Build an Instagram Carousel as an Interactive Claude Artifact (No Canva)

Who This Is For

• You want carousels but don't want to open Canva or design software

• You like the idea of Claude building the actual visual, not just the copy

• You want to preview and tweak the design by chatting, not dragging elements

• You want a clean, dark, modern carousel look without a designer

• You're comfortable screenshotting slides to post

What You'll Have

• An interactive carousel rendered as a Claude Artifact (a live React/HTML component), with:

• A 4:5 portrait canvas, clean dark background

• A progress bar, a page counter (1/5), and subtle SVG overlays

• Bold high-contrast titles and structured content cards

• Next/Previous buttons to cycle through and preview the slides

What You'll Need

• Claude with Artifacts enabled

• Your carousel topic, tone, palette, and CTA

• That's it, no Canva, no design tool
