How to Turn a Blog Post Into a Carousel (Step by Step)
You already did the hard thinking when you wrote the blog post. Repurposing it into a carousel is one of the highest-ROI things you can do on social, new audience, fraction of the effort. Here’s the process.
Step 1: Find the spine
Most posts have a hidden list inside them, the main points, the steps, the takeaways. Pull out 5 to 8 of those. That’s your slide sequence. If the post doesn’t have a clear spine, the carousel will wander, so tighten it first.
Step 2: Write a sharper hook
A blog title optimized for search rarely works as a cover. Rewrite it as a scroll-stopper, a number, an outcome, or a contrarian take (see carousel hooks).
Step 3: One idea per slide
Compress each point to a headline and a sentence. If you’re quoting a paragraph, you haven’t compressed enough. Save the nuance for the blog; the carousel is the trailer.
Step 4: Add a CTA back to the source
Close by sending people to the full post, “Full guide in bio”, or to a save. Pick one (see CTA ideas).
Step 5: Make it on-brand and export
This is the slow part by hand. With Supaslides, paste your site URL, write a one-line brief based on the post, and Claude drafts the slides in your brand theme, turning a single blog post into a ready-to-post deck for every major feed in minutes.
