How to preview your TikTok carousel
- Add your slides. Pictures, or a PDF whose pages become slides. Or try the sample.
- Write your caption. TikTok shows the first lines over your slide, then “…more”.
- Add your name and photo, shared with the other aiCarousels previews.
- Swipe through it in TikTok’s photo mode, in light or dark mode. “Every slide” shows each slide with its bars.
- Download the preview as a PNG to share it.
What the preview shows
- Photo mode as it looks in the For You feed: your slide full screen, the like, comment, save and share buttons down the right, your name, caption and sound at the bottom.
- The black bars: slides that aren’t 9:16 are shown whole, with bars, as TikTok does.
- What covers your slide: the buttons and the caption sit on top of it, so text in those areas is hidden. The TikTok safe zone checker marks them.
What the checks look at
- The count: up to 35 photos.
- The shape: 9:16 fills the screen; other shapes get bars.
- Sharpness: slides under 1080 px wide look soft.
- The caption: how much shows before “…more”.
Need 9:16 slides? The TikTok carousel size tool resizes them all.
Free, and what the app adds
The preview is free, with no account and no limit. aiCarousels writes and designs TikTok photo carousels in 9:16, and shows them in this phone before you post.
