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.
