What's New

The latest features, improvements, and fixes to Made to Spark.

Your Pinterest pins can now make themselves

New

Picture this: you open Pinterest next month and there are fresh pins for your posts that you never had to make. That's Auto Pin.

Pinterest loves fresh pins, but making them every week is a chore, so most accounts go quiet. Auto Pin keeps yours going.

What you get

  • Every new post gets pins on its own. Auto Pin checks your site every day. Publish a post, and its pins are made for you.
  • Your best posts keep getting fresh pins. Even a post from two years ago keeps getting new pins, as often as you choose, each with a new headline and design, in your brand colours.
  • Your boards keep getting new pins. The pins go out to your Pinterest boards on a schedule.

Set it up once

  1. Connect your Pinterest account and your blog, Shopify store or Etsy shop. No site? Paste your links instead.
  2. Pick the posts that matter most.
  3. Choose how the pins go out: check the first few and let Auto Pin schedule the rest, or check every pin yourself.

If you check them, pick a review day, every week or every 4 weeks. That morning we email you how many pins are ready, and one visit covers you until the next one.

Set up Auto Pin

Auto Pin is part of the Solo and Growth plans.

Making pins got a lot easier, plus new Canva-style designs

Improved

A cleaner, faster way to make a pin

Making a pin now has its own page with a fresh design and a smoother flow. Fewer steps, clearer choices, and your pins front and center from start to finish. Make a pin

Bulk Pins, rebuilt

Bulk Pins also moved to its own page, with the same fresh design and a simpler flow from your links to a full set of pins. Open Bulk Pins

New Canva-style designs

We've added new Canva-style designs. Use the "New" filter on your templates page to see them.

Lots of fixes

We also fixed many small bugs across pin making, scheduling and My Pins, so things just work more smoothly.

A new Pin Scheduler, 7 new pin designs and templates by niche

Improved

A new Pin Scheduler

The Pin Scheduler has a new look. Switch between Week, Month and List, see your pins with larger images, and see which board each scheduled pin goes to. Open the Pin Scheduler

7 new pin designs

Mood board, checklist card, photo row, film strip, photo letters, gallery wall and arched windows. Find them on your templates page.

Templates by niche

On the templates page, pick your niche (like food, travel or home decor) to see every design with photos that fit it, and the designs that work best for it first.

A new dashboard, Canva-style templates and hundreds of improvements

Improved

This month's update brings new Canva-style templates, a new dashboard, and a long list of fixes and improvements behind the scenes.

New Canva-style templates

We added a set of new templates in a clean, designer look, the kind you'd make by hand in Canva:

  • Bold typography and modern layouts that stand out in the Pinterest feed.
  • They use your page's own photos in a polished collage.
  • Look for the New badge in the template gallery.
  • Make several at once: tick up to 5 templates in the gallery and we create a pin from each one for the same link, in one go.

Browse all Pinterest templates

A dashboard built around what to do next

We rebuilt the dashboard. When you log in, you now get:

  • One overview of everything: your pins, schedule and workspaces on a single screen.
  • What needs your attention: pins to review, empty slots in your schedule and anything waiting on you.
  • Fewer clicks: the things you do most are one click from the dashboard.

Hundreds of improvements under the hood

  • Better pins: sharper images, better text placement and more consistent designs.
  • Better metadata: clearer titles, descriptions and keywords, so your pins are easier to find.
  • Smoother flow: creating, reviewing and scheduling pins has fewer steps and fewer surprises.
  • Bug fixes: we fixed a long list of bugs, big and small, that you reported or we found ourselves.

If something doesn't look right, let us know.

Bulk import pins you designed elsewhere

New

Made your pins in Canva or somewhere else? You can now bring them straight in.

Go to Bulk Pins → Import pins and upload up to 20 finished images at once. Your artwork is kept exactly as it is — nothing is redesigned or composited over it.

For each pin you can add:

  • A destination URL — where the pin should link. Paste one link and apply it to every blank row in a click.
  • A topic — a few words about the pin, so the title and description come out sharper. Leave it blank and we will use the destination page for context — and vary the wording, so several pins pointing at the same page do not read alike.

We write the title, description, alt text and keywords for every pin, match a board, and drop them into your schedule. Review and approve them on the Bulk Pin Approval page like any other batch.

Available on all subscription plans. Each imported pin uses one pin from your monthly plan.

URL pins: put your product in a scene

New

Paste a product or article URL and choose how your pin is built:

  • Put your product in a scene — AI lifts your actual product and stages it in a polished, lifestyle setting. A pair of boots becomes boots styled in a cosy living room, with your headline added crisply on top. Ideal for online shops.
  • Use a template — your images dropped into a clean, designed layout. Ideal for blog posts.

Don't like the wording? Edit the text anytime — headline, subtitle, CTA, brand line, colour and font — with no extra credit. Want a different look? Tap Variation to regenerate.

Find it on the Pinterest page → Create New Pin → From URL.

Bulk Pins: Generate Pins for Your Whole Site

New

Bulk Pins is now available to all subscribers. Generate pins for your entire site in one go — point it at your sitemap and it does the rest.

Paste your sitemap URL and pick the pages you want to pin. Archive and category pages are automatically skipped, pages you've already pinned show a count badge, and you can search and filter to fine-tune your selection. Choose how many pins each page should get, and AI generates them all in the background — image, overlay text, title, and description for every page.

Finished pins land in Pending Pins, where you review and approve them before scheduling or downloading. Nothing goes out without your sign-off.

Find it in the sidebar under Pinterest → Bulk Pins.

Paul Paul

Brand Logo Overlay

New

Stamp your logo onto any pin you generate. Upload it once in Settings → Article Styles, then toggle "Add brand logo" during pin generation.

Works across every pin generator — prompt, URL, keyword, and bulk sitemap. A persistent logo on every pin builds brand recognition over time.

Paul Paul

Generate Pins from a Prompt

New

Describe the pin you want and let AI build it for you. The new prompt-to-pin generator turns a single sentence into a finished pin — image, overlay text, and styling all handled automatically.

Great for one-off ideas that don't fit a keyword or article workflow: anything you can describe in plain language. Wrap any text in quotes (e.g. "Best Spring Hikes") and it'll be rendered as the overlay; the rest of your prompt sets the scene.

Find it on the Pinterest page - open the prompt pin modal and start typing.

Paul Paul

Banner Opacity Control

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.

Paul Paul

More Variety in Pins generated in batches

New

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.

Paul Paul

Export Pins as CSV

New

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).

Paul Paul

Board Description Manager

New

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.

Stabilizing & improving current features

Improved

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

Paul Paul

New article image mode: Best Match (Auto)

New

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.

Paul Paul

Create pins from any URL, your own images, or uploads

New

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.

Paul Paul

Infographics

New

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.

Paul Paul

Pin Scheduler

New

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.

Brand Voice: Pin Style Settings

New

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.

Brand colors settings

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.

Red & White color settings: Red & White colors settings

Black & Yellow color settings: Black & Yellow colors settings
