Outline the video in slides
Watch your video and write down each separate point in one short line. A video with five tips usually becomes a carousel of six or seven slides: a cover, the tips and a closing slide.
If a point needs more than two sentences, split it across two slides rather than shrinking the text.
Capture clean images
Pause your original footage on sharp frames and export stills from your editor, which gives better quality than screenshots of a posted video. Or take fresh photos of the same setup.
Pick frames with no motion blur and leave space for text, for example a plain wall or table area.
Design readable slides
Use one font family, large text and strong contrast between text and background. Keep each slide to a headline plus one or two short lines.
Make the first slide a hook that promises value, like '5 fixes for a slow phone', and number the slides so people know there is more to swipe.
Export and post in the right size
Check the current recommended photo carousel sizes for the platform you are posting on, since vertical and square layouts are both common. Keep all slides the same size so nothing crops oddly.
On the last slide, add a summary or ask a question to spark comments. Link the full video in the caption for people who prefer watching.
Frequently asked questions
Which apps can I use to design slides?
Any free design app with templates works, and even a presentation app can export slides as images. Pick one and save a reusable template.
Do carousels need music?
Some platforms let you add sound to photo posts, which can help reach. It is optional; the text should work on its own without audio.
