Make carousel posts that look like hours of work. It takes minutes. Colette is for anyone who wants a feed with a point of view — no design school, no software that needs a tutorial. Pick a template made by actual designers, drop in your photos, add a few words, and an ordinary day turns into something worth swiping through. TEMPLATES BY ACTUAL DESIGNERS Travel dumps, outfit selections, intro posts, photo diaries — whatever you're posting this week, there's a layout for it. Frames and templates that follow what's happening in visual trends right now, not three years ago. CAROUSELS AND STORIES, ONE APP Build a multi-slide carousel or a single story without switching apps midway. A trip, a mood, a month of small moments, or a way to introduce yourself to the people who follow you. FRAMES, STICKERS AND FONTS Curated sticker sets, frames you won't see on every profile, fonts worth the caption. Move, resize, rotate, layer — nothing locks into a grid you can't escape. TOOLS THAT DON'T NEED A TUTORIAL Remove the background automatically, tidy the edges with the eraser, doodle by hand, leave a note in your own handwriting. The point is your story, not figuring out an app. FREE, AND WE MEAN IT • Carousels up to 9 slides • Carousel posts and stories • Export your slides as images • No watermark, ever • The templates and tools you actually need COLETTE PRO ADDS • Video in your projects, exported as slideshows • Carousels up to 20 slides • The lasso tool, for cutouts that behave • Premium templates, frames and stickers Made for storytellers, creators, bloggers, brands — and anyone who'd rather share life a little more beautifully.
