How it works

How to make a carousel post on Mac or Windows

  1. 1 Start from

    • Typed text
    • Pasted outline
    • PNG
    • JPG
    • WebP
    • BMP
    • SVG

    Pick a template

    Choose by what you are publishing, such as Product Proof, How-to Guide, Case Study or Data Report. Or paste an outline to draft the slides.

  2. 2 Set it

    • Product Proof
    • How-to Guide
    • Data Report

    Write and design each slide

    Edit the copy in place, add up to three images per slide, and set your accent color, name and handle.

  3. 3 Export

    • PNG (one per slide)

    Export the set

    One numbered PNG per visible slide at the exact canvas size, plus a PDF for LinkedIn if you want it.

New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step

Start from the job

Templates sorted by what you are trying to say.

Each template is a full visual system with a ready-made slide sequence. Keep its sequence or keep your own slides, and change the canvas at any time. The layout reflows to fit.

  • Product Proof

    Pain, promise, proof, workflow, result, call to action.

    Best for product updates, demos and launches.

  • How-to Guide

    Clear steps in a stacked, easy-to-swipe layout.

    Best for tutorials and explainers.

  • Data Report

    Big numbers and ledger rows that lead with evidence.

    Best for research, benchmarks and reports.

One app, one payment

Carousel is one of 74 tools.

The same app makes mockups, carousels, QR codes and backgrounds, and handles your PDFs, images, video and audio too. One payment covers every tool.

A typical routine

Where Carousel fits

  1. Step 1Remove background
  2. Step 2Carousel
  3. Step 3Compress images

Cut out a product shot, place it on your slides, then shrink the exported PNGs for faster posting.

The alternative

Why not use an online design app?

Online design apps have far bigger template libraries and real-time team editing. If you design with a team every day, that matters. Here is the case for Hangar.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

Does it post or schedule for me?

No. It exports the slides and PDF to your output folder, and you post them with the app or scheduler you already use.

Can I come back to a carousel later?

Yes. Your project saves as you work, so you can reopen it and keep editing.

What sizes can I export?

Portrait 1080 × 1350, Square 1080 × 1080, Story 1080 × 1920, and Landscape 1600 × 900. Every slide is exported at exactly that size.

Can I get a PDF for LinkedIn?

Carousel exports PNG slides. To post a LinkedIn document, combine the PNGs into one PDF with Images to PDF.

How many slides can a carousel have?

Up to 30. You can hide a slide to leave it out of the export without deleting it.

Can I start from text I have already written?

Yes. Paste an outline with --- between slides, with headings as headlines and bullets as list items. Importing replaces your current slides, and Undo brings them back.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.

Try Carousel free for 3 days.

Then pay once, from $45, for every tool and the updates for your version. No subscription. 30-day refund.See plans
