Carouselz

One canvas,
A perfect carousel.

Carouselz cuts one wide image — or a canvas you design yourself — into evenly split panels that swipe together seamlessly. Post it as a carousel and it reads as one continuous piece.

The toolkit

Made for designers.

To create, you need tools that give you the freedom to make what's on your mind. Carouselz is built with tools that remind you how fun design can be.

Text

New designs with flexible font controls, or dive into the ever-growing set of stylizations for a different look every time.

Draw

Pen-pressure-sensitive drawing tools add what a photo alone can't create.

Mask

Every tool supports masking — for finer customization and creative negative space.

Layers

Every element lives on its own layer. Group layers together, then move and scale them as one.

Inside the app

The parts you'd only find by digging.

Carouselz is a design tool, not a slicer. Most of what it does only shows up once you're working — so here are the three things people tell us they wish they'd found sooner.

Carouselz photo browser, with already-used pictures ticked
It remembers what you've used.

Carouselz browses your library itself, so it can tick the pictures already on your canvas — no more hunting for the one you haven't placed yet. Picks are numbered as you tap them and land in that order. Albums, Last 3 Days, and a Files tab for iCloud Drive.

Carouselz text stylisation controls
Type, six different ways.

Drop cap, headline, wall, cascade, lines, echo — one body of text laid out six ways, each with its own controls. Two outlines and a shadow on top, 縦書き vertical writing, and Japanese faces fetched from iOS so there are more than the system installs.

Carouselz layer manager
Everything is a layer.

Photos, type and ink all stack, group, lock and reorder. Each one takes a blend mode — set type to Multiply over a photograph and it reads as ink on the paper rather than a sticker over it.

The app

Three screens from photo to post.

One to set up your canvas. One to design or position your image. One to export, in order, ready to swipe.

Carouselz home screen — your projects, with size and sync state
Open. Choose your path.

No setup, no account. Design a new carousel from scratch, or cut a wide image you already made.

Carouselz canvas — a wide composition across eighteen panels
Set up. Design or position.

Pick panel shape and count, then either build your composition on the canvas or drop your finished photo in and frame it.

Carouselz export screen — every panel ready to save in order
Export. Post in order.

Preview the swipe, save every panel to Photos in posting order, or share the set directly.

Free for everyone

What if the photo wasn't the hard part?

Cut a finished image — bring in any wide graphic you've already made and slice it into a carousel. No Pro required.

Positioning a finished image inside the Carouselz canvas
Position it.

Bring in a finished wide image, scale and place it inside the canvas, and check the cut lines before you slice.

Exporting a cut image from Carouselz
Export it.

Save every panel to Photos in posting order, or share the set directly — free for every user, always.

Also available on

iPad. Mac. Same seamless cut.

Design bigger, cut faster — Carouselz is a full app on iPad and Mac, not a stretched-out phone screen. Your projects sync across all your devices, so you can just pick up where you left off.

Carouselz Designer on iPad

iPad

A bigger canvas for a bigger idea — build multi-panel carousels with room to actually see them.

Carouselz on macOS

Mac

The full app, at your desk. Design on the big screen, export straight to your phone's Photos.

The ritual

Design once. Never think about the seams again.

Carouselz isn't about editing ten photos. It's about treating the carousel as what it actually is — one image, temporarily interrupted by a swipe.

01

Compose it

Work across the full wide canvas. Text, photos, layout — nothing is confined to a single square while you design.

02

Preview it

See exactly where every cut lands before you commit to anything.

03

Post it

Export in order, straight to Photos or Share. Panel 1 through panel N, done.

Carouselz Pro

Free to design. Pro to publish.

1 min 29

1 min 42

4 · Draw

Pen pressure and smoothing, shapes, the eraser, blend modes, and placing ink exactly across a seam.

How does the free trial work?

Tap Start 7-Day Free Trial on either plan, confirm with your Apple ID, and Carouselz Pro unlocks instantly. Cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions at least 24 hours before the trial ends and you won't be charged.

Where are my carousels stored?

Carouselz doesn't run a server. Your design lives on your device while you're working on it. When you export, the finished panels go to your Photos or wherever you choose to share — entirely under your control.

Does Carouselz collect analytics?

No third-party trackers, no advertising SDKs. Crash reports only come through Apple's built-in TestFlight/App Store mechanism, and only if you opted in at the system level.

Can I export at full resolution?

Yes — panels export at the size you chose in setup: 1080, 1350, 2000 or 3000px per panel, at full quality.

How do I delete my account?

There is no account to delete — Carouselz has no sign-up. Uninstalling the app removes everything.
