frame, gradient overlay, color header, and all multi-image banner layouts.

When you generate multiple pins at once, they now look visually distinct instead of all sharing the same style. Each pin in a batch gets a different art style, composition, and color mood.

This is great for A/B testing which visual styles perform best on Pinterest. Generate a batch, schedule them, and let Pinterest tell you what resonates with your audience.

Export your pins as a Pinterest-compatible CSV file, ready for bulk upload. Select specific pins or export up to 200 at once from the pin gallery.

Exported pins come with smart scheduling built in — publish dates are automatically spread across days with proper spacing, just like bulk scheduling. If your Pinterest account is connected, boards are matched automatically.

Works without a Pinterest account too — the CSV exports with empty board names that you can assign during upload.

Find the Export CSV button in the selection bar (for selected pins) or in the filter bar (for all pins).

Manage your Pinterest board descriptions directly from the scheduler. Browse all your boards in the new Boards modal, search by name, and edit descriptions inline. Use AI to generate SEO-optimized board descriptions based on your board name and existing pin keywords — then save them directly to Pinterest with one click.

This week I'm focused on polishing the experience - fixing UX rough edges, acting on your feedback, and making everything more reliable.

A new image sourcing mode is available when generating articles: Best Match (Auto).

Instead of picking a single stock image provider, Best Match automatically searches multiple real photo sources (Pexels, Unsplash, Freepik, etc.) in a smart order to find the most relevant image for each section of your article.

No AI-generated images - only real, high-quality stock photography. The system picks the best match across providers so you get better relevance without having to try each source manually.

No more starting from scratch. Paste any webpage URL to extract its images, or upload pins you've already designed in tools like Canva. You can also use images from your generated articles.

Available from:

• The Pin Generation page — click "Create New Pin" and choose "From URL", "From Images", or upload your own designs
• The Article page — generate pins directly from your article images

This feature is free on subscription plans. Free and PAYG users can use it for 1 credit per pin.

Generate Pinterest-ready infographic pins from a topic description. Describe what your infographic should cover, pick a style, and Made to Spark handles the rest.

How it works

1. Switch to the Infographic tab in the pin generator
2. Describe your topic (e.g. "10 tips for better sleep" or "beginner guide to sourdough")
3. Pick a style — Modern, Bold, Playful, or Elegant
4. Hit generate. Done in under a minute.

Made to Spark writes a detailed image prompt behind the scenes, then generates a full infographic using Gemini or GPT Image.

What you can customize

• Style — Four presets that control layout, typography, and color palette
• Language — Generate infographics in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, or Portuguese
• Brand colors — Your brand palette is applied automatically if set in Brand Voice
• Watermark — Add your website URL as a bottom banner or in-image text overlay

Cost

1 credit per infographic. Same as regular pins.

Why infographics?

Infographic pins consistently outperform standard pins on Pinterest. They pack more value into a single image, which drives saves and gives a push to your whole board. Now you can create them without Canva or a designer.

Schedule and publish pins directly from Made to Spark. No downloading, no uploading, no copy-pasting.

How it works

• Connect your Pinterest account in one click (Settings → Integrations)
• From the pin generator, choose a pin and click Schedule
• Boards are automatically selected
• Title, description, alt text, and keywords are already written for you

You can schedule your pin or click Publish Now.

Who has access?

All users on a monthly or yearly plan (monthly credits / BYOK).

Everyone else gets a free trial until March 9. During the trial, you can schedule up to 5 pins per day.

You can now define your brand colors and visual tone in Brand Voice, and they'll be applied automatically every time you generate a pin.

This can be applied at pin generation (see "More Settings") or through the brand voice page.

What's included

• Brand Colors — Pick up to 5 colors (hex). The first color is your dominant/main color, the rest are accents. Quick-add presets for common colors, or enter any custom hex.
• Visual Tone — Describe your brand's visual style (e.g. "minimalist, warm, feminine, pastel tones"). This is injected into every AI image prompt.
• Colors to Avoid — Tell the AI what not to use (e.g. "no neon colors, no dark backgrounds").

How it works

Your brand colors are sent directly to the image generation API as a color palette, and your visual tone is woven into the AI prompt. This means every pin you generate will match your brand — no need to set colors each time.
