How to make an Instagram carousel (free, 10 slides in minutes)
Carousels drive the highest saves and shares on Instagram. Kyanbasu lets you generate a 10-slide carousel from a single brief — on-brand, hook-first, designed to keep thumbs swiping.
How it works
- Step 1Describe the topic
One line: '10 ways to grow on YouTube in 2026'. AI drafts slide-by-slide copy plus a hook and CTA.
- Step 2Pick a layout
Editorial, bold, minimal, or photo-led. Brand Kit applies your colors and fonts automatically.
- Step 3Edit any slide
Tap to edit copy or image on any slide. Reorder, duplicate, or regenerate individual slides.
- Step 4Export all 10 slides
One-click export at 1080×1080 (square) or 1080×1350 (portrait, recommended for reach).
- Step 5Schedule or post
Connect Buffer, Later, or Meta Business Suite — or download and post directly.

The Instagram algorithm rewards saves and dwell time. Carousels generate both because each slide is a reason to swipe. Templates here are tuned for hook-driven openings and CTA-driven closers.
