Free Carousel Maker for Instagram & LinkedIn (No Watermark)

Design carousel slides from templates and your own images, then download a PDF for LinkedIn, PNG or JPG images, or a slideshow video. Free, no watermark.

Opening your carousel…

A carousel splits one idea into a few slides that people swipe through. This carousel maker gives you ten templates, five slide sizes and up to 20 slides. Type your text or paste a whole outline, add your own photos and logo, then download a PDF for LinkedIn, PNG or JPG images for Instagram, or a slideshow video. You need no account to design and export, and the slides carry no watermark. Your work is saved in this browser as you go, so you can close the tab and pick it up later.

From an outline to finished slides

Start from a template and write each slide's text. You can add, duplicate, delete and drag slides into a new order, with undo and redo along the way.

To skip the retyping, import plain text: put a line with three dashes (---) between slides and each block becomes one slide.

With a Social media studio account, the AI option can also draft the slides from a topic or from text you paste. It uses your caption credits, and the editor tells you so before it sends anything.

Templates, sizes and branding

Ten templates set the layout, type and colors: Quiet Minimal, Modern Editorial, Studio Notes, Gallery Frame, Color Block, Midnight Focus, Step by Step, Paper Card, Bold Signal and Mono Brief. Switching templates keeps your text, images and settings.

Five sizes cover the common feeds: 1080×1350 (4:5) for LinkedIn, 1080×1080 square, 1080×1440 (3:4) for Instagram and Threads, 1080×1920 (9:16) for Stories and TikTok, and 1920×1080 (16:9) for presentations.

You can change the palette and font, choose standard, emoji, headshot or image layouts, add swipe labels and background patterns, and brand each slide with your name or logo.

Export for LinkedIn, Instagram or video

For LinkedIn, the PDF is the usual format when you post yourself: upload it as a document post and LinkedIn shows each page as a slide.

For Instagram, for scheduled LinkedIn carousels and for the other networks that post carousels as images, download the slides as PNG or JPG files in one ZIP, or a single PNG of the slide you are on.

The video export plays the slides in order as a silent slideshow, saved as MP4 where your browser can record it and as WebM elsewhere. It records in real time, so keep the tab visible until it finishes.

Saved in your browser

Projects save automatically in this browser while you work, and you can keep named drafts and style presets. They stay on this device and are not synced to an account, so export the project file to move it to another computer or to keep a backup.

Images you add are resized in the browser to at most 2048 pixels on the longest side. They are never uploaded to our servers.

Tips for getting the most from this tool

  • Make the first slide state what the carousel gives the reader. It is the only one people see before they swipe.
  • Keep one idea per slide and a few words per line. Most people read carousels on a phone.
  • Use the same template for a series so your carousels are recognizable in the feed.
  • Export the project file as well as the slides if you plan to edit the carousel later.

Frequently asked questions

Is the carousel maker free?

Yes. Designing, importing text, saving drafts and every export work without an account and without a watermark. Only the optional AI drafting needs a Social media studio account, and it uses caption credits.

How many slides can a carousel have?

Up to 20 per project. If you schedule the carousel with Social media studio, an Instagram carousel takes up to 10 images and a LinkedIn one up to 20.

Which format should I download for LinkedIn?

The PDF, if you post on LinkedIn yourself: upload it as a document and each page becomes a slide people can swipe through. To schedule the carousel with Social media studio, download PNG or JPG slides instead and post them as a multi-image post.

Where are my designs saved?

In this browser, on this device. Projects save automatically and are not synced to an account, so export the project file to continue on another computer or to keep a backup.

Can I use my own photos and fonts?

You can add your own PNG, JPG or WebP images up to 20 MB each. Text uses one of six built-in font families; uploading your own font is not supported.
