How to best use Slidiz
Add a product link
Paste your website, App Store, or Google Play link on the home page. Slidiz learns what the product does and chooses the creative direction for the slideshow.
Add your product link
Paste your website, App Store, or Google Play link. Slidiz reads the product and prepares the details that shape the slideshow.
Review details and add screenshots
Review the product details Slidiz found, then add screenshots when you want the slideshow to show the product in use. The details take under a minute and keep each slide grounded.
Let Slidiz choose the creative lane
Slidiz reads what the product does and selects a focused creative lane with the right hook families, slide structures, and image language.
Describe your app or website
Review the product name and what it does. These details keep the slideshow specific without extra setup.
Add screenshots when useful
Add product screenshots when you want the closing slide to show the product in use. You can change the layout later from the editor's Image tab.
Generate and edit
Generate the slideshow, then use the live phone preview to reorder slides, refine copy, replace imagery, and check platform safe areas.
Work the three panel tabs
Post holds the headline, body, caption block, and slide duration for the Shorts video. Image covers replacing the picture — search Pinterest for alternatives, upload your own, or reuse a saved image. Captions styles the overlay text: font, size, colour, placement, and backdrop.
Understand the two formats
TikTok slideshows and Instagram carousels share one 3:4 deck — the same images post to both, so you only make it once. YouTube Shorts uses a taller 9:16 video with each slide held for the duration you set (default 1s). The phone preview shows each platform's real UI so captions stay clear of buttons and usernames.
Edit the first draft
Treat the generated deck as a strong draft, not a final cut. Tighten anything generic, make the hook more specific, swap weak images from the picker, and keep the product mention soft unless the deck is intentionally direct-response. If the first slide could apply to any product, rewrite it before exporting.
Save images you want to reuse
Hit Save image under the preview to add the current slide's picture to your library, then reuse it on other slides and product workspaces from the Image tab's Saved drawer.
Edit and publish
Once the slideshow is ready, send it to TikTok as a draft when the integration is enabled, finish the post in TikTok, publish the Instagram export manually, or download the YouTube Shorts video. My Projects keeps your product workspaces ready for another edit.
What a product workspace keeps
Your saved product link and product details. Each new run keeps the direction while writing fresh copy and imagery.
Where the new slideshow goes
The new slideshow saves inside the product workspace, leaves the original untouched, and opens in the editor for a quick polish before download. Add a screenshot again from the Image tab when needed.
Use it as a posting routine
Volume is the whole strategy. Open My Projects, remix a strong slideshow, give it a two-minute polish, download, and publish.
Export and publish
The Download button gives you a ZIP with a slideshow folder — 3:4 images formatted for a TikTok slideshow or Instagram carousel — plus a 9:16 youtube-shorts.mp4 video. Everything renders in your browser, so nothing is uploaded during the browser export. When you choose **Send draft to TikTok**, Slidiz renders a temporary server-side photo set so TikTok can fetch it; TikTok then sends the draft to your inbox for you to finish. Instagram files are downloaded and posted manually. For YouTube, download the MP4 or, when the integration is enabled, connect your YouTube channel and upload the video privately from Slidiz after reviewing its details.
The honest truth: what results to expect
Slideshows are a volume game, not a lottery ticket. A typical post from a small account lands around 300–3,000 views and converts a small fraction of viewers — but decks that hit the right hook jump to 10k, 100k, occasionally 1M+ views, and one outlier can drive more downloads than months of ordinary posts. The format wins because a deck takes minutes, not hours: publish manually to TikTok and Instagram, send a TikTok draft when enabled, and download or privately upload to YouTube, at near-zero cost.
Judge the strategy monthly, not per post
A single deck at 500 views is not a failure; twenty decks averaging 500 views with no outliers means change the hooks, not the format. Every post is another chance at the outlier, and you cannot predict which one it will be — you can only make sure you have enough posts in the water.
Expect conversion in fractions of a percent
If 1 in 100 viewers visits your profile and 1 in 10 of those downloads, 30,000 monthly views is roughly 30 downloads. That sounds small until you remember the content cost you almost nothing — the economics work because the cost per post is near zero, not because any one post converts hard.
Consistency beats perfection
The algorithm rewards accounts that post reliably in one niche. A decent deck posted today outperforms a perfect deck posted never — and outliers compound, because a post that travels lifts your follower count and with it the baseline views of every post after it.
Warm up accounts before posting
A brand-new account that posts immediately can look like spam to the algorithm and get buried at zero views — no matter how good the deck is. “Warming up” means spending a few days acting like a real user in your niche so the platform trusts your account before your first post. The right amount differs by platform, and these are community best practices rather than official rules — treat them as a sensible default, not a guarantee.
TikTok
Warm up 3 to 7 days. Each day, scroll your niche for 20-30 minutes, genuinely like posts, leave real comments rather than emoji-only replies, and follow 8-10 relevant accounts spread throughout the day. Engage mostly in your niche, but interact with a few unrelated viral videos too so the account does not look automated. Hold off on bio links and heavy profile changes for the first couple of days.
Warm up 7 to 10 days. Spend 20-30 minutes a day watching Reels, like roughly one in ten posts, follow a few relevant accounts daily, and keep total actions under about 150 a day. Post the first Reel around day 7-10 once the account has a normal browsing and engagement pattern.
YouTube
Minimal warm-up is usually enough. Verify the channel with a phone number, watch content in your niche for a few days, and interact lightly before uploading the first Short so YouTube sees a real viewer behind the channel.
Your first TikTok post, step by step
Don't post for the first 48-72 hours — spend them watching niche content all the way through. Make the first post pure value: no links, no offer, a sound trending in the last 7 days, 3-4 niche hashtags, a short caption with one niche keyword. Use unique images — TikTok fingerprints uploads, so recompose anything that has already gone viral (your caption overlay in the Slidiz editor already helps). Add your bio link only after the first post clears roughly 1k views, wait ~24 hours before the second post, and never mass-delete underperformers.
