Process

How It Works

01

Upload a Wide Image

Drag and drop or click to upload a wide panoramic image. For a 3-slide Instagram carousel, use an image that is 3x wider than it is tall (e.g. 3240 x 1080px).

02

Set Slide Count

Use the slider to choose between 2 and 10 slides. The live preview updates instantly to show your panel dividers and each slide numbered in sequence.

03

Download All Slides

Click "Download All Slides" to save each panel as a separate JPEG file. Upload them to Instagram in order (starting from the first slide) to complete your carousel.

Use Cases

Popular Use Cases

Instagram Carousel Posts

Create swipeable carousel posts where a continuous image spans multiple slides. Ideal for before/after reveals, infographics, and product showcases.

LinkedIn Document Posts

Split wide timeline graphics or data visualizations into LinkedIn carousel-style document posts for higher engagement than single-image posts.

Tutorial Step-by-Step Slides

Design a horizontal step-by-step tutorial as a single wide image, then split it so each step becomes its own carousel slide.

Portfolio Showcases

Display a wide portfolio spread across multiple swipeable slides, letting viewers explore your work at their own pace without losing the panoramic context.

Tips

Pro Tips

01

Use an Exact Multiple Width

For 3 slides at 1080px each, start with a 3240px wide image. Exact multiples ensure clean pixel-perfect splits with no rounding artifacts at the edges.

02

Keep Text Within Each Panel's Safe Zone

Text near panel edges may get partially hidden by Instagram's UI overlay. Keep critical text at least 100px from where each slide divider falls.

03

Add Design Elements That Span Slides

Lines, shapes, or gradients that continue across slide boundaries create visual continuity and encourage viewers to swipe to the next slide.

04

Number Slides Visually in Your Design

Add "1/3", "2/3" labels in your source image design so viewers know they are looking at a carousel, not a standalone image.

05

Use 1080px Height Minimum for Instagram

Instagram crops thumbnails to a square. A height of 1080px ensures your first slide fills the feed thumbnail without black bars.

06

Post Slides in Correct Order

Upload slide-1.jpg first when creating your Instagram carousel post. The tool numbers slides left-to-right so the sequence is always clear.

Next step

Slides exported? Plan the post next

Once your carousel slides are split, the next step is getting them live in the right order. Learn how to schedule Instagram posts, map out a full nine-tile layout with the grid maker, or read our Later alternative breakdown to pick a scheduler.
