Frequently asked questions
Is CarouselCanvas free to use?+
Yes. You can open the editor and start building a carousel without paying anything first.
What sizes can I export?+
Instagram Square (1080×1080), Instagram Portrait (1080×1350), and Instagram Story (1080×1920). Pick a size before you start designing.
What about LinkedIn?+
Export your slides as PNGs, then upload them together as a multi-image post — LinkedIn lets people swipe through those just like Instagram does.

PNG. Export a single slide, or all of them at once as a zip file.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. CarouselCanvas runs entirely in your browser. No downloads, no plugins.
Can I use my own colors and fonts?+
Yes. Pick from a few built-in palettes, or set your own background, text, and accent color per slide.
