Pinterest uses computer vision — the ability of software to understand what's in a photo — to automatically cut objects out of images so users can combine them into collage-style mood boards. Since June 2025, advertisers can use a related tool called Auto-Collages, which automatically turns a product catalog into thousands of shoppable collage ads in minutes. A consumer-facing version called "Styled for you" launched in October 2025, mixing saved fashion Pins into AI-curated outfit ideas.

The object cutout feature uses machine learning models trained to identify and isolate specific items within photographs (a process called image segmentation). Auto-Collages extend this to advertiser catalogs: the AI curates, cuts out, and groups products based on outfit combinations, user engagement history, and product similarity — eliminating manual creative production work. Pinterest reported that users save auto-collages at twice the rate of standard product Pins, and that collage-format Pins are roughly three times more likely to be saved than regular Pins overall.
