📈 Carousels are an effective way to boost engagement on your posts, as they are a much more interesting way of presenting information and encouraging interaction. Ever since their first introduction back in 2019, they have instantly became a popular way of delivering information to the audience, as each swipe of a slide counts as an engagement, which is a key factor in boosting your post's visibility in the algorithm.

🛠️ How to use Taplio’s Carousel Generator (Step-by-Step)

  1. Navigate to the AI Tools section in the side menu, and choose the Carousel Generator

  2. Choose how you would like to start, as you have multiple ways of creating a Carousel:

    • From scratch/blank page, and adding the content by yourself

    • Have our AI generate a Carousel for you by providing the input into the field and clicking on the Generate Carousel button

    • Entering either a website URL or a YouTube video URL into the field, and clicking on the Generate Carousel button, which will fill out the slides automatically with text highlighted from the chosen content

  3. Structure your Carousel (Slide-by-slide):

    • Slide 1 - Hook: A bold statement or question to grab attention
      Example: "Why most LlinkedIn Carousels fail (and how to fix yours)"

    • Slide 2-X - Body: Key points or tips, one per slide
      Use bullet points, short phrases and emojis to keep it visual

    • Final slide - CTA (Call to Action): Prompt people to like, comment or follow.
      Example: "Follow me for more LinkedIn growth hacks!"

  4. Design your Carousel

    • Add images by clicking on the image box in the Content tab in the Carousel

    • You are able to format the text from the Settings tab in the carousel

    • Choose the colors either from the pre-created Color Palette, or choose the "Use custom colors" option, where you can then input the exact hex color codes of your preferred colors

    • Once everything is set up, you have the Preview tab where you can preview and scroll through the slides

    • You can also click and hold a slide and then drag it in order to change positions of the slides

    • If you want to remove the changes made, you can click on the Reset tab and start a completely new carousel from scratch



Once you are fully finished creating the Carousel, you have 3 options shown at the bottom of the section:

  1. Save for later
