Free during early access. No card.
The format
What is a TikTok photo slideshow?
A TikTok photo slideshow, also called Photo Mode or a photo carousel, is a single post made of up to 35 swipeable images. Viewers swipe through at their own pace, and each swipe is a signal of engagement. It is one of the fastest growing formats on TikTok, and you do not need a camera or editing skills to make one. Vyral builds these posts for you with AI: you bring the photos, and Vyral handles the captions and sequencing so you just download and post.

- 4Caption every slide by hand and pick a sound.
- 5Write a caption, add hashtags, post, then repeat tomorrow.

- 3Vyral renders a finished 1080x1350 slide, post-ready, no resizing.

- 5Turn on Autopilot (paid) and Vyral builds and posts a fresh deck on your schedule.
Features
Built for the way slideshows actually go viral
Vyral bakes in what the data says works.
Built for swipe-through
Most creators land in the 5 to 10 slide range: long enough to deliver, short enough that people swipe to the end, which is what TikTok rewards.
Post-ready every time
Every slide is rendered at a clean 1080x1350 portrait and exported ready to post. No manual resizing, no blurry crops.
Posts itself, if you want
Post straight to TikTok from Vyral, or download your finished slides — both free. Autopilot (a paid plan) goes further: it builds a fresh deck in your niche and posts it on your schedule — daily, every 3 days, or weekly.
Repurpose what you have
Turn product shots, lifestyle photos, and UGC you already own into swipeable posts. No filming required.
Runnable by agents
Vyral ships an MCP, so your AI agents can build TikTok slideshows hands-off.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Vyral a free TikTok slideshow maker?
You can start free. Create an account and build your first slideshow at no cost during early access.
How many photos can a TikTok slideshow have?
Up to 35. Most creators recommend keeping it to 5 to 10 slides for swipe-through, which is what Vyral aims for.
Can I schedule TikTok slideshows?
TikTok's native scheduler supports video only, not photo carousels. Vyral fills that gap: post slideshows directly to TikTok for free, and Autopilot (a paid plan) builds and posts a fresh slideshow on a schedule you pick (daily, every 3 days, or weekly).
Do I need video editing skills?
No. Vyral handles the captions, the sequencing, and the sizing. You just bring the photos.
What size should TikTok slideshow photos be?
TikTok recommends vertical 9:16 photos (1080x1920 px) for full-screen display, and also supports other portrait ratios. Vyral renders your slides at a post-ready 1080x1350 automatically, so you never crop or resize by hand.
Stop building slideshows by hand
Bring your photos. Vyral does the captions and the render, so you just download and post.
