Blog to Pinterest: Turn Any Website Into Pins (Squarespace, Wix, Blogger)

To get a blog onto Pinterest, you need each post turned into Pins: an image, a keyword-led title, a description and a link back to the post. PinBoostr does that for any website with an XML sitemap, which Squarespace, Wix and Blogger all publish automatically, so you do not need WordPress or a plugin. Below: how website sync works on each platform (checked on each platform's own help pages or site on October 29, 2026), Pinterest's free alternatives, and how to set it up.

How PinBoostr reads any website

When you add your website, PinBoostr looks for its sitemap, the list of pages every major site builder publishes for search engines. It checks the Sitemap line in your robots.txt first, then the usual addresses such as /sitemap.xml and /sitemap_index.xml. If your sitemap lives somewhere unusual, paste its address. PinBoostr then lists your pages, checks back for new posts, and Growth Brain picks the ones worth pinning.

Squarespace

Squarespace's help center says it "automatically generates a list of your site's URLs and image metadata", at yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml, or sitename.squarespace.com/sitemap.xml on a built-in domain (Squarespace: verifying your site with Google Search Console). A private or password-protected site has to be public before the sitemap loads, and trial sites have none, so publish the site first.

Wix

Wix's servers generate a sitemap automatically and keep it updated as you edit (Wix: understanding your site's sitemap file). Add sitemap.xml to your domain to see the index, which points to files such as pages-sitemap.xml, blog-posts-sitemap.xml and, for Wix Stores, store-products-sitemap.xml. PinBoostr follows the index into each one, so blog posts and store products both come in.

Blogger

Blogger blogs serve a sitemap at /sitemap.xml and list it in their robots.txt. We checked this on Blogger's own official blog, which runs on Blogger. It works for blogspot.com addresses and custom domains alike.

Medium, and sites you cannot sync

In Pin Lab, pasting a Medium profile link (medium.com/@name) adds its 10 newest stories. For anything else, paste the post links one per line, upload a CSV, or open a post and use the free Chrome extension to make a Pin from the page you are on.

What happens after your site is connected

1. Growth Brain picks posts. It scores your pages and favors new posts, your best performers and seasonal topics coming up.
2. It drafts fresh Pins. Each Pin gets a keyword-led title, description and alt text, and a design from your templates in your brand colors, or one of your post's own images.
3. You approve. Review the week's Pins, edit any of them, and approve them one by one, a day at a time or the whole week. Skipped Pins never publish.
4. It publishes and paces. Approved Pins go out through the official Pinterest API, spaced per link, board and day, with new accounts warming up gradually.
5. It keeps going. New posts are picked up on the next sync, and older posts get fresh Pins instead of the same image again.

Your blog already has the posts. Start free for a month, no card needed: add your site, and PinBoostr drafts Pins you approve before anything is published.

Free ways to get your blog on Pinterest

You do not need a paid tool to start. Pinterest has two free options worth knowing:

• RSS auto-publish. With a claimed website, Pinterest can auto-publish Pins from your RSS feed: up to 200 Pins a day, new items within 24 hours, oldest content first, one board per feed. It uses the image and text in your feed as they are, and it supports RSS 2.x and 1.x but not Atom.
• Manual Pins and scheduling. Design a Pin, write the title and description and schedule it in Pinterest, up to 30 days ahead and 10 scheduled Pins at a time (Pinterest: Schedule Pins).

The free options work if you have time to design or are happy with feed images. The paid route makes sense when a backlog of posts has never been pinned, or when you want several fresh Pins per post without designing them.

Set up your blog for Pinterest, step by step

1. Use a business account and claim your domain. Squarespace, Wix and Blogger all let you add the verification tag. Confirm it with the free website claim checker.
2. Check what Pinterest reads from your posts with the free Rich Pin validator.
3. Make sure your sitemap loads. Open yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml in a browser. If a firewall or "coming soon" page blocks it, PinBoostr cannot read it either.
4. Create boards for your main topics, named the way people search, such as "Easy Weeknight Dinners" rather than "Recipes 2".
5. Connect your site to PinBoostr and approve your first week of Pins.

Mistakes when moving a blog to Pinterest

• One Pin per post, once. Pinterest keeps showing new Pins. A post with one Pin from 2023 has one chance. See what counts as a fresh Pin.
• Landscape images. Blog header images are usually wide. Pins work best tall: see the Pinterest Pin size guide.
• Titles written only for Google. Pinterest search reads the Pin title first, so lead with the phrase people type.
• Everything on day one. Pinning the whole archive at once looks like spam. Spread it over weeks.
