Real photos, never AI images
AI images have a look people now spot in a second: too smooth, too perfect, slightly off. Slidemate never makes them. It picks real photos from Pinterest, Pexels, Cosmos and the open web, or uses your own uploads.
It also skips photos with words or logos on them, never uses the same photo twice in a slideshow, and keeps every photo in your product's world: a music app gets studios and headphones, not random stock smiles.
The real TikTok font
Viral slideshows are written in TikTok Sans, the font of the TikTok app, usually small and white, sometimes in the classic box or with an outline. Slidemate uses it by default, in the styles people know from their For You page, and keeps the words in the middle or lower part of the slide, away from the buttons and the caption.
Formats that already work
Templates follow the formats the big slideshow pages post every day: Pinterest style photos with a few small lines, Apple Notes screenshots, news drops, lists, quotes and hot takes. The template sets how the words look. The photos always fit your topic.
Writing that sounds like a person
- A first slide that names a problem or a surprise, in a few words.
- One idea per slide, in plain words, the way people talk.
- Your product shows up as the answer near the end, not as an ad on slide one.
- A new hook, caption and hashtags every time.
