How to make an Instagram carousel

From one idea to a swipe-ready post.

Choose a carousel style, arrange the story slide by slide, and export numbered images that are ready to select together in Instagram.

  1. Choose the carousel type

    Start with a photo story, a seamless panorama, or a text-led guide. Add photographs or load a sample deck to explore.

  2. Build the swipe sequence

    Add, duplicate, remove, and reorder slides. Mix full-bleed photos, editorial frames, text slides, and short captions while keeping one visual style.

  3. Download and post in order

    Export a ZIP of numbered JPG or PNG slides. In Instagram, select every image in numerical order to publish them as one carousel post.

Ideas and occasions

Carousel formats people save, share, and finish swiping.

Use the same focused editor for casual photo dumps, polished brand posts, useful educational decks, launches, portfolios, and continuous panoramic stories.

Seamless Instagram carousel

Stretch one landscape photograph and an optional headline across several slides for a continuous swipe effect.

Photo dump and travel story

Give each photograph its own slide, preserve a consistent crop, and add small captions only where they improve the sequence.

Educational carousel

Combine a strong cover, concise tip slides, examples, and a final save or share prompt in one readable deck.

Product launch carousel

Lead with the result, show details and benefits on later slides, then finish with a clear next step.

Portfolio and case study

Sequence process photographs, before-and-after frames, project details, and outcomes without squeezing everything into one collage.

Event recap carousel

Arrange highlights chronologically and use slide numbers to make a longer recap easy to follow.

Current Instagram carousel formats

Design once. Upload every slide in order.

Up to 20 items

Instagram supports longer carousels with as many as 20 photos or videos. This maker focuses on still-image slides and keeps every filename in numerical order.

Portrait-first sizes

Choose 1080 × 1350 (4:5), 1080 × 1440 (3:4), or 1080 × 1080 (1:1). Matching dimensions make seamless swipes and text alignment predictable.

Finish inside Instagram

Select the exported slides in order, then add the caption, music, location, tags, or collaborators using Instagram’s publishing controls.

Useful by design

Built for the carousel formats Instagram creators use now.

The editor focuses on slide order, consistent visual identity, clear text, continuous imagery, and reliable numbered exports—not a general-purpose design suite.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Does the Instagram Carousel Maker create one image or several?+

It creates a series of separate images. Each slide is exported as its own numbered JPG or PNG file, and the complete set is also available in one ZIP.

How many Instagram carousel slides can I make?+

This tool supports up to 20 image slides in one project, matching Instagram’s expanded carousel capacity. Instagram can also mix photos and videos, while this browser tool currently exports still-image slides.

What Instagram carousel size should I use?+

Use 1080 × 1350 pixels for a familiar 4:5 portrait carousel, 1080 × 1440 for the newer native 3:4 photo format, or 1080 × 1080 for a square carousel. Every slide in the exported set uses the same selected size.

How do I create a seamless Instagram carousel?+

Choose Seamless, add one wide photograph, set the number of slides, and drag or zoom the image until the joins look right. The tool renders each section as a separate numbered image.

Can I make an educational or text carousel?+

Yes. Choose Guide, use text-only, photo-and-text, or editorial layouts, and keep headlines short enough to read comfortably on a phone.

Can I add music or collaborators?+

Add music and collaborators inside Instagram after uploading the exported slides. Those platform publishing features are not embedded into the downloaded images.

Are my carousel photos uploaded?+

No. Photos, text, crops, filenames, and exports remain on your device and disappear from the editor when the browser tab closes.
