How to turn markdown into a carousel

A carousel is an outline with styling on top. Markdown is already an outline: headings are slide titles, the lines below them are slide bodies. Writing the post in markdown keeps you focused on the argument instead of on boxes and fonts, and it means the same notes can become a deck, a newsletter or a thread.

Use one # or ## heading per slide, and keep the text under each heading to two short lines. Something like:

# Most cold emails fail in line one
Nobody reads past a generic opener.

# Lead with their problem
Name the pain before you name yourself.

# Ask for one small thing
A reply is easier to give than a meeting.

In DeckWave, open the markdown import, paste the outline, and every heading becomes an editable slide. From there you click any text on the canvas to rewrite it, pick a theme and font pairing, and set the aspect ratio for the platform you are posting to.

Export a multi-page PDF for LinkedIn document posts, or a set of high-resolution PNGs for Instagram and X. On a phone the PNG export hands the files straight to the share sheet so you can post without touching a desktop.

Not sure what to write? Look at finished carousel examples and copy a structure.
