How do I turn an article into a carousel?

Paste its public URL above, or select Paste article and add the text. Choose Create my carousel and continue in your WaveGen account to generate. Review the slides and caption, customize the design, and publish or schedule.

Is the article-to-carousel tool free?

WaveGen's free app plan includes 10 AI-generated posts, one brand kit, one connected social account, and publishing or scheduling. In the full editor, downloading image, PDF, or video files and removing the WaveGen watermark require a paid plan. Paid tiers also raise the post, social-account, and brand-kit limits.

Does it work with any article URL?

It works with accessible article pages, but some websites block automated reading. Paywalled, private, and login-only pages may not import. Paste the article’s text as an alternative.

Can I paste the article instead of linking it?

Yes. Select Paste article and include its title and relevant text. The input accepts 100 to 100,000 characters. For a long article, using one section can help keep the carousel focused.

Will the carousel preserve quotes and citations?

The AI may summarize and rephrase your source. Check direct quotes and factual claims against the original, and add citations or credit in the slides or caption where needed. Exact wording and complete citation coverage are not guaranteed.

Can I edit the generated slides?

Yes. Edit headlines and body text, change imagery, and add, remove, or reorder slides in the editor. Choose a brand kit before generation to apply your saved colors, fonts, and logo.

Can I publish to LinkedIn or Instagram?

Yes. Review the post for your selected social accounts and publish or schedule from WaveGen. Paid plans also support downloading slide images and PDFs for manual posting.

Can I use a YouTube video or PDF instead?

Yes. WaveGen has tools for YouTube-to-carousel and PDF-to-carousel too. Start from the matching tool below to keep your original source, rather than manually transcribing it into article text.

The oil and gas industry is quietly positioning itself for growth, and the most important developments are happening beneath the surface. 🛢️📉 At PetroPeak, we don't just follow commodity prices. We focus on the underlying indicators that lead value creation. Right now, three major themes are shaping our deal evaluation: 1️⃣ The Permian's Gas-Oil Ratio is climbing, with gas volumes outpacing oil growth. 2️⃣ The Uinta Basin's takeaway capacity is expanding, paving the path to 400,000 barrels per day. 3️⃣ AI data centers are driving massive natural gas demand as tech giants secure reliable baseload power. ⚡📊 Understanding where capital is flowing is key to finding opportunity before the headlines. Which of these trends do you think will have the biggest impact? 👇 #OilAndGas #EnergyInvesting #PermianBasin #UintaBasin #NaturalGas #MineralRights

How to turn an article into a carousel

01
Add the article
Paste a public article URL or its text. Continue in your WaveGen account; the source you entered comes with you.
02
Generate an editable draft
Choose your brand kit and generate. WaveGen uses the source to draft social content. Open the carousel to review the takeaways, wording, and images.
03
Add context and share
Check the draft against the article, add source credit where needed, and review the caption. Publish or schedule to your connected social accounts.

Choose an article with something to teach.

A carousel works well when the source contains a clear argument, a useful process, or several connected takeaways.

How-to articles and practical guides

Turn the main steps into a sequence. Keep any prerequisites or exceptions that readers need in order to use the advice.

Analysis, opinions, and research summaries

Build around the central claim and its supporting evidence. Keep the distinction between the source’s findings and your own interpretation.

Blog posts and newsletter archives

Use a publicly accessible WordPress, Medium, Substack, or other article page. If the article requires a login, paste the text you want to use instead.

Make the shorter version worth reading.

Repurposing is an editorial step. Choose one angle from the article and give readers enough context to understand it.

Start with the source, not a search results page

Paste the article’s own URL. Login walls and sites that block automated access can prevent import; switching to Paste article lets you supply the relevant text directly.

Review quotes and statistics

AI can rephrase or omit details. Compare direct quotes, names, dates, and numbers with the original. Add attribution explicitly; do not assume every citation will appear automatically.

Connect the post to the rest of your content

Use the same brand kit as your other posts. Schedule the carousel alongside related content and use analytics to decide which topics are worth revisiting.
