About Lumeo

Lumeo created carousels for LinkedIn and Instagram from a topic or existing content. You could start from an idea, a tweet, a YouTube video, an article or a website, apply a brand kit with your colors and fonts, adjust settings in an options panel and download the carousel as a PDF or as PNG slides, for LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok. Free tools included a carousel editor, a LinkedIn post formatter, a banner generator and a post hook generator.

A notice at the top of the site says that, due to a lack of funding, Lumeo would shut down permanently on September 1st, 2026 and asks users to save their content before that date. That date has passed, so the service should be treated as closed.

Before the shutdown the site listed a monthly plan, an annual plan and a lifetime offer, with a free trial and no card required to try it. A lifetime plan was also offered with a limited number of spots.
