AI Instagram Carousel Generator
AI writes the slides, your brand kit styles them, and you export 4:5 images, or a GIF or MP4 for Reels. Built around how Instagram actually treats swipes: one idea per slide, a hook up front.
1080×1350 or square · Up to 20 images · No watermark on paid
Same generator. Different post.
Instagram wants a stack of images. LinkedIn wants a PDF document. Mixing those up is why carousels look wrong in the feed.

Topic to swipeable post.
Three steps from a rough idea to slides that are ready for the feed.
Start from what you have
Instagram carousels do well when slide 1 is a single claim, not a logo. Give the AI whatever you have to work from.
- A topic or a rough idea
- A blog URL or a YouTube link
- A TikTok or Reel link
- A thread you already wrote
AI writes for the swipe
Copy is written for scrolling thumbs, and your brand fonts and colors are applied automatically.
- A hook on slide 1
- Short lines and one idea per slide
- A clear last slide to close it out
- Your brand kit applied to every slide
Export the way IG expects
Pick the format that matches how you want to post.
- Images for a multi-image feed post, in 4:5 or square
- GIF or MP4 if you want the same sequence as a Reel
- Up to 20 slides per carousel
What a carousel that gets swiped looks like
A simple structure keeps people swiping, and every slide stays editable so you can reorder, rewrite or remove any of them.
- Slide 1 is one clear claim, not a logo
- Each slide after that holds a single idea in short lines
- The last slide asks for one thing, like a save or a follow
- Aim for 7 to 10 slides. Instagram allows up to 20
Built for how Instagram handles swipes
Everything this generator does for Instagram, and where to go for the rest.
Multi-image posts
The organic carousel in the feed. This is the default export.
Reels from slides
GIF or MP4 of the same sequence. Different algorithm, same design.
Not a LinkedIn PDF
If you need a document post, use the LinkedIn generator instead.
LinkedIn carouselsCaptions separately
Slide copy is not a caption. Use the caption generator after you export.
Caption generatorQuestions
What size is an Instagram carousel?
1080×1350 (4:5 portrait) works best because it takes up the most room in the feed. Square 1080×1080 is also supported.
How many slides can an Instagram carousel have?
Up to 20 images. Most carousels that perform well land between 7 and 10 slides, with one idea per slide.
Can I turn my carousel into a Reel?
Yes. Export the same sequence as a GIF or MP4 and post it as a Reel. The design stays the same, only the format changes.
