Great for bulk scheduling, OK for pin design
This does a great job of scheduling a lot of pins fairly quickly if you're not overly precious about pin design. There are some fairly useable existing templates, and the custom template designer is good enough to create decent pins if you use a bit of imagination.
The design tools are a bit lacking in options, so you have to use them in a certain way to get stand-out, readable, unique pins. But once you've set up a few templates it'll run really well, albeit with a few glitches along the way. A good tactic is to create design elements in Canva and save them with a transparent background, then import them into the Pin Generator template.
I'd sum this up as giving you a lot more value than you're paying for with the lifetime deal, but don't expect it to do everything you want.

May 9, 2024Thanks for the review James.
If you want to import designs from Canva, you can use one of these methods:
Option 1
1) Export any design in Canva as an SVG .
2) Create a new template in Pin Generator.
3) Add an SVG layer and upload the exported SVG file.
Option 2
1) Export any design in Canva as an image.
2) Create a new template in Pin Generator.
3) Add an image layer and upload the image file.
Both of these options will import the template as a single layer. So I recommend leaving out any text or logo that you want to be dynamic from the Canva template. Then add those layers in Pin Generator to make the templates use dynamic layers in the template.
I am working on a way to separate each element into it’s own layer which will be ready soon.
I know it isn't a perfect solution but I will be working on it to make it better soon.
Kind regards,
Ollie
