Carousel makers

Looking for a free carousel maker?

If you are comparing apps for building Instagram carousels, here is exactly what Rendrl does, so you can decide whether it fits how you post. It is free on Android and iOS, and it does not watermark your work.

What Rendrl is for

Rendrl is built around one idea: you design on a single wide canvas, and the app slices it into Instagram-ready slides at export. That is what makes a carousel look continuous when someone swipes rather than like a set of separate images.

Seamless carousels

Stretch one image across several slides so the picture carries on as the viewer swipes.

Panoramic posts

Build a wide panorama on one canvas and let the app cut it to the right slide count and ratio.

Collages and grids

Dozens of grid layouts, including circular and rounded cells, with per-cell borders and corner radius.

Video slides

Mix video into a carousel, trim it in place, and export the whole thing as a slideshow video.

Story and Reels covers

9:16 and every common ratio, so the same project can become a cover without rebuilding it.

No watermark

Exports are clean, and saving your work is never locked behind a subscription.

Things worth knowing before you switch

Being straight with you is more useful than a feature list:

What it costs

Rendrl is free to download and free to use. Rendering a project spends credits, which you top up by watching an optional ad. If you would rather skip the ads, the optional RENDRL Premium subscription (weekly or annual) lets you export without credits and removes banner ads. Nothing that is free is locked behind it.

Common questions

Is there a free app for making Instagram carousels?

Yes. Rendrl is free on Android and iOS, makes seamless multi-slide carousels, panoramas, collages and story covers, and adds no watermark.

What is a seamless carousel?

A single wide image sliced across several slides, so the picture appears to continue as the viewer swipes. Rendrl builds the panorama on one canvas and slices it for you.

Does Rendrl add a watermark?

No. Exports never carry a watermark, on the free plan or on Premium.

Can I put videos in a carousel?

Yes — video slides alongside photos, with trimming, exported as a slideshow video.

Does it work on Android and iPhone?

Yes. Android 7.0 and above on Google Play, iOS 16 and above on the App Store.
