Build Your Own Carousel Creator in Claude

Claude can design your whole carousel, photos, screenshots and all, and these six prompts set it up around YOUR brand, not a template.

What's inside

Run these in order, in one Claude chat. It works best in Claude Cowork or Claude Code, since the job needs to save files and export images along the way. A plain chat window can't do that part.

1

Teach it your brand

Start here. Claude can't design anything on-brand until it knows your colours, your fonts, your voice and your audience.

You're going to be my carousel designer. First, learn my brand. Ask me one question at a time: my brand colours (hex codes if I know them, or I'll just describe them), my fonts (or the vibe: clean, playful, bold), how I talk (I'll paste a couple of my captions), and who my audience is. When you've got it all, save it as a file called brand.md and use it for every carousel we make from now on.
2

Build your photo index: the trick that makes carousels look pro

This is the one nobody does. Claude maps every photo of you so it never plasters a headline across your face again.

Here's a folder of photos of me. Go through every photo and build me a photo index that records, for each one: where my face is (left, right, centre, top or bottom), whether it's landscape or portrait, the vibe (professional, casual, fun), and whether there's clear space for text. From now on, when you design a slide with a photo, check the index first and never place text over my face. Rotate through different photos so my carousels don't all look the same.
3

Write the slides

Now Claude writes the actual carousel copy, using your brand file so it sounds like you, not a brochure.

Using my brand file, write me a carousel about [YOUR TOPIC]. Slide 1 is a cover with a bold hook. Slides 2 to 4 are one idea each, short headline plus two lines max. Slide 5 is proof, a screenshot or a result. The last slide tells people exactly what to do next. Write it like I talk, not like a brochure.
4

Design them

Turn the written slides into finished, on-brand designs at proper carousel size, ready to export.

Now design these slides at 1080 by 1350 pixels using my brand colours, my fonts, and the photo index rules. One idea per slide, big readable text. Show me the design, and when I approve it, export every slide as an image I can post.
5

Real screenshots, not descriptions

Proof beats a description every time. This prompt makes sure any tool or result on screen is real.

When a slide mentions a tool or a result, take a real screenshot of it and frame it neatly on the slide instead of describing it in words. If you can't reach the site, tell me and I'll grab the screenshot myself.
6

Save the whole thing as a skill

Lock everything in so next time you just give Claude a topic, not a full re-briefing.

Turn everything we just set up, my brand file, the photo index rules, the slide structure and the design settings, into a skill called carousel-creator, so next time I can just give you a topic and get finished slides back.

A template tool gives you a shape to fill in. A carousel skill gives you a designer who already knows your brand and your face.

😐 A template tool

  • Same layout as everyone else in your niche
  • You're stuck fighting the fonts and spacing
  • No idea what your photos are doing behind the text

✨ Your own carousel skill

  • Knows your brand colours, fonts and voice
  • Knows your face, so text never lands on it
  • Screenshots real proof instead of describing it
  • Gets faster every single time you use it

The bit nobody does

The photo index is why homemade carousels look homemade. Without it, text just gets dropped wherever, and half the time that's straight over your face. Prompt 2 fixes that permanently.


🙈

Text over your face

The single biggest tell. Fix it once with the photo index and it never happens again.

📝

A wall of words on every slide

One idea per slide. If you need three sentences to explain it, it's two slides.

🔁

The same selfie on every carousel

Rotate through your photo library so your feed doesn't look like one long loop.

🎨

Designing before you've written the slides

Write the words first. Design decisions get easier once you know what has to fit.

➡️

No final slide telling people what to do next

Every carousel needs a last slide with one clear next step, not a quiet fade-out.
