Try asking

• “Make a Pinterest pin for https://example.com/my-article”
• “Make a pin with this photo of mine”
• “Make three pin variations for this recipe page, each with a different template”
• “Use a quote template and the Charcoal palette for a dark pin”
• “Make the title shorter and render it again in PNG”
• “The text looks too small, make it bigger”
• “How many pin renders do I have left today?”

What the assistant can do

extract_url

Reads a web page you name (blog post, product page, recipe) and returns its title, description and images. If a site blocks automated readers you get a clear message, and you can give the title and photo yourself. The assistant also learns each photo's size and shape and, for recipes and products, the cook time or price, so it can pick a good picture and fill the details. For recipes, how-to guides and list pages that describe themselves to search engines, it also gets the steps, ingredients or items, ready to shorten into a list pin.

list_templates

Lists the 38 pin templates by category, with the extra fields each supports, such as a price or cook time, the color palettes each one is readable on, where the photo goes and which photo shape suits it, which two templates draw a list, and a link to a sample image of each.

preview_templates

Lets the assistant see what templates look like before it picks one: a sample sheet of a whole category, or larger samples of up to 6 templates it has shortlisted. The samples use sample text, photo and colors, not yours. It is free: it does not use one of your renders.

list_styles

Lists the 20 color palettes, light and dark, and 10 font pairings.

render_pin

Renders the pin: a preview in the chat plus a link to the full 1000x1500 image (JPEG, or PNG on request) and a link that opens the same pin on this website for further editing. You can ask for larger or smaller text (text size, from 70% to 250%). Or let the title be fitted to its space automatically. You can also move the crop of the photo or let it find the subject, zoom in on it or show it whole. You can also tone down the colour overlay some templates lay over the photo. For the two list templates it takes the list itself, up to 7 items, and says when some do not fit. The image link works for 7 days. It also tells the assistant when something looks wrong, such as a cut-off title or a soft photo.

upload_image

Puts your own photo on a pin. An assistant that can read the file (Claude Code, Cursor) sends it directly: JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 3 MB. The photo is cleaned first: location and camera data are removed and it is turned the right way up. It is kept for 7 days, like rendered pins.

upload_attached_image

Puts a photo you attached to the chat on a pin, in apps that pass attachments to tools as files (ChatGPT). It is checked and cleaned like any upload: JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.

create_upload_link

For a photo the assistant cannot read as a file, such as one pasted into the chat: it gives you a link to a page where you drop the photo (JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 4.5 MB). The link works once, for 15 minutes. Assistants that can run commands can send the file to the same link directly. A photo you already uploaded in the last hour is not stored twice: when the assistant sends it, it gets the earlier upload back; on the page, you are told it is the same photo, so you can tell the assistant.

get_upload

Tells the assistant whether your photo has arrived through the upload link, and gives it the image to use.

get_quota

Shows how many of your 20 daily renders are left.
