Editing Carousels — Text, Style, Layout, Download

Every Content Kit generates a set of carousel slides ready for Instagram and LinkedIn. You can edit the text on each slide, reposition it, 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 Textfield on the right (or below the preview on mobile) shows the current slide's text. Click into it and edit. Keep slides short — 1–2 sentences per slide reads best on a phone. Long paragraphs will overflow.

Reposition text by dragging

You'll see the hint “Drag the text on the preview to reposition” under the text field. Click and drag the text box directly on the slide preview to move it anywhere on the canvas. Use this when the default centered placement fights the background image.

Restyle with a design preset

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

Quote Card — clean tweet-style text card. Best for thought-leadership quotes.
Text on Color — bold text over a color-gradient background. Best for attention-grabbing hooks.
My Image — upload your own background image. EchoMe places the slide text over it with a dark overlay for readability.
Video Frame — use a still frame from your original video as the slide background. EchoMe auto-extracts several candidate frames; pick one.

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. Use Copy caption to copy it to your clipboard, or Open Instagram to jump straight to Instagram with the caption ready to paste.

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

Download Slide exports the currently visible slide as a PNG. All (10)— or however many slides your carousel has — exports every slide as a zip file, ready to upload to Instagram or LinkedIn in order.

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. Video Frame works for personal/behind-the-scenes content. Quote Card works for business advice. Text on Color 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.
