One maker, one simple idea

Reathy is a free web app that turns plain text into professional, branded carousels for LinkedIn, Instagram and X - and it's built and run by one independent developer, not a company.

Reathy started because making a good carousel was harder than it should be. I wanted to post more on LinkedIn, but every option meant wrestling a design tool - dragging boxes in Canva, lining up fonts, resizing slide after slide - when all I really wanted was to write a few lines and hit publish.

So I built the tool I wished existed: you write your slides as plain text, pick a theme, and every slide is designed for you - consistent type, spacing and color, in the formats each platform wants. No Canva, no design skills, no account needed to try. What used to take an afternoon now takes about five minutes.

I think a carousel maker should get out of your way. That means a live preview that updates as you type, sensible defaults you rarely need to override, and export that just works - a single PDF for a LinkedIn document post, or PNGs for Instagram and X. It also means being honest: a genuinely useful free plan, clear limits, and no dark patterns.

Reathy is young and improving fast. I ship small updates often, I read every piece of feedback, and the roadmap is shaped by what people actually ask for. If something feels clunky or missing, tell me - it's the quickest way to make the product better.
