WordPress Pinterest plugins — every post becomes Pins, automatically

Three free plugins on WordPress.org. Publish a post and a Pin is built from it and scheduled for you; design the Pin image without leaving wp-admin; and let readers save your pictures to Pinterest with one press. Free plan, no card, 3 Pins a day.

How to auto-pin WordPress posts to Pinterest

Three steps, and only the first one is anything you have to remember. Once a Pinterest plugin for WordPress is installed and connected, the loop runs on its own: you publish, it pins.

Install from WordPress.org

Search for it in Plugins → Add New, or install it from the directory. Plain PHP, no build step, no bundled tracker.

Connect once

The Scheduler asks for a free Burnpedia key. The other two work immediately, and only ask if you want them to post for you.

Publish as usual

Write the post and hit publish. The Pin is built from that post and queued for a sensible hour — nothing else to remember.

The three WordPress Pinterest plugins

They are independent — install one, or all three. One is a WordPress Pin scheduler, one is a Pinterest image maker that runs inside your dashboard, and one is a save button (the “Pin it button” readers expect on a picture) with its own click analytics. Each is on WordPress.org under GPLv2 or later, with no bundled tracker, no build step and no minified blob: what the directory reviews is what runs on your site.

Burnpedia Pin Scheduler for Pinterest

Every post you publish becomes a scheduled Pin.

Install from WordPress.org

Writing the post is the work. Remembering to pin it, three days later, is the part that quietly stops happening. This plugin closes that gap: when a post goes live it builds a Pin from that post’s image, title and link and hands it to your Burnpedia queue, on the board you picked, at a sensible time — without you opening Pinterest.

  • Pins automatically on publish, or only the posts you tick.
  • Uses the featured image, or the first image in the post — and designs a cover from the title when there is none.
  • One fixed board, a board per category, or a board named after your site. A board that does not exist yet is created for you.
  • UTM tags on the link, retries when something goes wrong, and an Activity log saying what was skipped and why.

Burnpedia Image Maker – Social Image Designer with 130 Templates

Design the Pin image without leaving WordPress.

Install from WordPress.org

Making a Pin is usually a trip to another website: export the photo, upload it somewhere, fight a template, download it, come back. This plugin puts the whole thing inside wp-admin. Open a post and the canvas is already composed — the featured image in place, the post title as the headline, a 2:3 canvas, the permalink attached. Change what you want and download it.

  • Opens from the post you are already writing — no upload step and no second tab.
  • A template gallery, previewed against your own photograph.
  • A brand kit: your colours and your font, saved once and applied to every image.
  • Download it, or save it straight into your Media Library.

Burnpedia Image Save Button Analytics

Let readers save your images, and see which ones they chose.

Install from WordPress.org

A reader is looking at a photograph in your post and would happily save it to Pinterest. Most of the time nothing on the page invites them to, so they scroll on. This plugin puts a small save button on the images in your posts — on hover on a desktop, always visible on a phone — and counts the presses, so you can see which of your images readers actually choose to save.

  • A save button on every content image, opening Pinterest’s own save window with your headline and a link back to the post.
  • A private count of every press, per post, for the last 30 days and for all time.
  • The right file gets saved: WordPress serves several sizes of every image, and the button hands over the big one.
  • Optionally hand Pinterest a tall graphic the reader never sees, instead of the photograph they pressed.

What the free account gives you

The Scheduler publishes through Burnpedia, so it needs an account. The free one is genuinely free — no card, no trial clock — and it publishes up to 3 Pins a day, which is enough for most blogs that publish a few times a week. Every feature of every plugin works on it.

Paid plans raise the daily allowance and add AI-written Pin copy and AI images. Nothing in the plugins changes when you upgrade — see pricing, or the REST API the plugins are built on.

WordPress Pinterest plugin FAQ

Are the plugins really free?

Yes. All three are on wordpress.org under GPLv2 or later, with nothing locked, time-limited or waiting for an upgrade. The Scheduler publishes through a Burnpedia account, and a free Burnpedia account publishes up to 3 Pins a day. Paid plans raise that allowance and add AI copy and AI images; the plugins behave identically either way.

Do I have to give the plugin my Pinterest password?

No, and you never should — to us or to anyone. You authorise Pinterest once inside Burnpedia, on Pinterest’s own login screen, over the official Pinterest API. The plugin only ever talks to your own WordPress site and to Burnpedia.

Do the plugins track my visitors?

No. None of the three sends visitor analytics anywhere. The Save Button counts presses on your own images and stores those counts in your own database, on your own site, and shows them only to you.

Can I use them on a client site?

Yes. They are GPL, so you can install them on as many sites as you like. Each site connects with its own key, which you can revoke on its own from your dashboard.

What happens when I hit the daily allowance?

Nothing breaks and nothing is lost. The plugin recognises the refusal, stops asking, and waits for the allowance to reset — it does not burn retries on a limit it knows about. The Activity log says exactly that, per post.

Do I need to write code?

No. If you would rather build your own integration, every plugin here is a client of the same public REST API, and its source is a working reference implementation in PHP.
