Carousel Maker

Paste your text and watch it become a swipeable carousel — designed slides, in your words, in about a minute.

By the BeadCalc team · Last updated: October 2026

The maker runs entirely in your browser: your text is never uploaded, and the PNG, ZIP and PDF files are generated on your device. No sign-up, no watermark.

Carousels are the posts people actually finish: a hook on the cover, one idea per slide, a clear ask at the end. This maker takes the design work out of it. Paste your text, and every blank-line-separated paragraph becomes a slide — the first line of the paragraph becomes that slide’s title. Pick one of 16 bright styles, and every slide, from cover to closing call-to-action, comes out in the same visual voice.

You stay in control after the split. Click any thumbnail to jump to a slide, edit its text and watch the layout update instantly, drag slides to reorder them, and add a dedicated closing slide with your own call-to-action button text when the post needs one. Your handle rides along on the slides, so a re-shared carousel still points back to you.

Everything is rendered with Canvas on your device at full export resolution — there is no server, no upload and no queue. Export the current slide as a PNG, download the whole set as a ZIP, or save a multi-page PDF for LinkedIn and document-style posts.

How to make a carousel

  1. Paste your text into the box — one idea per paragraph, paragraphs separated by a blank line. The first line of each paragraph becomes the slide title.
  2. Press the split button: your text turns into slides, the first one styled as the cover.
  3. Pick one of the 16 styles and a size: square 1080×1080, portrait 1080×1350, or wide 1200×627.
  4. Fine-tune slide by slide: click a thumbnail to edit its text, drag thumbnails to reorder, and add a closing (CTA) slide if you want a final ask.
  5. Export — the current slide as a PNG, the full set as a ZIP, or everything as a multi-page PDF.

What the maker does for you

The design decisions that make a carousel look intentional are baked into every style, so the output is consistent even if you never touch a setting.

Frequently asked questions

How does the text become slides?

By paragraphs. Paste your text, and every block separated by a blank line becomes one slide; the first line of the block is treated as its title and the rest as the body. One idea per paragraph gives the cleanest result — long blocks make crowded slides.

Which size should I choose?

Portrait 1080×1350 (4:5) takes up the most vertical space in the Instagram and Xiaohongshu feeds and is the best default for swipe-through posts. Square 1080×1080 is the safest all-rounder. Wide 1200×627 matches link-card proportions for X and LinkedIn.

What is the difference between the ZIP and the PDF export?

The ZIP contains every slide as a separate full-resolution PNG — that is what you upload to Instagram, Xiaohongshu or X, which build the carousel from individual images. The PDF bundles the same slides into one multi-page document, the format LinkedIn document (carousel) posts use.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The maker is a single page that runs entirely in your browser: the splitting, the Canvas rendering and the PNG, ZIP and PDF generation all happen on your device. There is no server receiving your text, and the maker keeps working offline after the first load.

Does it cost anything, and is there a watermark?

It is free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no limit on how many carousels you make. The only name on your slides is the handle you type in yourself.

Can I change the order or fix one slide afterwards?

Yes. Click a thumbnail to jump to that slide and edit its title or body — the design updates as you type, and the layout follows the slide type (cover, content or closing). Drag thumbnails sideways to reorder slides before you export.
