How to convert text to a carousel
From a wall of text to a finished carousel in three steps.
Paste your text
Drop in notes, a Twitter/X thread, a blog excerpt or a LinkedIn post you already wrote. Choose AI split, or Split manually if you want full control.
Convert text to carousel
AI turns your text into a hook slide, one-idea content slides and a call-to-action slide. Manual mode splits on blank lines or --- separators with no AI at all.
Design and download
Edit any slide, pick a template and size, add your name and photo, then download a PDF for LinkedIn or PNG slides for Instagram.
Why use this text to carousel tool?
Built for people who already have the ideas and just need them on slides.
Your words, re-packaged
The AI keeps your ideas, order and voice. It condenses and splits instead of rewriting your point of view.
Works without AI
Split manually on blank lines or --- lines. Handy for threads and drafts that are already in slide-sized chunks.
LinkedIn-ready PDF
LinkedIn carousels are document posts. Download one multi-page PDF, crisp at 2x resolution, ready to upload.
6 carousel templates
Viral Suite gradient, Clean Light, Midnight, Sunset, Mint and Editorial, with slide numbers and a swipe arrow.
Text that always fits
Long slides shrink automatically, and you get a warning if a slide still has too much text.
Private and mobile friendly
Slides are rendered in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, and the editor works on phones.
Carousel best practices
Small choices that decide whether people swipe to the end.
Make slide 1 a promise, not a topic. "7 hooks that doubled my reach" beats "Thoughts on hooks".
Keep one idea per slide and roughly 40 words or fewer. If you need more, split it into two slides.
Aim for 6 to 10 slides. Long enough to earn the swipe, short enough that people reach the end.
Use 4:5 portrait (1080x1350). It takes up the most screen space on both LinkedIn and Instagram.
End with one clear ask: follow, comment or save. Asking for all three dilutes every one of them.
Use the same template across your carousels so followers recognise your posts before they read them.
Add your name and photo so the carousel still credits you when it gets screenshotted or shared.
Write a short post caption that teases the carousel. The caption is what makes people open it.
A LinkedIn and Instagram carousel maker for text you already have
Most carousel makers start with a blank template. This text to carousel tool starts with your writing. Paste a post that did well, a thread, meeting notes or a newsletter section, and it becomes a set of slides with a hook, one idea per slide and a closing call to action. It works as a LinkedIn carousel maker (download a PDF document) and an Instagram carousel maker (download PNG slides) from the same editor.
Repurposing is the fastest way to post more without writing more. A text post that performed well usually does well again as a carousel, because carousels are read slide by slide and keep people on your post longer.
Formatting tips for manual split
- Leave a blank line between slides, or put
---on its own line. - Keep the first line of each block short. It becomes the slide title.
- Thread numbering like "1/" or "2." is removed automatically.
- Lines starting with "- " stay as a list in the slide body.
Starting from a topic instead?
If you only have an idea and no draft, use the AI carousel generator. It writes the slides for you from a topic, audience and tone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about turning text into carousels.
What is a text to carousel generator?
A text to carousel generator takes writing you already have, such as notes, a thread or a post, and turns it into a set of designed slides you can post as a swipeable carousel on LinkedIn or Instagram. This one splits your text into a hook slide, content slides and a call-to-action slide, then lets you style and download them.
How do I convert text to a carousel for free?
Paste your text into the box above, click Convert Text to Carousel, then edit the slides, pick a template, set Post to LinkedIn or Instagram and download. It is free, needs no sign up and adds no watermark.
Can I split my text into slides without AI?
Yes. Switch to Split manually. Every blank line starts a new slide, or you can put --- on its own line between slides to keep several paragraphs together. The first short line of each slide becomes its title. Manual mode works even if the AI service is busy.
How do I post a carousel on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn carousels are uploaded as documents. Set Post to LinkedIn and click Download PDF for LinkedIn, start a new post on LinkedIn, choose Add a document, upload the PDF and give it a title. LinkedIn shows each PDF page as a swipeable slide.
How do I post the carousel on Instagram?
Set Post to Instagram and click Download images for Instagram to save every slide as a PNG or JPG, then create a new Instagram post and select the images in order. Instagram allows up to 20 images in one carousel post.
What size should a LinkedIn or Instagram carousel be?
The default 1080x1350 (4:5 portrait) works well on both LinkedIn and Instagram and fills more of the feed than a square. You can also export 1080x1080 square or 1080x1920 for stories.
Is there a limit on how much text I can paste?
Manual split has no practical limit (up to 20 slides). AI split can read about 4,500 characters of your text at a time. If you paste more, the tool tells you exactly how much will be used, so you can trim it or switch to manual mode.
Will the AI change what I wrote?
It condenses and splits your text so each slide stays short, but it is told to keep your ideas, order and wording where possible and never to invent statistics or stories. You can edit every slide before downloading.
Can I add my name and profile photo?
Yes. Add your name, handle or job title and upload a photo in the Design panel. They appear at the bottom of every slide. Your photo is processed in your browser and is never uploaded.
Is there a watermark?
No. Your PDF and PNG slides are watermark free.
