A TikTok photo carousel ad with your own song under it

To make a TikTok photo carousel ad with your own music, paste your product page into SingingAds. It writes and sings a short jingle about the product, then builds slides from your page photos, cut on the beat, with a big headline on each. You get an MP4 plus a ZIP holding one JPG per slide and the jingle as an MP3. TikTok photo posts take sound from its library, so post the MP4 first and reuse its sound.

What goes in and what comes out

You bring a product page. SingingAds writes a jingle from it, sings it, and lays your photos over the song as slides. You walk away with a vertical MP4, a folder of slide images and the song on its own. The lyrics and the slide words only repeat claims your page already makes, and you approve the lyrics before a note is sung.

The slides are up to eight photos taken from your page, shown exactly as you shot them, plus none, two or four lifestyle scenes drawn with your product photo as the reference. The last slide is a call to action. Each slide drifts with a slow zoom and pan. No video model is involved, which is why the whole thing costs 9 credits, jingle included, and finishes about one to three minutes after the song.

Getting your jingle onto a photo post

This is the part that trips people up. A TikTok photo post picks its sound from TikTok's own library, so there is no button to attach an MP3 you brought with you. Two routes work:

  1. Video first. Post the MP4 as a normal video. Your jingle is now an original sound on TikTok. Build the photo post from the JPGs in the ZIP and choose that original sound for it.
  2. Editor route. Open CapCut or a similar editor, drop in the JPGs in order and the MP3 from the ZIP, and post from there.

One thing to know about the editor route: the JPGs carry no timing. The MP4 already has every cut landing on a beat you can hear; in an editor you set each slide's length yourself. And on a swipe post, a viewer who swipes by hand sets the pace, so the song keeps playing while the slides move at their speed, not the beat's.

Writing slides people keep swiping

Every slide gets a headline of two to six words, styled like TikTok's own on-screen text, and an optional small line under it. Both sit clear of the app's buttons and the caption at the bottom. The opening slide is the hook and shows from the very first frame, so it has to earn the next swipe on its own.

  • Slide one names the problem. "Plants dying while you travel?" beats the brand name.
  • One claim per slide after that. Copy the words from your page so the slide and the song agree.
  • A drawn scene in the middle. It shows the product in use when your page only has shots on white.
  • A plain last slide. What to search, or where to tap.

Don't like a line? Edit any slide's text and cut the slideshow again at no cost.

Posting the same slides as an Instagram carousel

Every JPG is 1080 x 1920, tall and vertical, with its headline already burned in. That means the ZIP doubles as a ready set for an Instagram carousel: upload the slides in order and the story reads the same. Look at the preview before you share it, and if Instagram frames the tall images tighter than TikTok does, make sure no headline gets clipped. For a version with the song playing, post the MP4 as a Reel instead; the jingle is already mixed into it.

Slideshow or full video ad?

A slideshow shows your real product, because the page photos are never redrawn. A full video ad shows an animated or filmed-looking character living with the product, at 18 credits for 15 seconds. If buyers mostly want to see the actual item, its color and its texture, start with the slideshow. If the product needs a scene to make sense, the video ad does more. The side-by-side is on slideshow vs video ad, the format itself is on the TikTok slideshow ad generator, and the step-by-step is in how to make a TikTok slideshow ad.

A last pass before it goes live

  • Play the MP3 on its own once. Is the product name clear?
  • Read every headline against your page. Prices and offers must match what the page says today.
  • Keep the slides in the order they came out of the ZIP; the hook is slide one for a reason.
  • The lifestyle scenes are AI drawn. TikTok, Meta and YouTube ask you to label realistic AI content, so switch the AI label on when you post. Our reasons are on AI disclosure.

Illustrative example: slides and lyrics for a made-up shop

Tidepot self-watering planter (fictional). Page claims used: "waters itself for up to two weeks", "fill line you can see", "fits a 6 inch pot". Five page photos, two drawn scenes.

  1. Hook, page photo of a wilted fern: "Back from vacation. Plant isn't."
  2. Page photo, the reservoir: "Waters itself for two weeks"
  3. Drawn scene, the planter on a sunny sill: "Fill it and leave"
  4. Page close-up: "See the water line"
  5. Page photo with a ruler: "Fits a 6 inch pot"
  6. Call to action: "Search Tidepot"

15 second lyrics: "Two weeks gone, your fern's still green, / Tidepot keeps the water clean, / Fill the line and walk away, / Tidepot waters every day."

What it can't do

  • It cannot add your MP3 inside TikTok photo mode for you; use the video-first or editor route.
  • It does not post to TikTok or Instagram, and it does not schedule posts.
  • Pages that need JavaScript to show anything, or that block robots, cannot be read; describe the product instead, and then the slideshow has no page photos and draws its scenes.

Questions

Can I upload my own song straight into a TikTok photo post?

Photo posts take sound from TikTok's library. Post the MP4 as a video first and reuse its original sound for the photo post, or build the post in an editor such as CapCut with the MP3.

How many slides will I get?

Up to eight of your page photos, plus none, two or four drawn lifestyle scenes, and a call-to-action slide at the end.

Are the headlines already on the JPGs?

Yes. Each 1080 x 1920 JPG in the ZIP carries its headline and small line, so you can post the images as they are.

Will my product photos be changed?

No. Your page photos are shown as they are, never redrawn. Only the lifestyle scenes are drawn, using your product photo as the reference.

What does a carousel ad cost?

A slideshow is 9 credits including the jingle. From $15 for one ad, or $29 a month for about 4 thirty-second video ads.
