TikTok Carousel Maker
The TikTok Carousel Maker turns one topic into a photo post of 3 to 8 slides. AI writes the cover, the slide text, the caption and the hashtags, and you can send the finished post straight to your TikTok drafts. It is for creators, brands and coaches who want to post tips, lists and stories without opening a design app.
Is it free? The cover, the slide text, the caption and the hashtags are free. An AI photo for a slide costs 2 credits, and a failed photo is refunded.
What you can make
- Tip lists and how-to posts, such as "5 ways to save on travel".
- Step-by-step guides with one step per slide.
- Myth versus fact posts, before and after stories and quick reviews.
- Product and service posts with a clear call to action on the last slide.
- A short slideshow video of the same slides with "Make it a video".
How it works
- Open the TikTok Carousel Maker.
- Type one topic. Say who the post is for and what they should learn.
- Choose the number of slides, from 3 to 8. The default is 7.
- AI writes the cover, the text on each slide, the caption and the hashtags. This step is free.
- Edit any word. The previews redraw live while you type.
- Add an AI photo to the slides you want. Each photo costs 2 credits.
- Connect your TikTok account once.
- Send the post to your TikTok inbox drafts.
- Open TikTok, add music and post it from there.

Pricing
- Free: the topic-to-text step, all edits, the caption and the hashtags. You can build a full text carousel for 0 credits.
- AI photos: 2 credits per slide. A 7-slide post with a photo on every slide costs 14 credits. AI photos need purchased credits. Invite credits also work.
- Failed photo: the 2 credits return to your balance automatically.
- Video version: "Make it a video" uses the Slideshow template. A template render costs 15 credits up to 30 seconds, then 4 more for each started 10 seconds. Free accounts can pay template renders with check-in credits.
The editor shows the price before you start. See credits and pricing for plans and packs.
Tips for better results
- Make the topic specific. "3 stretches for people who sit all day" works better than "fitness".
- Put the promise on the cover. The first slide decides if people swipe.
- Keep one idea per slide and cut long sentences while you edit.
- Use AI photos where a picture adds meaning, such as the cover and the final slide, to keep the cost low.
- Keep fewer than 5 drafts waiting in TikTok. Post or delete old drafts before you send a new one.
- Want motion? Use "Make it a video" and see the AI Video Templates guide for the render options.
FAQ
Does it post to TikTok for me?
No. The post goes to your TikTok inbox drafts. You add music and press post in the TikTok app, so nothing goes live without you.
Why did sending to TikTok fail?
Check that your TikTok app is version 31.8 or later. TikTok also holds up to 5 pending drafts at one time, so post or remove older drafts and try again.
What size are the slides?
Every slide is 1080 x 1440 pixels, a 3:4 frame that fills the TikTok photo view. If you want a video instead, use "Make it a video" to get a 9:16 slideshow.
What if I do not like the AI text?
Edit every word. The text, the caption and the hashtags are free, so you can also try a new topic as often as you like.
What happens if an AI photo fails?
The 2 credits go back to your balance automatically.
Who owns the carousel?
You can use the images you create, subject to the terms of service and the usage policy of the model. See privacy, rights and safe use.
