A CarouselMaker alternative with real AI images
CarouselMaker turns a topic into a templated carousel. Caruva does the same — then generates a genuinely original AI image behind every slide, so your posts don't look like everyone else's.

What's the real difference?+
Both write your carousel copy from a topic. The difference is the visuals: CarouselMaker styles slides with templates and background patterns, while Caruva generates an original AI image behind each slide — so your carousel looks distinct rather than recognisably templated.
Is Caruva free?+
There's a free tier to try it (with AI images on your first run) and free no-signup mini-tools. Paid plans start at €9/mo for higher limits and watermark-free exports.
Can I use my own photos instead of AI images?+
Yes — you can generate from a topic with AI images, or upload your own photos and let Caruva design around them.
