Anyone else struggle with exporting Claude Design carousels for social?

Been using Claude Design for Instagram and LinkedIn carousels for a few months now. The design speed is unreal but the export is genuinely broken.

If you screenshot the slides you get the page counter, nav arrows and pip dots baked into the image. Aspect ratio is never exact so Instagram re-crops it. The fit-scaler Claude Design uses shrinks the canvas to ~96% of the viewport which leaves white edges. The native PPTX export mangles fonts and shifts layouts so handing a deck to a client is out.

Spent a while doing the manual cleanup in Photoshop per slide. 13-slide carousel = an hour I'm never getting back.

Stumbled on tryrenda .com last week. It's a render layer so you just drop the Claude Design HTML or project ZIP, it spins up headless Chrome, hides the carousel chrome, iterates the slide toggle for multi-slide decks, and outputs a PNG per slide at exact platform dimensions. Also does a working PPTX which is the part that surprised me.

Made a quick video walking through the workflow end to end because I couldn't find anything similar when I was searching. Mostly posting in case anyone else has been fighting the same thing.

Curious if anyone's found other workarounds for the Claude Design export problem? Or solved the Claude Design → Figma round-trip? That one's still beating me.

It's a bank holiday weekend and we decided to stay in London instead of going away. The weather is absolutely amazing, so we want to make the most of it and spend as much time outside as possible.

We've done the obvious ones already, Hyde Park, Primrose Hill, Hampstead Heath, so we're looking for something a bit different. Ideally somewhere with a good walk, a nice pub or coffee spot nearby, and not completely overrun with tourists

Thank you! ❤️

I work in marketing and run a small business on the side (Alimio), so I'm constantly churning out content for clients and for myself.

For ages my workflow was Canva. And honestly, now that I've found a better way, I've realised how much time it took me before to create a good visual. Hunting for a template, swapping text, nudging elements pixel by pixel. An hour gone for one usable post.

A week ago, I started using Claude to design instead and it genuinely changed things. I'll screenshot a post I like, drop it in and ask Claude to build something similar using my brand guidelines (or a client's). The output is miles better than what I was getting out of Canva and I'm producing 10x the volume.

The one frustration: getting the design out. PDF export gave me a blank page. HTML works but is useless if you need to post to Instagram or send to a client. I spent ages looking for a clean way to get a PNG and came up empty.

Eventually found a tool that just does it. Paste in the Claude design, get a PNG. It's called Renda https://tryrenda.com/ Sharing because I couldn't find anything else that solved this, and I'm guessing other people here have hit the same wall.

Anyone else using Claude for design work? Curious what your export workflow looks like.
