Editing Carousels: Text, Photos, Style, Download

Every Content Kit generates a set of carousel slides ready for Instagram and LinkedIn. You can edit the text on each slide, put your own photo on any slide, restyle the whole set with one click, and download single slides or the full set as a zip.

Open the carousel editor

From your Content Kit detail page, find the Carousel tile in the Visual Content section (it shows a stack-of-slides preview with a slide count). Click it to open the Carousel Editor.

Tip: If you don't see a carousel tile, the kit is still generating. Carousels are produced in the background and appear as soon as they're ready, no refresh needed.

Navigate between slides

Use the left and right arrows on the slide preview to move between slides. You can also click any thumbnail in the strip underneath the preview to jump directly to that slide. The current slide number (e.g. 1 / 10) shows below the preview.

Edit slide text

The Slide N content section on the right (or below the preview on mobile) splits each slide into fields like Headline and Body. Click into a field and edit. Changes save on their own and the preview updates a moment later. Keep slides short: 1–2 sentences per slide reads best on a phone.

Tip: On the cover and last slide, the Red word picker lets you mark one word in red so the hook pops. Click the word again to remove it.

Put a photo on any slide

Under Background photo, click a photo to put it on the slide you're looking at. You can upload your own, reuse a saved photo, grab a still frame from your video, or use your profile photo. Move to another slide and pick a different photo to give each slide its own.

Tip: Want the same photo everywhere? After picking one, click Apply this photo to all.

Restyle with a design preset

Under Carousel Style, pick one of five presets and EchoMe re-renders every slide in that style in a few seconds:

Branded: photo background with bold typography. The default look for personal-brand carousels.
Quote Card: clean serif text on cream. Best for thought-leadership quotes.
Tweet Card: Twitter-style dark card. Best for hot takes and short hooks.
Stats Card: big stat on warm white. Best for data-led carousels.
My Image: pick any image for the cover and last slides — upload your own, reuse a saved photo, grab a still frame from your original video, or use your profile photo. Body slides keep the template look.

The Current Style button below the presets indicates which one is active. Click any other preset to restyle.

Tip: Restyling replaces the backgrounds on all slides at once. Text edits you've made are preserved, only the design changes.

Edit the Instagram post caption

The Post caption section at the bottom of the editor pairs with this carousel. Edit it inline; it saves automatically. The copy icon beside the label copies it to your clipboard. To publish, use the posting controls at the bottom of the editor: pick your platforms, then Post now or Schedule.

Tip: If the caption field is empty, EchoMe falls back to the kit-level Instagram caption generated for this Content Kit.

Download single slide or full set

The Slide download button (bottom of the editor, above the posting controls) exports the currently visible slide as a PNG. All (N) (where N is your carousel's slide count) exports every slide as a zip file, ready to upload to Instagram or LinkedIn in order. You can trim a carousel down to 3 slides or build it up to 20 from the slide strip.

Tip: Both Instagram and LinkedIn preserve slide order when you upload multiple images at once. Drag them into the uploader in slide-number order.

Tips from real use

Slide 1 is the hook. Most of your audience decides whether to swipe based on the first slide alone. Edit it last, after the rest of the carousel is settled, so you know what you're hooking them into.
Read the carousel on a phone. The editor preview is desktop-sized. Slides that look fine on a laptop can feel cramped on mobile. Download a slide and open it on your phone before publishing.
Match the background to the mood. A still frame from your video works for personal/behind-the-scenes content. Quote Card works for business advice. Tweet Card works for strong opinions and hot takes.
Caption and carousel should complement, not duplicate. The caption is where you expand on what the slides can't fit: context, story, and the call to action.
