Why most carousel apps are not really free

Three patterns cover almost every app in the category. A watermark on free exports — the app is "free" until you want to post. A required account — your work lives on their server and the sign-up wall is the funnel. A subscription behind the templates — €5 to €10 a month to keep using what you built. Postfolio does none of these: creating is free and stays free, the apps are free downloads, and the one paid thing is a single purchase for the templates and the fast lane for big carousels.

Free export: a full-bleed photo with one line of type, no watermark — Free exports — no watermark, no logo, full size.

Free export: slide 1 of a seamless panorama — Free exports — no watermark, no logo, full size.

How to make a carousel without signing up

Open the web app. postfolio.studio/app loads in Safari or Chrome, on the phone or the computer. No sign-up screen.
Drop in your photos. Place them on slides, crop, add a border or a line of text, or split a wide photo into a panorama.
Export. Each slide comes out as PNG at 1080 × 1440 — clean, full size, ready to post. Save to the camera roll on the phone or download on the computer.

Questions, answered straight.

Is Postfolio really free, or a trial?

Free, not a trial. Placing, cropping and framing photos, the seamless panorama split, borders, text and exporting every slide are free for good — in the web app and in the iOS and Android apps. The free version stays free.

Does the free version add a watermark?

No. Postfolio never adds a watermark, free or Pro. Exports are clean PNG files at Instagram's full size.

Do I need to register or create an account?

No. The web app opens and works immediately; the iOS and Android apps need no sign-up either. Nothing is uploaded, so there is nothing to register for.

What does Pro add, and what does it cost?

Pro unlocks the full template families (Journal, Magazine, Frames, profile grids and more) and exports whole carousels of four slides or more in one go. It is a one-time purchase of €4.99 — never a subscription.

Which Instagram sizes does it export?

1080 × 1440 (3:4) and 1080 × 1350 (4:5) for posts, 1080 × 1920 for stories, as PNG without recompression.

Which carousel apps add watermarks or need an account?

SCRL adds a watermark to free exports and is subscription-based. Canva needs an account. Unfold's free tier is limited and most templates sit behind a subscription. Postfolio needs none of the three.

Is there a limit on the number of slides or exports?

No. Up to 20 slides per carousel — Instagram's own limit — and as many exports as you like.
