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! 👋
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 🍿 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:
🧠 AI Carousel Generator: Just set the number of slides, select your topic and let the AI write the content for your carousel.
📏 Text Auto-Resize: With the Auto-Resize feature, your text will always look just right, saving you time and effort with each edit.
🤗 No Design Expertise Required: Unlike traditional design tools, the UI is accessible to anyone, regardless of your design experience.
🎨 Predefined Colors & Fonts: No more guesswork about what looks good together.
🔐 Save & Load Custom Presets: Save your unique designs as templates for future use.
📱 LinkedIn and Instagram Ready: Export your carousels in high-resolution PDF or JPG sequence formats, depending on your needs.
💰 Mostly Free to Use: Most features are on the house, including the option to remove the watermark for a professional look.

This is where you come in! I'm curious to know what you think, any suggestions you have, or if you have any questions about the product. Thank you for your amazing support! 🙌
Leave a comment down below and let's start chatting! 💬
@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!
@laurentiu_stefan that is exactly the target audience. And I want to avoid overwhelming users with design options. Social media posts have such a short life span, that if you are not selling design services, it's not worth spending too much time perfecting them.
Hi Fernando,
I’ve been following you and your challenge from day 1. Excellent progress and a sexy add-on with the AI feature to help you with the content.
Here are some thoughts 💭 that have been circling in my mind as a potential user of this tool:
- It would be great to have gradients for the background. That’s also a way to play with the transitions between pages without having shapes or graphic elements.
- In case we want to have those shapes/graphic elements for transitions, it would be nice to have the option to upload a set of SVG files that you can use throughout the carousel. This way, you can customize your carousels for specific brand guidelines.
Bonus 🤩: Once I finish the Carousel on your platform, it would be an excellent pro-mode feature to have the PDF fully editable so you can open it in Figma (or any other design tool) and tweak things here and there.
I’m looking forward to the upcoming days and discovering how you work not only on the design and development of this product but also on the business and strategy to make it profitable and find the market fit for it.
Happy pivoting days ahead!
@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!!!
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!
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.
🎉 Whoa, aiCarousels.com is like a design genie granting our carousel wishes! 🧞♂️✨ I love how you tackled the challenge of personalization for non-designers. The AI Carousel Generator and Text Auto-Resize are pure genius! 🙌💡 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! 🚀🎨
@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.
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.
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!
@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.
Your product looks great! As a carousels enthusiast, I can't wait to try it out 🤗 Congratulations on building your product in such a short span of time and congratulations on its succesfull launch!
