Questions people actually ask

It publishes on the schedule you set, but only after you have approved each pin. A pin cannot leave the draft state without an explicit approval recorded against your user account. There is no "auto-publish everything" switch, and that is deliberate.

Two reasons. Pinterest holds the account owner responsible for what gets posted, and AI-drafted copy is right most of the time but not all of the time. Reviewing a week of pins takes about two minutes and it is the difference between a tidy account and one you have to clean up.

No. PinSked renders pin images from HTML/CSS templates at 1000×1500 — you pick a template, drop in your text, colours and an optional photo, and it produces the file. You can also upload a finished image if you already have one.

Yes — schedule it to each board you want. The scheduler keeps at least five minutes between any two pins on the same account, caps each account at 25 pins a day, and will not send the same link to the same board twice within seven days, because bursts of repeats are the pattern Pinterest treats as spam.

We recommend one. You connect through Pinterest's own OAuth screen, and Pinterest does not restrict which account type can authorise an app — but analytics are only returned for accounts with business access, so a personal account will connect and publish while showing you very little in the numbers. Converting to a business account is free and takes a minute inside Pinterest.

Not yet. Image pins only at launch. Video is on the list but it is not shipped, so we are not going to claim it.

No. Every new account gets 25 free credits once you verify your email, which is enough to save, schedule and publish your first pins. You only buy credits when those run out, and you are never asked for a card to start.

No. You buy credits and spend them as you save, schedule and extract pins. The minimum purchase is 100 credits for $1, and nothing renews on its own.

Yes. Credits are bought on a slider in steps of 100, and the price per credit drops as you move it up: $0.010 up to 400, $0.009 from 500, $0.008 from 1,000 and $0.007 from 2,000. It is the same product at every level — buying more changes the price, never what you can do. Nothing is tiered, gated or locked behind a plan.

No. Credits stay on your balance until you spend them, so if you take a season off your balance is still there when you come back. If we ever change that we will email you at least 30 days beforehand, and it would not affect credits you had already bought.

You just cannot save, schedule or extract new pins until you top up — nothing already saved is affected, and anything already scheduled keeps publishing normally, since publishing itself is free. We warn you by email when your balance falls to 20% and again to 5% of your last top-up, so you can top up before you hit zero.

Unused credits can be refunded within 14 days of purchase. The full detail is in the refund policy.

Yes. We do not resell AI — you connect a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Groq or Mistral, and every generation runs on your account and your provider bill. That means the AI costs you nothing in credits here, and you are never paying our markup on top of a model. Setting it up takes a couple of minutes and you can change or remove the key whenever you like.

Everything except the AI still works: the full template catalog, brand kits, the approval queue, the calendar, bulk scheduling and analytics. You write the titles and descriptions yourself. The AI buttons stay switched off until a key is connected — nothing silently fails or half-works.

Three things, one credit each: saving a pin as a draft (including its first rendered image), scheduling a pin, and extracting an article from its URL (opening one you have already extracted is free). Editing a saved pin — canvas or text — is free, and so are rescheduling, publishing, analytics and AI copy on your own provider key.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Groq or Mistral. All six draft copy and pin ideas. Only OpenAI and Google Gemini can also generate images, so if that matters pick one of those — the provider list labels each one "Text only" or "Text & images" before you connect it, and the image controls simply do not appear on a text-only key. Template rendering needs no AI key, but saving a rendered draft still uses a credit.

Prices are in USD. Your card issuer converts at their rate, and any local VAT or sales tax is calculated at checkout by our payment provider.

Only what we need to do the job: your account ID, username and the encrypted access tokens. Boards and analytics are read live from Pinterest and cached for minutes, not kept in our database.

Remove it from Connected Accounts, which deletes the stored tokens on our side. You can also revoke access from Pinterest's own security settings at any time.

Yes, as many as you publish to. Each connected account carries its own timezone and its own board list, and they all draw on the same credit balance. There is no per-account charge.

With a Google account or with an email and password — your choice, and you can add two-factor or a passkey to either.

Yes. Every credit charge is a line in your ledger saying what it paid for, and you can export a period as CSV — handy if you bill a client for the work.

Yes. Redeem a code in the app and the credits land on your balance straight away, on the same ledger as a normal top-up.

On servers in the EU, and your uploaded and rendered images are stored there too. Details are in the privacy policy.
