AI carousel post maker: Matching images for every slide
Write one prompt per slide and repeat the same backdrop, light and color words in each. That's how the real 3-slide set below was made, and it came back looking like one series, with small differences in tone.
It makes the image for each slide, one at a time. It isn't a carousel editor: add the text, put the slides in order and post them in your app.

Prompt ideas
Carousel prompt sets
Each set repeats one phrase in every slide's prompt. Run the slides one by one with the same style and shape so they look like a set; expect small differences, and re-run any slide that drifts.

How it works
How to make a carousel post with AI images
Your first 3 images are free, and you don't need an account for them.
- 01
Plan the slides
A hook for slide 1, the content slides, and a closing slide.
- 02
Write one prompt per slide
Change the subject; keep one shared phrase for backdrop, light and colors. Use the same style and shape for all.
- 03
Generate, then assemble
Generate each slide, download the PNGs, add your text and post them in order.
Tips
Tips for carousel slides
Repeat a shared phrase
Repeating the same backdrop, light and color words in every prompt usually gives a matching set; results vary.
One style, one shape
Mixing styles or shapes breaks the set. Pick both once and keep them.
Make slide 1 the hook
Use your strongest image first, with room for a title.
Leave space on text slides
Ask for a large empty area where your tip or step will go.
Re-run the odd one out
If one slide doesn't match, run its prompt again. On a paid plan you can make up to 4 versions at once and keep the closest; each uses one paid image.
Good to know
What it doesn't do
Text and templates
It doesn't add text, fonts or slide layouts.
Assembling and posting
It doesn't order, export or post the carousel. Do that in your app.
The exact same object
Each slide is a new image, so a repeated object won't look identical from slide to slide.
Your own product
There's no photo upload, so it can't show your real product.
Does it make the whole carousel, with text?
No. It makes the image for each slide. Add your text and arrange the slides in Instagram, LinkedIn or a design app.
How do I keep carousel slides consistent?
Repeat one phrase about the backdrop, light and colors in every slide's prompt, and use the same style and shape for all of them. The AI images for social media guide shows a real 3-slide set made this way.
How many slides can I make for free?
Your first 3 images are free, which is enough for one 3-slide carousel if every slide works the first time; any retries use paid images. At busy times, free capacity for the whole site can run out. After that, generating uses paid images from an image pack or the Pro plan. Paid plans allow up to 4 images per prompt, and each image uses one paid image. See pricing.
Can the same product appear on every slide?
Not reliably. Each slide is a new image, so a repeated object will change a little from slide to slide. Use different objects that share a look, or use real photos for your actual product.
What size should carousel slides be?
Square (1:1, 1024 × 1024 px) or portrait (4:5, 928 × 1152 px), the same for every slide.
Can I use the slides for a LinkedIn carousel?
Yes. Generate the slides, add your text in a design app, then upload them to LinkedIn in the format it asks for.
