TikTok Carousel Idea Generator

Never stare at a blank carousel again. Generate ready-to-shoot ideas with a full slide-by-slide outline — hook on slide 1, save/share CTA on the last.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a TikTok carousel go viral?

A scroll-stopping hook on slide 1, 5-9 slides (completion rate matters more than slide count), a clear save/share CTA on the last slide, trending audio, and a caption with 200+ characters and niche keywords. The algorithm rewards saves and shares far more than likes.

How many slides should a TikTok carousel have?

5 to 10 is the sweet spot. TikTok allows up to 35, but 7 strong slides beat 35 mediocre ones — the algorithm favors a high swipe-through completion rate.

Is this free?

Yes. Generate as many carousel ideas as you want, no signup, no card. AuTime can then turn the idea into a finished carousel and queue it as a draft across your TikTok accounts.
