Turn Any Article into a Carousel

Paste the article URL into WaveGen and click Generate. The AI reads the full piece, identifies the strongest arguments, quotes, and findings, and builds a carousel with headlines, supporting text, and AI-generated imagery on each slide. You can reorder, rewrite, or regenerate any slide in the visual editor, apply your publication's brand kit, and then download or schedule the carousel directly to Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, or YouTube. Works with news sites, research outlets, Medium, Substack, industry publications, and any public URL.

WaveGen is built for the long-form-to-social handoff that journalists, researchers, and thought leaders run every week. It reads the full article — not just the headline or first paragraph — so nuanced arguments, statistics, and direct quotes survive the transition to carousel. Alternatives like PostNitro and Contentdrips are template editors that assume you will write the slide copy yourself, which doubles the work when you have already written the article. aiCarousels extracts text but does not include images or multi-platform scheduling. If you want a single paste-and-publish workflow from article URL to scheduled carousel, WaveGen covers the full pipeline.

Yes. WaveGen's extraction pipeline explicitly looks for pull quotes, statistics with attribution, and direct citations — the pieces of your article that anchor its credibility — and surfaces them as dedicated slides. You can review every slide before publishing to confirm that attributions and citations match the original. For research-heavy pieces, this is essential: a carousel that strips context or misquotes a source will do more harm than never publishing at all.

Yes, and this is a common editorial use case. Many publications convert third-party articles into carousel commentary — their own take on an industry piece, a competitor's research, or a news story their audience should know about. WaveGen processes any publicly accessible URL. For best practice: always credit the source in the slide deck or first comment, and avoid reproducing the original article's core argument verbatim. The carousel should add your angle or synthesis, not just re-summarize.

The sweet spot is 800–3,000 words. Shorter pieces (under 500 words) often lack the structural variety needed for 5–8 distinct slides — you end up with repetitive slides or a thin deck. Longer pieces (over 5,000 words) work well but WaveGen will surface the strongest subset rather than trying to fit everything. For very long articles, consider generating two or three separate carousels targeting different sections of the piece — that multiplies your distribution per source article.

Yes — both, from the same source URL. WaveGen sizes each slide to 1080×1350 for Instagram feed and exports the same carousel as a PDF document sized for LinkedIn carousel posts. TikTok photo mode (1080×1920 vertical) is also available if you want the same content on a third platform. One article URL, three platform-native carousels, no manual re-sizing.

Under the hood they share the same AI extraction — both read any public URL and build carousel slides. The difference is editorial. Article-to-carousel pages assume your source is a structured piece of journalism, research, or analysis where quotes and citations matter. Blog-to-carousel assumes a marketing or how-to format where the goal is to distill takeaways for action. Same tool, different framing for the content types that drive each workflow.

WaveGen has a free tier that lets you convert articles into carousel slides without a credit card. The free plan includes a limited number of generations per month so you can try the full workflow — paste a URL, produce the carousel, edit slides, apply a brand kit, and download or schedule. Paid plans raise the generation cap, add priority processing, and unlock additional brand kits for teams running multiple publications or practice areas.

Yes. WaveGen can read an article in one language and produce the carousel slides in another — useful for publications with multi-region audiences, or researchers whose work gets translated and redistributed. Paste an English article and produce slides in Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, and many more. Attribution and quotes can be preserved in the original language with an accompanying translation if that fits your editorial standards.
