Photo carousel generator
A photo carousel keeps one picture behind the whole deck, and lets any single slide swap in its own. It is the plainest way to put words over images without opening a design tool, and it is the format most feeds are built around.
This photo sits behind every slide. Zoom in and the position sliders move the picture inside the frame. Any slide can have its own photo instead, uploaded with that slide under its text.

TikTok5 slides is over the limit on Bluesky (4) and X (Twitter) (4). Those posts get rejected rather than trimmed, so hide or remove some, or split the carousel across more than one post.
This carousel lives in this browser. An account keeps it.
Everything you have typed here is stored on this device only, so it is gone the moment you clear your browser or switch to your phone. With a PublishQ account it belongs to you instead:
- Your carousels are saved, so you can come back and edit them.
- The images you upload stay in your media library.
- Your logo is stored once and reused on every carousel.
- Brand name, handle, and colours stop being retyped.
- Publish straight to every social account you connect — no downloading, no second tab.
What makes text on a photo readable
Contrast, not cleverness. The template lays a gradient under the words so the type survives a busy picture, which is the single thing most photo posts get wrong. Text placed straight onto a bright sky disappears at feed size, no matter how good the font is.
Choose photographs with somewhere quiet to put the words. A picture with an empty corner is worth more here than a technically better shot with detail everywhere.
One photo for the deck, or one per slide
A single photo behind every slide holds the deck together and looks deliberate. Use it when the pictures are interchangeable, for a quote series or a set of tips over one scene.
Swap in a photo on individual slides when the image is the point: a before and after, a product from three angles, a trip in order. The template mixes both, so a deck can share one background and still give two slides their own picture.
Upload sizes get handled for you. Pictures are scaled down in the browser before export, so a photo straight off a camera does not have to be resized first.
Before you export
- Pick photos with an empty area where the headline will sit.
- Keep headlines to a few words. Long text over an image reads as a caption, not a hook.
- Use one photo for the whole deck unless a slide genuinely needs its own.
- Check the first slide as a thumbnail. That is the only frame most people judge.

— me 👋
Hi, I'm Alexandro 👋
I left my Software Engineer role at Amazon to build tools that solve real problems — the kind big companies ignore because they read spreadsheets instead of using their own products.
I was spending over an hour daily just scheduling 2 shorts across 3 platforms — logging in, reformatting, uploading one by one. That felt broken. So I built PublishQ . Now I create 4 shorts in 3 minutes and schedule them to 4 platforms in under 30 seconds.
PublishQ is bootstrapped. No investors, no vanity metrics. I build what actually helps you — because I use it every day myself.
Thank you,
Alexandro
