How to build a carousel creator web app using Cursor and Figma

Carousels are one of the best ways to grab attention and boost engagement.
But what if you could create your own  Slide Carousel Creator web app — without spending weeks on design and development?

In this guide, you’ll learn how to design in Figma and code with Cursor, an AI-powered code editor, to build a fully functional web application that turns text into beautiful, shareable carousel slides.

In this video, I’ll show you step by step how to build an Slide Carousel Creator web app — from design to code. We’ll start by setting up the design system in Figma, then move into Cursor (AI-powered coding editor) to bring it to life.

By the end, you’ll have a fully working web app that:

• Lets users paste text and split it into multiple carousel slides

• Uploads custom background images for each slide

• Adds a bottom-left text overlay with a fade-out gradient for readability

• Exports ready-to-post Instagram carousel PNGs

This tutorial is perfect if you’re:

• Learning how to connect design → development

• Exploring Cursor AI for faster coding Interested in building small but useful web tools

• A designer/developer who wants to ship ideas quickly

🛠️ Tools used in this video:

• Figma → for design system and layout planning

• Cursor → to generate, edit, and refine the web app code

• HTML, CSS, JavaScript → to build the final product

  
  

By combining Figma’s MCP server with Cursor’s AI-driven coding, you can quickly build a professional Carousel Creator web app.
This project is an excellent way to practice front-end development while exploring the future of AI-assisted design-to-code workflows.
