How to make an Instagram carousel with editable slides
Carousels earn saves and shares because every slide is a reason to swipe. In Kyanbasu, each slide is a page on one canvas — generate the design with AI, then edit every word and image before exporting the set.
How it works
- Step 1Describe the topic
Start a poster project with your topic and audience. AI drafts a structured layout — headline, supporting copy, and art direction.
- Step 2Add a page per slide
Use the page controls to add one canvas page per slide. Each page keeps its own layout, timing, and content.
- Step 3Edit every word
Poster copy is created as native text layers, not baked into an image — rewrite headlines, swap fonts, and move elements freely.
- Step 4Apply your brand
Brand Kit applies your saved colors, fonts, and logo so every slide stays consistent.
- Step 5Export the set
Export each page at 1080×1080 or 1080×1350, then post manually or organize the set in your Social Queue.

Most AI carousel tools hand you flattened images — one typo and you regenerate the whole slide. Kyanbasu builds carousels as multi-page canvas documents with real text layers, so editing a word never costs another generation.

Frequently asked questions
What size should an Instagram carousel be?
1080×1350 (portrait) gets the most reach; 1080×1080 (square) also works. Set the canvas size once and every page follows it.
Can the AI write the copy too?
AI drafts the layout and starter copy as editable text layers. You refine the words — nothing is locked into a flattened image.
Can I schedule directly?
You can organize planned posts in the Social Queue. Automatic publishing is not currently available — download your slides and post manually.
Will it match my brand?
Brand Kit stores your fonts, colors, and logo so every slide stays on-brand.
