Story post carousel template for creators and coaches
Story Post is a free 5-slide Instagram carousel template for sharing one idea: hand-annotated notes on graph paper, with doodles, arrows and your photo cut out on the cover. Type a topic and AI drafts all five slides in a fixed structure, or write them yourself; either way you can edit every line before it renders.
How to turn an idea into a carousel

Questions
Do I have to use the AI draft?
No. Choose “I’ll write it myself” to start from empty slides, or let AI write a first draft from your topic and rewrite any line you like. Every line has a length limit sized to fit the layout.
What happens to my photo?
The background is removed right in your browser, and only the cut-out is uploaded. It is saved to your account so your next post can reuse it.
What topics work best?
One clear idea people can act on: a habit, a mistake, a piece of psychology, or a lesson from your industry. The five-slide structure walks from a familiar situation to a takeaway.
