Pinterest is amazing for boosting your brand reach and web traffic. But it takes the right strategy and consistency. This is where Pinterest automation tools come in.

Pinterest has hundreds of millions of engaged visitors and if you show up with quality pins and content, you’ll probably get results.

I love feeling like I have control over my traffic (especially since Google and AI disruptions).

So if you’re keen to start Pinterest or make your workflow quicker and easier, keep reading. This is my curated list of the best tools for Pinterest.

Let’s get to it!

What Are Pinterest Automation Tools?

Want to automate your pinning strategy? That’s what Pinterest automation tools do.

They take care of different parts of the pinning process, from keyword research and strategy to graphics, copywriting and posting.

Some tools let you automate certain parts of your workflow; others let you automate the whole dang thing.

Put another way, Pinterest automation tools do the work for you.

Do I Need To Use Pinterest Tools?

Nope! You can grow your account without using a single tool. Buuuut, they do help a lot.

Especially if you’re serious about Pinterest for blogging, want to stay organized and are hoping to scale your traffic without burning out.

Sooner or later, Pinterest tools are totally worth the investment. Plus, a lot of them have free plans. So let’s keep moving.

9 Best Pinterest Automation Tools

Gems for automating my Pinterest strategy.

1. Content Goblin

For automatic food blog listicles

Content Goblin is a content generator that takes any topic, turns it into a Pinterest-ready listicle and publishes it.

It looks like this tool is especially good for recipe blogs. But there are other niche examples (like travel).

Plus, I love the branding (goblins, ghouls and ghosts? I dig it).

PRICING

Ghoul: $39/month
Ghost: $59/month
Goblin: $109/month

2. PinClicks

For finding long tail keyword opportunities

PinClicks is great for automating your keyword research. With a simple seed keyword, you’ll get tons of ideas for inspiration and strategy (with search volume, of course).

Rather than thinking your way to long-tail keyword opportunities, PinClicks tells you exactly what phrases to go after.

Nice.

PRICING

Pin Pro: $29/month
Pin Plus: $49/month

3. PinScriber

For pin copy on the fly

PinScriber is a Chrome extension that automatically generates pin titles and descriptions while you’re uploading pin in Pinterest’s native scheduler.

This is perfect if you prefer manual posting and scheduling using just Pinterest (which is what I do).

This tool was built by the creator of PinClicks, Tony Hill. He has a full suite of even more Pinterest tools too.

4. BlogToPin

For complete Pinterest automation

BlogToPin is a fully automated Pinterest strategy tool.

It scans your site and creates an automated plan with pin designs and copy. It then schedule and posts your pins for you.

Naturally, I was pretty stoked about this tool. So I tried it.

And it was a little wonky when I used it (but that was in 2024, so it’s likely improved since then).

My biggest gruff was the tool would pull ALL the images from my website to use as Pin designs——my logo, my author bio image, all the terrible images from old posts that were not good for Pinterest…

So I felt like the generated designs weren’t up to snuff and I couldn’t use the majority of them.

Maybe this is on me though. I should have given it more time to set things up and (at the time) I was going through a big site refresh and rebrand (so there was a lot of low quality assets that needed updating).

But honestly, what long-time blogger doesn’t have old posts and images that could use some refreshing?

I think I just wanted another option besides pulling existing images from my live site.

Btu again, the tool has probably gotten better over the past year and other creators (notably Anastasia Blogger) have had success with it.

So it’s definitely worth checking out (they have a free trial).

PRICING

Starter: $39/month
Agency: $79/month
Enterprise: $179/month

5. Infography

For automating infographic designs

Infography turns your blog posts into engagement-ready infographics.

And you probably already know this, but infographics perform really well on Pinterest.

As part of my Pinterest strategy, I like to rotate a variety of pin styles for each individual post (how-to’s, quotes, audience callouts, curiosity gaps, infographics…).

So a tool like Infography makes it super easy to make this type of high-engagement pin.

PRICING

Lite: $9/month
Pro: $18/month

6. Tailwind

For advanced scheduling automation

The Tailwind app is an OG in Pinterest automation tools. So they have a lot of features, trust and are an official partner with Pinterest.

I used Tailwind in 2019/2020, but haven’t since. Back then, I liked the Pinterest group board feature, automated scheduling and workflow organization.

They have a ton a feature though for creating pins, scheduling them and then growing your account.

PRICING

Free
Pro: $24.99/month
Advanced: $49.99
Max: $94.99

7. Pin Generator

For making graphics and more

Want to focus on generating (free) pin graphics? Pin Generator is probably worth checking out.

But they also offer full automation, bulk scheduling and AI copywriting for your pins. It’s a full suite.

My biggest gripe (similar to other fully automated systems) is the pin graphics that are created feel sort of…meh.

I’m pretty particular with how things look and feel though.

Since personal branding is critical for me, I take over the actual design portion of my Pinterest strategy.

But honestly, designing pins (in Canva, Kittl, etc) is super quick and easy when you have templates and style clarity (font choices, color palette, image style, etc).

Plus, I only publish a few pins a day, so it’s easy to make those (plus, graphic design is fun for me).

PRICING

Starter: $14.08/month
Pro: $24.92/month
Growth: $41.58/month

8. Alura

For Etsy shop owners

I just discovered Alura and really like the focus of this tool and the Trustpilot reviews are good.

I just haven’t tested myself.

If you’re selling products on Etsy (or plan to as part of your monetization strategy), Alura might be worth looking into.

PRICING

Free
Basic: $11.99/month
Growth: $29.99/month
Professional: $69.99/month

9. Pinterest Native Tools

For simple and basic scheduling

Pinterest has its own suite of (free) automation tools, which is a solid starting point if you’re still finding your workflow.

For example, you can:

And to be honest, if you’re just starting out, it’s best to get into the mud and test things out yourself (without the tools). This is the best way to learn the nuances of Pinterest and what actually works (or doesn’t).

So what do you think: are Pinterest tools worth the investment? Which ones are you using and do they help?

Alright, that’s all I’ve got for you here.

Good luck out there——later ✌️
