Instagram Carousel Maker
Type a topic or a short outline and get a five-slide carousel as PNGs, in one of three looks. Free: one carousel a day, sign in for more.
How it works
Type a topic or a short outline, pick one of three looks, and get a five-slide Instagram carousel as 1080 x 1350 PNGs: a cover, three content slides and a closing call to action. It is free, with no watermark and no account. You get one carousel a day; sign in for five. The app version adds editing, restyle and scheduling.
Type your topic, or paste a short outline of the points you want to cover.
Pick a look: Notebook Notes, Whiteboard or Roadmap Sheet.
Press Make my carousel and wait about a minute while each slide is drawn.
Download the slides one by one or as a ZIP, then post them in order as a carousel.

What does the free carousel maker do?
It runs the same pipeline as the carousel builder inside ReelDrop. A model first writes the deck from your text: a short cover title, three content slides with two short points each, and a closing slide that asks viewers to follow, save or share. Then each slide is drawn as an image in the look you picked, and you get the five slides as PNGs, sized 1080 x 1350 so they fit Instagram's 4:5 feed without cropping.
A sixth card, "Made with ReelDrop", is added at the end. The five slides themselves carry no watermark, so leave the card out of the post if you would rather not use it.
How many carousels can I make for free?
One a day for each connection, with no account. Signing in raises that to five a day. The limit resets at midnight UTC. If the outline or an image fails on our side, it does not count against you, and you can retry a single slide without starting again.
The limit exists because every slide is a paid image generation. The free tool covers the first carousel; if you make them every week, the app is built for that.
How many slides should an Instagram carousel have, and what size?
Five is a good size for a first carousel: a cover that makes the promise, three slides that keep it, and one that asks for the follow or the save. Instagram allows up to 20 slides, but people swipe less far than you hope, so make every slide earn the next swipe. The slides here are 1080 x 1350 (4:5), the portrait size that takes the most room in the feed.
What does the app version add?
The free tool gives you images and nothing else: you cannot change a word on them. In ReelDrop you can edit the text on any slide, regenerate one slide, restyle the whole deck from a library of themes, choose slide counts from 1 to 10, set your brand colours, delete the footer card, and schedule the carousel to publish to Instagram through the official API. AI carousel images are on the Creator plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Instagram carousel maker really free?
Yes. One carousel a day with no account and no card, five a day when you sign in. The slides have no watermark; the only branding is a separate "Made with ReelDrop" card at the end that you can leave out.
Does it use AI?
Yes. A language model writes the slide text from your topic, and an image model draws each slide in the look you chose. Check the text before you post: AI can state something confidently that is not true for your niche.
Can I edit the slides?
Not here. The slides come out as finished PNGs. To change the wording, regenerate with a clearer topic, or use the carousel builder in the app, which edits text, restyles the deck and schedules it.
What size are the slides?
1080 x 1350 pixels, the 4:5 portrait ratio, saved as PNG.
Why did a slide fail, and does retrying cost me?
Image generation sometimes times out or gets declined by the model. Press Try again on that slide. A failed attempt does not use up your carousel, and each carousel allows a few retries.
Do you keep my text or my carousels?
The topic is sent to our servers and the AI provider to write and draw the slides, and the finished slides are returned to your browser. They are not saved to an account or published anywhere.
Can I post the carousel straight to Instagram?
Not from this tool. Download the slides and post them yourself, or use ReelDrop's scheduler, which publishes carousels through the official Instagram API.
