The AI Canva alternative built only for carousels
Canva gives you a blank canvas and a thousand templates. Caruva gives you a finished carousel from one sentence — copy, layout and an original AI image on every slide.

Canva is an outstanding, flexible design tool — if you want full manual control over every pixel, nothing beats it. Caruva isn't trying to replace Canva's editor; it's for when you want a ready-to-post carousel in seconds instead of an afternoon of designing.

Is Caruva free like Canva?+
Caruva has a free tier you can try without a card, plus free no-signup mini-tools (hook, caption and idea generators). Paid plans start at €9/mo for higher limits and watermark-free, full-resolution exports.
Can I still edit what Caruva makes?+
Yes — every slide's text is editable, you can regenerate images or slides, reorder them and tweak the caption before exporting. It's a fast first draft you finish, not a black box.
Does Caruva replace Canva?+
For carousels, it removes most of the manual work. For everything else Canva does — logos, presentations, video — Canva remains the more flexible tool. Many people use both.
