About PinPilot
PinPilot is a Pinterest tool for online stores. You paste a product page or collection link and it produces a batch of vertical pin creatives from your own images, in several angles such as lifestyle, detail and offer-led, with titles and descriptions written the way people search and save on Pinterest. It keeps the 2:3 format so pins look native to the feed.
Pins can be generated in batches from a catalog, approved quickly and scheduled across boards over weeks, so the store stays visible while the owner handles other work. Analytics show saves, outbound clicks and momentum by campaign, to help decide which products and angles to keep pushing. Higher tiers connect more Pinterest accounts for agencies and multi-brand teams.
It is aimed at Shopify and other ecommerce stores that want discovery traffic without designing each pin by hand. A free trial is offered and pricing is on the site, which also has a blog, a demo and an FAQ.
