Crafting visually engaging carousels for social media can be daunting for non-designers. aiCarousels.com simplifies the process, allowing users to boost their online presence without design expertise, while AI helps to write the content.
Hey there, everyone! š
I'm incredibly excited to introduce you to my latest project: aiCarousels.com
I've created this tool as part of a personal challenge to Build and Launch a SaaS in 10 Days (You can binge-watch the entire saga right here šæ https://www.youtube.com/@fer_MOM...)
The mission was clear: to make it easy for anyone to create engaging social media carousels, especially for non-designers who might have trouble customizing templates.
Templates can be tricky. They look great at first but can be hard to personalize. Users might struggle when they add their own text, change font sizes, or re-position elements, leading to a final design that isn't what they hoped for.
I came up with a solution: a tool that automates some of the design work and limits how much users can edit. This makes it harder for users to mess up the design, while the AI helps them write the content.
Sure, there are still some rough edges, and the paint is a bit fresh in places, but I think it's in a pretty good shape for its first big reveal. Here are some of the features you can look forward to:
š§ AI Carousel Generator: Just set the number of slides, select your topic and let the AI write the content for your carousel.
š Text Auto-Resize: With the Auto-Resize feature, your text will always look just right, saving you time and effort with each edit.
š¤ No Design Expertise Required: Unlike traditional design tools, the UI is accessible to anyone, regardless of your design experience.
šØ Predefined Colors & Fonts: No more guesswork about what looks good together.
š Save & Load Custom Presets: Save your unique designs as templates for future use.
š± LinkedIn and Instagram Ready: Export your carousels in high-resolution PDF or JPG sequence formats, depending on your needs.
š° Mostly Free to Use: Most features are on the house, including the option to remove the watermark for a professional look.

Your product looks great! As a carousels enthusiast, I can't wait to try it out š¤ Congratulations on building your product in such a short span of time and congratulations on its succesfull launch!
Nice! I'm going to have my content creators try this and see if we can move away from Canva and save some time and $! It looks slick but it seems like the creation process too is super straightforward and simple! @rajeev_kaviskar you might wanna give this a try! š š
@rajeev_kaviskar@robinsinghvi That sounds amazing! Thanks for the kind words. Give it a go and let me know what you think when you have a chance to try it.
Carousels are such a big thing these days, I'm always speaking to my bro about just making our own generator. This however, looks amazing!
Looking forward to giving this a spin thanks!
I never had a chance to create a carousel before but after testing your tool I can see why it makes sense, it's very simple to do! way simpler than Canva and other tools!
Fantastic product, Fernando!
I like the colours, ease of use, the workflow, and seeing changes in real-time.
Your understanding of user experience is inspiring!
Beautiful! I was looking for a tool like that, even though I can use figma for it. Your tool helps to make it quick, which is super beneficial. I'd like to have more presets so that I don't need to think about the design at all.
@katerina_danilova Thanks! That's exactly what I am aiming for. It may not be the best design tool, but it's the fastest way to create good-enough looking carousels. By the way, there's a randomize button you can press until you combination that you like, in case you don't want to bother with having to adjust each setting individually.
Very cool! Congrats on the launch Fernando. Super inspiring to see you bring this project together so quickly and embrace the idea of speed to market using tools like Outseta!
@geofftroberts thanks a lot, Geoff! This is my first SaaS product and honestly, I don't think I would've made it through the 10-day challenge without Outseta 2.0. Setting up the payment process took me less than an hour! It was a total breeze.
Nice. We know that carousel performs really well. But it's quite time-consuming to make. This seems like it will speed up the process! Good work on the 10day challenge. I guess you do ship fast, and not wait for perfection š
@hai_ta1 Thank you!!! Yes, I just want to see if it's worth to keep going and put more time into it. Also, by not spending too much time on an idea, I feel it is easier to move on to the next thing if it fails, because I don't get personally attached to it.
š Whoa, aiCarousels.com is like a design genie granting our carousel wishes! š§āāļøāØ I love how you tackled the challenge of personalization for non-designers. The AI Carousel Generator and Text Auto-Resize are pure genius! šš” Plus, the predefined colors and fonts take the guesswork out of creating visually stunning carousels. Are there any plans to expand the platform to support other social media platforms in the future? Keep up the fantastic work! ššØ
@shivani_shendkar thanks a ton! I don't really have concrete future plans, but I guess I'll keep putting most of my energy into LinkedIn and Instagram.
I just tried your product and I would say you have done an awesome job building this and that too in just 10 days. Lot of things to learn for me as well. Great job and best of luck. Deserve to be the Product of the Day.
@rogeriotaques Thanks! Yes, I did a 10-day personal challenge and I am sharing it on YouTube, Twitter, and Medium. There's a recap of the previous days on Medium, and the post-launch video will be the 10th one.
This is a gorgeous and incredibly useful process to automate what's usually rather tedious - creating social media carousels / slides. The editor is so slick and sophisticated I'm rather blown away that it's the creation of just one person!
I just paid a content creator on Fiverr to make me a load of carousels and ngl the stuff that your product has made for me is much better. Oh I wish I found this a couple weeks ago
@radu_tudosescu it's incredibly effing nice to hear that because until the product was released, I had no idea if it would be useful for people, especially since I haven't had the time to test it out with real users. Your comment, along with others, makes me think that that the product idea is finally validated!
@niroshnr it doesn't. Like most AI writing assistants, they're designed to help you with an initial draft to get you started. You can then edit and personalize it as you need.
@sebsierra thanks a lot for giving such thoughtful feedback. I REALLY appreciate it. I've taken note of your suggestions, but it seems like some of them are more suited for a different kind of user than the ones I'm currently targeting. I'm focusing on non-technical, non-designers at the moment. I don't want to overwhelm them with too many design choices.
My aim is to offer just the right amount of options that allow users to create attractive designs that represent their personal or company brand, without making things too complicated.
That being said ... I'm still figuring out if my approach does really works for my target audience. BTW the last video of the #challenge will be going live tomorrow, where I'll be sharing all the launch results, but I am going to keep posting regular updates on Twitter. Thanks again for the follow and all the support!!!
I've been waiting for something like this! I'm definitely going to give this a shot and share my experience. Have fumbled around with carousels, so this looks cool.
@ben_corbett2 thank you! Please let me know once you've had the opportunity to test it. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and pinpoint any areas that need improvement.
