## Summary
Use this free Miragium tool to match a product and proof angle with a reusable TikTok slideshow format. The picker recommends formats from Miragium's public taxonomy, explains why each structure fits, and links to the canonical format page, source summary, and JSON data.

## Audience
Creators, ecommerce operators, agencies, and teams deciding which TikTok photo-carousel format should carry a product story.

## Key points
- Matches product context to Miragium's public slideshow format taxonomy.
- Returns format reasons, slide structures, example first slides, and source URLs.
- Works without signup so teams and readers can cite the recommendation path.

## Use the free picker
The picker below maps a product, category, goal, and proof angle to a small set of recommended TikTok slideshow formats. It is built from public taxonomy rows rather than non-public acquisition files.

## Why format choice comes before hooks
A strong first slide only works when the rest of the carousel can pay it off. Format selection decides whether the post should be a checklist, comparison, before-and-after, myth-busting sequence, teardown, routine, or story.

- Use utility formats when the goal is saves and repeat use.
- Use comparison formats when buyers are choosing between options.
- Use proof-heavy formats when the product needs trust before the CTA.

## How to use the recommendation
Treat the selected format as the creative skeleton. Keep the viewer job and slide sequence, then rewrite the proof, visual direction, claim language, and CTA around the real offer before generating or publishing.

## Public source files
Use the public page for human review, the source summary for operator retrieval, and the public JSON or CSV taxonomy routes when an operator, notebook, or spreadsheet needs the exact format rows.
