If you just want to try it without signing up, I put together a lightweight version here:

It’s more limited, but lets you generate a few carousels quickly.

Hey, I just gave it a try and it looks like a really good project. I tried the free version and generated one post, I used the URL option for my app https://www.sneakersbook.com/ and detected clearly the whole idea of the project (I guess this is better if the site is optimized).
As a free user with 10 generation for testing I feel like my first one got a bit wasted in terms that there is no options for settings tone, style or at least I didn't see this. Having in mind that the product is based on generation quantity, a little option for customization will be nice.
I used only the main workflow for first time generation so this is my humble take.
Looks great and its a really nice idea.
Good Luck

I am a solo builder and wanted to share a tool I’ve been working on: Crafto. It turns text, webpages, documents, and images into carousel posts for platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and X.
The goal is to turn plain text into engaging visuals to help marketers, educators, and influencers boost their content engagement, grow audience, and save hours of work.
This idea came from my previous work on using AI to summarize documents, meetings, blogs, and articles. While exploring that direction, I found that pure text summaries still feel a bit plain, so decided to add visual elements. I first tried infographics, but found them hard to read on mobile, especially when they have dense text and complex graphics. What I ended up is a carousel generator that combines text information with simple layout, color, and images — trying to balance text density and visual appeal, as I found whose well-designed carousels on LinkedIn and Instagram easily grab my attention.
Compared to static templates in tools like Canva, I wanted to automate the text-to-carousel generation process so a user doesn’t need to do all the manual work of picking templates, turning their long text into short summary, and filling in the text boxes. While a user can still edit the result in Crafto, I hope it would be minimal as the majority of the work is automated.
Crafto currently uses a mix of AI and curated templates. I also want to experiment with fully AI-generated carousels (without templates) to see how they compare in quality and user preference.
