Show HN: Crafto – AI carousel post generator for LinkedIn and Instagram
Hi HN folks,<p>I am a solo builder and wanted to share a tool I’ve been working on: Crafto. It turns text, webpages, documents, and images into carousel posts for platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and X.<p>The goal is to turn plain text into engaging visuals to help marketers, educators, and influencers boost their content engagement, grow audience, and save hours of work.<p>This idea came from my previous work on using AI to summarize documents, meetings, blogs, and articles. While exploring that direction, I found that pure text summaries still feel a bit plain, so decided to add visual elements. I first tried infographics, but found them hard to read on mobile, especially when they have dense text and complex graphics. What I ended up is a carousel generator that combines text information with simple layout, color, and images — trying to balance text density and visual appeal, as I found whose well-designed carousels on LinkedIn and Instagram easily grab my attention.<p>Compared to static templates in tools like Canva, I wanted to automate the text-to-carousel generation process so a user doesn’t need to do all the manual work of picking templates, turning their long text into short summary, and filling in the text boxes. While a user can still edit the result in Crafto, I hope it would be minimal as the majority of the work is automated.<p>Crafto currently uses a mix of AI and curated templates. I also want to experiment with fully AI-generated carousels (without templates) to see how they compare in quality and user preference.<p>Would love feedback if you find this resonates, and happy to answer any question!

Crafto is a useful utility targeting the high-growth creator economy, but it currently lacks the technical moat and traction necessary for a high venture-capital score. The product faces significant competition from incumbents like Canva and numerous other AI-wrappers, making it more of a 'feature' than a standalone platform at this stage.
