How Pin Magic is different
Most tools you will find when you search for Pinterest software do one of two jobs: they schedule and publish content across social networks, or they help you design graphics. Pin Magic focuses on the step before both: creating the blog images and the Pinterest pins from your content, with far less manual work.
- The Extension generates blog images for each section of your post with Flow, inserts them into WordPress, adds internal links and captures Instagram photos.
- The Studio turns a post link into 10+ pins from 100+ templates, with your own colors, fonts and photos, and exports 1000x1500 PNG files.
That means Pin Magic is not always a replacement for a scheduler. For many bloggers it is the tool that makes the pins, and it can sit next to whichever scheduling approach you prefer.
Doing it by hand vs with Pin Magic
| Task | By hand | With Pin Magic |
|---|---|---|
| Blog images | Search, design or download each one by hand | Generated automatically with Flow |
| Adding images to the post | Upload, place and caption one by one | Inserted into WordPress for you |
| Internal links | Hunt old posts and link them manually | Added automatically |
| Instagram photos | Screenshot, crop, upload | Captured by the extension |
| Designing pins | Start from a blank canvas every time | Pick from 100+ templates, paste a link |
| Pins per post | 1 or 2, if you have the energy | 10+ in minutes |
| Time per post | About 2 hours | About 10 minutes |
Time per post is our own estimate for a typical blog post and will vary by person.

How to choose
- Pick Pin Magic if your bottleneck is making images and pins for your blog posts and you work in WordPress.
- Pick a scheduler or social suite if your main need is publishing to many networks on a calendar, team approvals or reporting.
- Pick a general design tool if you design many different kinds of graphics and want full manual control of every layout.
- Use them together if it suits your workflow: make the pins fast in Pin Magic, then publish them the way you already do.
