Read full description

Speak an idea for twenty seconds and get a designed carousel back, ready to post. SoMic turns a rough idea into a finished post. Say it out loud, or paste a note. SoMic shapes it into a carousel or a story you can edit — or into a thread, a LinkedIn post, or a script for your short video. Not quite right? Say what should change, and it rewrites. It writes in your voice, not in the flat register every AI writes in by default. Tell it once who you write for and how you sound, and it holds that. Stuck for a topic? Ideas suggests posts from your own context. The editor is a real design surface. Every style is a complete look, from type to texture. Add photos, cut a subject out of its background, lay photos out in grids, and fine-tune type. Export images or a PDF, free. SoMic Pro adds the seamless canvas — one artwork running across the whole carousel, so a headline can cross the gap between two slides — one gradient across every slide, the full library of paper, stone and wood textures, your own fonts, your own saved styles, video on a slide, the whole deck as one 1080×1920 video with a camera move, backup of your photos and fonts, and AI generation beyond the free trial.
