TikTok Slideshow & Carousel Templates

TikTok templates are ready-made slideshow designs you fill with your own words, sized 1080 × 1920 px (9:16) for full-screen photo posts.

Hook-first vertical slideshows for TikTok Photo Mode. Big type that survives the caption overlay, safe-zone layouts, and 1080×1920 PNGs generated from a prompt.

TikTok slideshows (Photo Mode posts) are swipeable image posts with music. Viewers swipe at their own pace, and a strong first slide decides whether they keep going. Listicles, app and tool roundups, opinion takes, and quick tutorials are the slideshow formats that travel furthest.

The templates below are picked for the 9:16 TikTok screen: hook covers, meme posters, phone and app spotlights, and numbered point cards. Text-dense evidence and comparison slides are left out because TikTok’s caption and buttons cover part of the screen.

  • Start from a proven layout instead of a blank canvas.
  • Every slide stays the same size and style.
  • Edit text and colors, then export.

  4. 4

    Download the PNG pack (1080×1920) and send it to your phone.

  5. 5

  6. 6

    Add a sound, write a caption with the hook and 3–5 hashtags, and post.

TikTok slideshow best practices

Hook in five words

Slide 1 is a thumbnail. Use a number, a contrarian claim, or a “you’re doing X wrong” line in very large type.

Fast pacing

One short line per slide. If a slide needs a paragraph, split it; people swipe faster on TikTok than on Instagram.

Respect the overlay

Captions, the sound label, and action buttons cover the bottom and right edges. EasySociable templates keep text inside the safe zone.

Close with a reason to follow

End with “Follow for part 2” or a save prompt; slideshows that promise a series earn more follows.

TikTok slideshow vs carousel vs Photo Mode

They are the same post type. TikTok’s own name is Photo Mode: a post made of several still images, usually with music. Creators call it a “slideshow”, and marketers often say “TikTok carousel” because it swipes like an Instagram carousel.

The one real difference is from a video slideshow: if you turn images into a video (each image shown for a few seconds), viewers cannot swipe and the post is ranked as a video. For list and tutorial content, a swipeable Photo Mode slideshow is usually the better choice. Every template on this page exports 9:16 PNGs that work for both.

Example prompts for your Agent

Make a 7-slide TikTok slideshow “6 iPhone settings you should turn off”: hook slide with the number, one setting per slide with a phone screenshot slot, and a follow-for-part-2 closer.
Create a TikTok Photo Mode slideshow with a contrarian hook (“Stop making to-do lists”), four short reasons, and a comment-prompt last slide.
Turn this list of 5 AI tools into a TikTok carousel: app icon and one-line use case per slide, big type, everything inside the 9:16 safe zone.
