TikTok carousel generator
A TikTok carousel generator builds the images for a photo post, the format TikTok shows full screen with a swipe and a sound attached. This one exports at 1080x1920 so the slides fill the screen instead of sitting in a letterboxed square.

5 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.
How TikTok photo posts differ from a feed carousel
A TikTok photo post is full screen and vertical, sits in the same For You feed as video, and carries a sound. People swipe it with a thumb at the same speed they scroll video, so the slides have to work at a glance and in the dark.
That changes the writing. There is no polite scanning here. Big type, one idea, high contrast. A slide that would be fine on LinkedIn at 4:5 looks tiny and chatty when it is competing with video.
The upside is that photo posts often travel further than video for the same effort, because they are cheap to make and the algorithm treats them like any other post. A deck of ten screens can be written in the time a single clip takes to film.
TikTok photo carousel size and limits
Use 1080x1920, which is 9:16, so the slide fills the screen. This generator preselects it. A square image gets shown with large empty bands on a phone, which is the fastest way to look like a reposted Instagram graphic.
A photo post takes up to 35 images. That is far more than anyone should use. Somewhere between six and twelve keeps the pace, and the ten slide ceiling here means the same deck also fits Instagram if you want to post it twice.
Leave the bottom third fairly clear. The caption, the sound name and the interface buttons all sit there, and text underneath them is text nobody reads.
Sound, captions and the first frame
Pick the sound before you write. A trending sound sets the pace people expect to swipe at, and it decides whether your slides should be punchy or slow.
The first frame is the whole post as far as reach goes. Make it a claim, a number or a question, in the largest type you can get away with.
Captions are short on TikTok, so do not hide anything important there. If it matters, it belongs on a slide.
Before you export
- Export at 9:16 so the slides fill a phone screen instead of floating in the middle.
- Write for a moving thumb: a handful of large words per slide, nothing subtle.
- Keep the bottom third clear of text, because the caption and buttons live there.
- Choose the sound first and let it set the rhythm of the deck.

— 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
