Frequently asked
Does TikTok support photo carousels?+
Yes — TikTok’s photo mode lets you post up to 35 images that users swipe through, with music on top. Photo posts often earn strong saves and shares because they’re skimmable.
What size should TikTok carousel images be?+
Vertical formats work best. Caruva exports 1080×1350 (4:5) and 1080×1920 (9:16) — both display cleanly in TikTok photo mode.
Is this TikTok carousel maker free?+
Yes — free generations with AI images on your first run, no card required. Paid plans from €9/month unlock watermark-free full-res exports and a monthly AI-image budget.
What content works as a TikTok carousel?+
Listicles (“3 apps that…”), step-by-step how-tos, before/after stories, and bold hot takes. One idea per slide, a strong first slide, and a last slide that asks for a save or follow.
