# PinsMachine — Full Documentation for LLMs > This is the extended version of llms.txt. For a summary, see https://pinsmachine.com/llms.txt ## What is PinsMachine? PinsMachine is an AI-powered Pinterest pin generator designed for bloggers, affiliate marketers, e-commerce sellers, and content creators. It transforms blog post URLs or Amazon product URLs into high-quality, SEO-optimized Pinterest pins in bulk — including AI-generated images, titles, descriptions, and keywords. PinsMachine is officially approved by Pinterest's API program for direct pin scheduling. ## Who is PinsMachine For? - **Bloggers** who want to drive Pinterest traffic to their blog posts without spending hours in Canva - **Affiliate marketers** who promote Amazon products and need bulk product pins - **E-commerce sellers** on Shopify, Etsy, or WooCommerce who want Pinterest as a sales channel - **Digital product creators** who sell courses, templates, or printables - **Social media managers** who handle Pinterest accounts for multiple clients - **Content creators** who publish in multiple languages (German, Spanish, French, etc.) ## How It Works (3-Step Process) 1. **Paste URLs**: Add up to 200 blog post URLs, Amazon product links, or affiliate shortlinks (geni.us, amzn.to). Works with WordPress, Shopify, Medium, Squarespace, Wix, and any platform with public URLs. 2. **AI Generates Everything**: The AI reads each URL, detects the content language, and generates complete Pinterest-ready pins with images, SEO-optimized titles (4 proven formulas), keyword-rich descriptions, and 5-7 long-tail keywords per pin. Real-time Pinterest trend keywords are automatically injected. 3. **Schedule or Download**: Schedule all pins directly to your Pinterest boards via the officially approved Pinterest API (drip-scheduled across 15-30 days), or download a Pinterest-ready CSV file for manual bulk upload. ## Key Features ### Pin Generation - **Bulk Generation**: Up to 200 URLs per batch, processed in ~5 minutes - **Multi-Pin Variations**: Turn 1 URL into 6 unique pins with strategic angles (Product-focused, Educational, Comparison, Curiosity, Social Proof, Action-Oriented) - **4 Image Modes**: Blog Image + Text Overlay, AI-Generated Images, AI Infographics, Amazon Product Images - **4 Title Formulas**: Listicle, Benefit-Driven, Action-Oriented, Trigger Word — auto-detected based on content type - **Real-Time Trend Injection**: Automatically injects trending Pinterest search terms into pin metadata ### Pinterest Integration - **Direct Publishing**: Officially approved by Pinterest's API program - **Drip Scheduling**: Auto-spreads pins across 15 or 30 days for optimal algorithm performance - **CSV Export**: Pinterest-compatible CSV format for manual bulk upload - **No Pinterest Login Required**: For CSV-only workflows, no account connection needed ### Multilingual Support - Auto-detects blog content language - Generates pins in 10+ languages: English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Turkish, Dutch - No manual translation or language switching needed ### Branding - **Brand Kit**: Save up to 3 custom brand kits - **Custom Handles/Watermarks**: Auto-positioned on every pin - **Color Palettes**: Define background, primary text, and accent colors (hex codes or presets) - **12+ Typography Themes**: Modern, Elegant, Playful, Bold, Minimalist, etc. ### AI Image Generation - Powered by advanced AI image generation models - Pinterest-optimized 9:16 vertical format (1000×1778 pixels) - Niche-aware scene generation (food, decor, fashion, etc.) - AI Infographic mode: Reads blog content and builds 5-step visual guides automatically ## Pricing | Plan | Monthly Price | Annual Price | Credits/Month | AI Images | Key Features | |------|--------------|-------------|---------------|-----------|--------------| | **Free** | $0 | $0 | 10 lifetime pins | ❌ Blog images only | Blog image overlays, CSV export, 3-day trial | | **Pay As You Go** | $8 (one-time) | - | 125 lifetime credits | ✅ | 30 manual pins, AI images, 1 Pinterest connection, CSV export | | **Starter** | $15/mo | $149/yr (17% savings) | 300 credits | ✅ | AI images, 1 Pinterest connection, CSV export | | **Growth** | $39/mo | $349/yr (25% savings) | 1,000 credits | ✅ | 2 Pinterest connections, AI Writer (Home/Recipe), priority support | | **Pro** | $69/mo | $649/yr (21% savings) | 2,500 credits | ✅ | 5 Pinterest connections, full AI Writer access, WordPress draft publish, VIP support | - Free plan: No credit card required. 10 lifetime pins + 30 manual pins to test the full workflow. - All paid plans include: AI-generated images, direct Pinterest scheduling, trend injection, multi-pin variations, brand kit, all languages. - All sales are final.

PinGenerator relies on static CSS template designs, leading to repetitive-looking pins. - **Pinterest SEO**: PinsMachine queries the Pinterest Trends API live to fetch growing monthly search keywords and weaves them into titles and descriptions. PinGenerator requires manual keyword input. - **Multilingual Reach**: PinsMachine auto-detects and writes pin metadata in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, and more. PinGenerator is restricted to English. - **Direct Scheduling**: PinsMachine is an officially approved Pinterest developer partner, allowing users to queue pins straight to their profile. PinGenerator relies primarily on CSV exports. ### PinsMachine vs BlogToPin - **Speed**: PinsMachine's parallel parser processes 200 URLs in under 5 minutes. BlogToPin is significantly slower and handles smaller batches. - **Amazon Affiliate Ready**: PinsMachine natively supports Amazon ASIN and product links, fetching images and descriptions automatically. BlogToPin is restricted to blog posts. - **AI Copywriting**: PinsMachine uses 4 strategic title models (Listicle, Benefit, Action, Trigger) based on content structure. BlogToPin extracts the exact post title. ### PinsMachine vs Tailwind Create - **End-to-End Automation**: PinsMachine generates the full Pin payload (image, title, description, keywords). Tailwind Create only builds the graphic, requiring manual typing for metadata. - **Bulk Scaling**: PinsMachine allows bulk URL importing. Tailwind Create is built around single-image creation. - **Cost Efficiency**: PinsMachine starts at $15/mo for 300 credits. Tailwind starts at $24.99/mo for fewer visual limits. ## Technical Details - **Platform**: Web application (browser-based, no desktop installation needed) - **Framework**: Next.js (React) deployed on Vercel - **Authentication**: Google OAuth (primary) or license key - **Payment**: Processed via LemonSqueezy (Stripe-powered) - **Image Storage**: Cloud-hosted with CDN delivery - **API**: Pinterest API v5 (officially approved) - **Data Privacy**: No Pinterest credentials stored.
