# Carousel cover OG image template

First slide of a LinkedIn or Instagram carousel: an oversized title, a one-line hook, the author chip and a progress rail with one tick per slide.

- Slug: `carousel-cover`
- Preview (real render): https://shareglint.com/storage/template-previews/carousel-cover.jpg
- Page: https://shareglint.com/en/templates/carousel-cover

For creators, marketers and agencies who generate carousels slide by slide, one API call per slide. The title shrinks to fit and the hook stops at two lines; without a slide count the rail still shows six ticks, with one it draws up to twelve. Square and vertical frames, the real carousel sizes, give the title most of the page; wide frames keep the same order in a shorter column.

## Fields

Every field is optional. Long text shrinks to fit instead of overflowing; an image field takes a public URL that we fetch on our side.

| Field | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| `title` | text | The big promise of the carousel. (default: Carousel title) | 7 pricing page mistakes that cost you signups |
| `hook` | text | One line under the title that makes people swipe. | Swipe through: each one takes under an hour to fix |
| `slide_count` | text | Number of slides, e.g. 9. Draws one tick per slide (2 to 12) and the 1 / 9 counter. | 9 |
| `author_name` | text | Author name in the chip at the top. | Maya Chen |
| `author_handle` | text | Author handle under the name, e.g. @mayachen. | @mayachen |
| `avatar` | image URL | Author photo in the chip; without it the initials are shown. | https://example.com/images/avatar-woman.jpg |
| `logo` | image URL | Brand logo in the top left corner. | https://example.com/images/logo-northwind.png |
| `accent` | colour | Brand colour as hex, e.g. #6366f1. Drives buttons, highlights and the background glow. (default: #ff5b2e) | #ff5b2e |
| `theme` | dark | light | Colour scheme: dark or light. (default: light) | — |

```

## Make it yours

accent and theme change per request. For anything more, copy the template into your account: you get an ordinary HTML template with the same fields that you can edit in the dashboard or through the API. If the slug is free on your account, the copy takes it — your integrations switch to your version without changing a line.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://shareglint.com/v1/templates/library/carousel-cover/copy" -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_YOUR_KEY"
